Walked into an AD looking for pepsi or daytona, they had a TT submariner, few datejusts, TT daytona in the case. Then the salesperson offered a green submariner from the back safe, I tried it on and thought about it, could not refuse it.

Now I am a proud owner of hulk, batman (just got 2 months ago) and black date submariner.

Cannot post pics as I am still new, hopefully one day I can share the pics of the beauties.

could you tell us why they give you the hulk from the safe even you were only asking for a daytona? any offers besides the hulk? you are a really really lucky guy, congratulations.

Because jewelers can sell whatever they want to whomever they want.

Speed · 25 December 2018, 03:31 AM

Congrats.

Those pieces are awfully similar. Perhaps now you can think about branching out to other brands and styles...

Indepth · 25 December 2018, 03:32 AM

Congrats! I’ve been on the hunt for a Hulk for a few months now.

Sadly no Christmas miracles for me this year. But I’m fortunate to have gotten a BLNR and SD4K within a few months so I can’t complain!

watchamatic · 25 December 2018, 03:43 AM

Great find! I had my own Christmas miracle last week when I found an SD43 upon walking in at a random AD. Wear it in good health!

hodie9 · 25 December 2018, 03:56 AM

Congrats. Great Christmas gift to you.

calatravato · 25 December 2018, 04:03 AM

Congrats and enjoy!

I’m seeing more and more of these types of posts where rare SS models are given to walk-ins. Perhaps a sign that demand is trailing off a bit?

watch81 · 25 December 2018, 04:13 AM

They just got the hulk last week, I am not sure how it plays because apparently they have list for all the SS sports models. What I have heard from other AD’s, it’s hard to get hulk compare to BLNR.

I tried the bluesy also for the first time, it’s very loud and flashy in my opinion, not for me at this time.

I think there are more watches flowing. I myself got a Submariner date after a 7 day wait days before Christmas when arguably demand is at its peak.

Calatrava r · 25 December 2018, 04:18 AM

I saw several ADs got Hulks in the last few weeks. I understand the new Rolex policy is to sell the watches to whomever comes in the store and not go down lists. I guess they figure the folks on the lists are more likely to flip.

Danny83 · 25 December 2018, 04:28 AM

Congrats !!

dwjez14 · 25 December 2018, 04:34 AM

Congrats. I have the same 2 watches. Wear the hulk the next few days

“ I understand the new Rolex policy is to sell the watches to whomever comes in the store and not go down lists. ”

Nonsense. RolexUSA doesn’t tell their dealers how to sell their inventory. I got my BLRO last week because I’d been promised one and it was my time. Lots of other “listers” here received pieces lately. Also been a handful like this where someone walked in and got a surprise.

christian1221 · 25 December 2018, 09:44 AM

I was on a waitlist for the Hulk (no prior purchase history with the AD) since May of this year, just got the call a few weeks ago and now have black sub date and the Hulk! Loving the green dial and it hasn't left my wrist since.

Harry-57 · 25 December 2018, 10:08 AM

This is encouraging. Maybe it's a blip, or maybe the madness is easing. Either way, congratulations. Superb watch. So classically Rolex and yet so distinct.

rolexdream · 25 December 2018, 10:56 AM

Seems like USA ad’s are getting more stock? Definately in the uk at the big ad’s eg goldsmith, wos and m+w who dominate the market, they dont even want to put people on lists never mind sell them to wakins.

Seems to me it's more like Rolex is throwing a bone to the AD's for the holiday season. Nevertheless, it's good for ppl looking right now.
