In your opinion should I pay the extra for the hulk and get the watch early next week, or wait for my name to get called on the list (i'm on the list for all the local watch shops in Brisbane). I always thought paying was above retail was a foolish move, but am actually considering it.

Would the hulk be worth the extra cash or should i wait it out with my SubC date & polar 40mm explorer ii.

Kind regards, Cloitus.

Waiting for a AD to play out their games is foolish.
Buy the watch and start to enjoy it. Life is short and you won't regret it.

Again life’s not that short since the OP started this thread over 15 months ago just saying Uggi

I would wait. The extra fees plus import tax isn’t worth it.

I don’t know he started the thread over 15 months ago. How much longer you think he should wait?

fania123 · 15 September 2018, 08:48 AM

Could not agree more!

I agree. David is a great guy and super honest.

debbs20 · 15 September 2018, 10:26 AM

I think you should pay and get it now.

shaunylw · 15 September 2018, 10:35 AM

$600 now or -$600 in what...9-12 months maybe? IMO, I’ll take the watch now and the happiness it will bring. Life’s short. $600 is reasonable.

You have the power - close this stupid thread

frankfrazetta · 15 September 2018, 12:07 PM

If you want the watch, buy it now. You will get what you expect from DavidSW. I have bought two watches from him and am very satisfied.

DoctorA · 15 September 2018, 12:13 PM

Here’s how I would put it:
1- If tomorrow you learned that it will be discontinued next Basel, will that be worth the $600?
2- If you learned it will go up in price another 10% ($900) will it be worth the extra $600 now?
3- it goes now on grey market for way more than $600 above MSRP so I don’t see it unreasonable in any way

Finally if you keep the watch for 10 years, that’s about $0.16 per day!!!!

I never bought from David but he has great reviews and is a trusted guy. I talked to him about a couple of watches and was very honest and straightforward, I would definitely do business with him

Good luck

Hey, wait. It’s not a matter of life or death to be giving your money to scalpers.

This is hilarious . Does everyone realize this thread is over a year old ? gray Prices for the LV are no longer only $600 over MSRP...

Me too. I'm less concerned with the principle over getting it nownand moving on with the enjoyment of the watch. And when one talks about limited-run watches then the premium is unavoidable anyway.

Rocketman39 · 15 September 2018, 01:09 PM

Just wait ! I would rather have a "Good Deal" than a "Good Watch" you could enjoy for the rest of your Life ! Unless you are a "Flipper" then you need a good deal.

superlativechrono · 15 September 2018, 01:41 PM

what happened? Did you get the Hulk in the end?

D O C · 15 September 2018, 01:52 PM

He got it. ROFL.

For a Hulk?

Your money will be safe as the price continues to climb like a C55 Baron on a cold day.

Why would I do that? I find it quite amusing.

life is short. buy it before the annual price increase from Rolex.

supersam80 · 15 September 2018, 03:34 PM

Funny to see someone agonizing over paying $600 aud over retail though. Nowadays the grey dealers here have them at about $6k aud over retail

HL65 · 15 September 2018, 03:55 PM

Ok enough of rhis one already. Congrats Cloitus on your purchase 15 months ago!
