Not bad for wholesale price if you want to flip it in a seconds..... Then of course you could sell it for more, if you sell it yourself at a reasonable price...

I was in japan last month and expressed my shock about the price of Hulk to the grey dealer. Her answer was dont worry the chinese will still buy them.

Compared to a 5711 secondary price the hulk is cheap, so is the 116500. So, where can these prices go? Who knows, but there is a possibility that they may continue to rise a lot more.
If I didn't own a hulk and it was my grail, I'd do 2 things, get busy trying to source one from an AD and buy a grey one now. If by a miracle an AD comes up with the goods then keep it and pass your grey one on. When this model is discontinued it's only going one way. |

I guess some people have nothing better to spend their extra
curricular $$$ or hard earned $$$ on than 2X’s retail prices for stainless steel watches !!!! Feeding the frenzy and harvesting the MADNESS is not something I pay patronage too ... Wisdom fly’s out the window in the face of “ The Rolex SS Sports Model Mochine “ .... I reckon |

I dare someone to go try sell their LV. Your gonna get low balled bigtime and the grays going to make an absolute killing. Everyone thinks they can make money in this game until they try to sell and the margins are nowhere near what they might think they are. |

In the unlikely to impossible event that my AD suddenly had a hot model and for some reason offered it to me, I would grab it and flip it for a grey SS Sky Dweller or Pepsi. Or maybe use it on the grey market to get me part way to a Smurf. It's like being handed money for essentially nothing. If you've got the admission price. Silly, greedy, and sadly the most effective way of working the market as it currently is, if you can't get listed for a grail or don't want to wait for years. |

I suspect a very small percentage of the over all LV's are ever listed here and the vast majority go though dealers. I have a feeling that TRF flows with the tide rather than dictate it. Obviously the scarcity of these watches is impacting the price, but are they making fewer of them then they did when the Hulk was first released? Has supply shrunk or is this a result of demand rising? My honest opinion the rise of Chinese wealth has created a HUGE new market demand for these and that's probably the single greatest factor. My wife manages an international luxury brand and the push now it to get Chinese sales associates everywhere their product is sold because the Chinese client base is so big and important. They are catering to that customer both in their marketing (using WeChat vs other social media platforms) and in their service (Mandarin speaking associates). China, I feel, will only have more years of prosperity and growth in their future so that market isn't going to go away and as a result, demand will continue to grow. I have a feeling that if you call WatchFinder and ask to speak to someone in Mandarin, they will be very well equipped to accommodate. |

What's surprising about this? They are in the business to make money. I still can't see the appeal in a green watch and I love a starburst watch, silver, blue, look amazing.

The Hulk was gorgeous and absolutely the best watch for the money ... back when I bought it three times under $8K
Anything above $10K for this watch is just plain stupid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lets just say its over 20% now their profit margins. Trust me no-one is making money flipping used LVs. If you can get a BNIB at msrp and flip it you will make some coin but used prices no gray is going to offer anywhere near their asking. |

Agree & true....^^^..... Quote:
kwingy just giving us an example that he got a offer by Watchfinders of £8750 equal to 11,147 US dollars for his used 2017 Hulk..... That is over 23% profit if he were to buy it at retail price in 2017 for 9050 US dollars.... But if he were to buy it at a premium in 2017 then he maybe lose out, it depend how much of the premium he pay for........ Agree & true a NIB will always get top dollars vs used for a Hulk that is still in production....

Buying something for $10,001 and selling it for $14000 is stupid?

Forums like this and treads like this just fuel the fire. If Rolex new they could sell their watches for twice retail why would they keep retail so low?

I wore mine into a grey dealer in boca raton. After asking me if I had boxes and papers,He offered me $12,500 usd on spot. I have had it for 4 years and it is not in great condition by any stretch of the imagination.

Laughable if you ask me, 17k for a stainless Rolex? A fool and their money I suppose. Glad I have absolutely no desire to add any new Rolex’s to my collection.
