I get complaints all the time.

My apologies Mike and TRF members.I'll pay more attention to what I'm posting next time. I tend to get a little caught up in the moment. My friends & family tell me the same. I got a mouth like a sailor. What can i say i', working on it...

I've seen more LV's than regular SubC in AD's in London. Still never seen a SS Daytona in a window.

Had the similar experience at an AD in NYC. " Those are hard to find" as I took off my SubC LV to try on a few new pieces. Must be a common sales tactic. Or urban legend

I'm about to pull the trigger on the Hulk but I was curious for a couple of reasons regarding the stock at the AD. One, I wouldn't mind a fresh one that hasn't been taken in and out constantly. Two, I've been offered good prices on other models so I'm hoping I can get the same on the Hulk. I never inquired about the Hulk when discussing prices on other models I previously looked at. Wish me luck guys!

I've been in maybe 10 AD's in the last year in 4 countries and seen the hulk in probably 6 or 7 of them so not rare - great looking watch though :-)

Simple sales technique...create a sense of urgency to get a buyer to buy immediately.

"Better get this before someone else does..."

That is why there is often so much "buyer remorse" with big ticket items when the buyer has time to actually think about the purchase they rushed into.

+1. The sales lady told me and my wife the hulk was rare and prices will increase soon. My wife believed her.

She's right. It's as "rare" as the SS Daytona.

In other words...it's NOT rare at all.

I would agree. In my experience it is probably on a similar scale of rarity as a SS Daytona, maybe slightly less so.

It's whatever you want it to be, but not rare.
