Question about green submariner

[Rahir]

Hey all,

I'm new here so hey all, thanks to the forum for allowing me post here.

Well, I've been looking for the "Hulk" and I havent been able to find one for a while - I'm located in SA Texas. It's been a while already so I have to ask, is this watch being discontinued? will they stop producing it?

The reason I ask is becase the retail price is 9,050 dollars and I see it on the gray market for a lot more which makes me wonder, why? so I thought maybe it was discontinued.

Thanks a lot!

It’s not discontinued, it’s just very hard to find, the waiting lists are huge.
That’s why the grey market prices supersede the retail ones, similar to the Daytona.

Welcome to TRF. Raku summed up the situation perfectly.

I just looked at one today here in OKC. They are asking $10,950. They would probably take 10 - 10.5 and you wouldn’t have to pay tax if you ship it out of state.

thank you all, I'll keep trying!

I even called the AD where I bought my black sub last year and they told me they dont sell Rolex anymore which seemed strange to me...

Two possibilities:

- With the shortage of sports models, ADs don't have as much stock to sell. For some of them, the brand has become an unattractive proposition, and they get out of the Rolex game.

- Rolex is pulling some ADs' status because they sold too many watches to the grey market.

Either scenario is a sign of the times.
