I didn't want to say as I don't have any proof, but my first thought when reading this post is that this Hulk is not genuine. If it is, that "Rolex" box certainly does NOT look genuine. Hope I'm wrong as I'll I really don't like fake posts.

When I first saw it, that’s the first thing I thought. It doesn’t look right to me. It looks fake. It looks like a real bad fake to me, but it’s not a good picture either, so that could be why.

I'm not certain it's fake; hard to tell from the poor initial photo. Lighting accounts for a lot of the differences. I do find the propensity of some on the forum to jump to the F word every chance they get to be disconcerting however.

Yes it is a terrible photo, but, for example, look at the hour indices on the dial.

The fact that few can apparently spot warning signs should be more disconcerting to you. It's not even a great fake.

As far as jumping to the F word at every chance, really ?
Just how frequently does this happen outside of "Watchout" ? Pretty much never.

The OP obviously has a camera and the internet, so I would imagine is well capable of posting better, clearer pictures with a handwritten note telling us doubters where to go. I'll happily eat crow pie when he does that.

Apparently, the OP has a Batman. If it’s fake (I think it is from the lack of good pictures and flimsy defense) it should be clear to him. A side by side should settle it for everyone, which he likely won’t do.

Wear it -or- Sell It! Seems like you were holding it to sell and if you haven't worn it in 3-years then I guess it's time to sell.

I’d sell it, but not right now. I think this model will always be desired as long as they don’t remake it.

If you need the money though, then sell now. It’s a great watch for wearing though too. Maybe you will change your mind with wrist time?

Little late to sell since you missed the top.
Actually sell it to me for $10k, I'll use it as a backup.

Don’t sell it, you just need a bit more wrist time with your other watches. Revisit in another 3 years

I don’t understand why you waited so long before considering smashing it with a hammer or throwing it in your toilets!
You have definitely won the award of the King of Trolls of TRF!

You missed the very top but your investment has performed very well for you. I would personally cash out now and look for alternative investment vehicles to reinvest your capital into.

Force yourself to wear it for a few days and see if it resparks interest and makes its way back into your regular rotation. If not, then sell it

Normally I'd say sell, but given the market is a tad soft, I would consider holding if you don't need the cash right now. I am not familiar with prices for the Hulk, but I'd look into it first, maybe see what dealers are offering for it at the moment.

It all depends on your financial position, if you need money sell otherwise keep and enjoy it.

I hope you got a free bowl of soup with that fugazi. My advice, hit it with a hammer to prevent others from being swindled.

Is that a real Rolex? The box certainly isn't genuine if it's supposed to be a Rolex box.
