Hi All

Anybody know what has made the prices of the Hulk jump drastically the last few weeks?

Are there more discontinuation rumors or just coming into line with the Batman possibly?

There were 3 on Watchfinder yesterday, all at over £13,500 and one of them has already sold; over double retail!

I've bought from Greys before and paid over retail but it's all getting a bit too rich for my blood now

Every time I see this watch I think of Erlich Bachman.

They won’t get cheaper..

AK797 · 12 June 2019, 04:12 AM

This year prices seem to be escalating, maybe it is the famed but illusive trickle down economics finally at work as Patek prices have gone stratospheric.

It will all burst one day, Dutch sales of Tulips springs to mind.

A situation 400 years ago regarding perishable flowers is not a great comparison to mechanical watches in 2019.

Whole tulip thing has been debunked multiple times

Unless supply spikes, this is the new normal

Agree 100%. And yet seemingly every day someone on here says that the increase in secondary Rolex watch prices is a "bubble like the tulips". Which is total rubbish of course.

You need to research the subject more thoroughly, although greatly exaggerated it did occur.

The comparison made was lighthearted, you need to lighten up.

Supply may not change, but demand will when the economy tanks. Everyone knows that will happen, just not when it will happen.

Big thread on TZ-UK on how 3 Hulks were just sold to WF from a known fake scammer.

3sheets86 · 12 June 2019, 08:32 PM

Trying not to be biased by the fact that I don't like the Hulk at all, I can't see how it could be worth BLNR/Oyster money on the grey market as it's still in the current line up. It just perplexes me.

ricardoo · 12 June 2019, 08:34 PM

Sorry , What is WF ?

bigfatpauli · 12 June 2019, 08:35 PM

It's nice to be in the presence of all these expert economists.

I firmly agree with about half of you.

AK797 is referencing a thread on another forum in which a known scammer by the name of Zilkurrnain Sayub (he has various aliases and has a thread or two of his own in the Watchout! subforum here) claimed to have sold three apparently legitimate LVc's to WF recently.

Nobody has said WF have listed three fake LVc's.

I'm watching this price thing with interest. I've heard a rumour (from a legit source) of the following...

1. Current Hulk has stopped being produced, in readiness for a new release next year, they are just getting though stock levels of new sales.

2. Hulks ARE being faked. Using aftermarket bezels and dials, Rolex service will return them to standard if the S/N does not match when sent in!

Believe this or not... this is what I've heard!

I don't see why they would re release the Hulk though. Seems more appropriate to discontinue it and put the new movement into the standard sub

Thats what I've heard they are doing... now, the question is if the will keep the Hulk running... with the updated movement!

I don't think it would be different enough unless they put it on a jubilee like the BLNR

but the whole 'green' thing was meant to be commemorative so making it never ending it less special

Well... the Hulk was never really a commemorative version, the Kermit was... they just probably experimented with ceramic colours and found green was a stable production colour!

Oh god, lets hope the never put the Sub on that nasty 'decorative' jubliee! Just makes people want the MK1 BLNR even more... hence the price increase I think!
