Nobody knows how many have the new style card. Probably not a lot as when Rolex introduced the new card the watch was already near the end of its production cycle.

I have one with the new warranty card that I picked up a week before it got discontinued.
I took off the stickers and I wear it but it is not my daily. I have no plans to sell it. So I don't look up the values.

But I do agree that in XYZ years from now, those last pieces with the new warranty card will be more collectible just because these will be considered to be the last ones.

In my mind, after many years later it’ll become even less important since all Hulks will be old. Most won’t give a rat’s ass about the new style warranty card on the Hulk since no physical change on the watch.

the last of the LV 610's... yes, a new style warranty card does garner a premium.
Maybe 1k-2.5k

Yes.

Bought it in 2013, 7K.

I don’t see it really as massive product, many members say that, but Hulk to me is very unique example of Rolex Watch.
Buy that soon mate.
All the best !

I was being facetious. I’m not really looking for one.

I don’t think people describe it as massive, they refer to it a mass-produced watch, like many other watches within the Rolex range.

I’m pleased you have one though and I’m sure it is very unique to you. The fact you’d bought it in 2013 makes me think you bought it for conventional purposes, which is great. I too bought my Sub C in 2013 but it was an LN.

Enjoy.

Anything to justify exclusivity nowadays. It's just a watch.

How does one even find a Hulk at an AD nowadays? Such a rare find.

There will be 2021 Hulks and cards, possibly later ones too.
Who knows when AD and "special relationship buyer" get together.

There was an Explorer 21650 that came out of Greece AD that a TRF member bought here, many years after being obsolete - so that's a late one.

There will be some who pay more for a Hulk late card and plenty who would pay much less and get Rolex full service and guarantee on older one and come out happier.

Love the HULK and KERMIT(S -all) and oddly I we had family holiday in Stevenage over Bank Holiday (shame you couldn't have arranged better weather for us!)

Personally I would take the deal and sell now while the insta crowd are hot! Good Luck!

My AD purchased Hulk is a September 2020 with the older type card..Sept is the month it was officially discontinued by Rolex I think. Most likely why it was offered to me (it was probably in their safe)

I know an AD that has a NOS Paul Newman languishing in the vault.

Not a drill.

Generally speaking, when everyone is collecting something in the short-term, it tends to be less collectible in the long term...

I purchased all my timepieces because I love them and for my enjoyment.

All the good quality timepieces in good condition will be collectable in the future (might be 20 years +) even they are mass produced.

Hulk will be collectable because of the unique color but has nothing to do with the new or old warranty card.

My wonderful SA gave me the chance to own one before it discontinued last year with the new style warranty card.

July 2020 omg.

Look, a brand new fully stickered with mid case bar sticker is valued at about 27k right now....in 10 years maybe 40k...your answer is no, there are not that many 10LVs with new warranty and fully stickered... It doesn't matter what others say here, they're just not that me on the market, you can go ahead and try to find one. Once you pull off those stickers, then it's a different story. If you have the older style warranty card, it's a different story worth a couple thousand dollars difference. Once you wear the watch, again another different story.

Let's be real. If you can enjoy the watch without wearing it, and be happy with keeping it as a safe queen, then go ahead and do that. If you do not enjoy it, it's not necessarily the best investment, especially probably the fact that you dropped over 22,000 on it to recently acquire it. You can probably get better returns in the market.

If you don't get enjoyment out of it and you need to wear it to enjoy it, then just wear the thing, your money will be safe.

Ok ok ok...I relent...I will sell my unworn Hulk with the new style warranty card for $50K USD. I also have an unworn Hulk with the old style warranty card. Since it has the old style card it has been discounted to $30K USD.

PM me ASAP as this may be your last opportunity to own one of these unique specimens of Rolex engineering. These new pieces will not last. Hurry while they are still available.

I also have a 20 acre prime lot in South Florida. Peaceful and quiet. Only the sounds of nature with lots of wildlife as neighbors.

A lot of people giving you grief here lol. Not sure why…

You have a great discontinued watch that seems to be the most up to date warranty card. In that sense, yes. If it was selling against others that were “mass produced” yours would probably be more valuable.

Congrats on the watch. Hold it and wear it!

Well, given that you lose at most a few grand not having a card at all, I have a hard time believing this would have much impact.

You paid a premium for a stickered watch, so I’m guessing you want to retain that value by putting it in a safe. Otherwise, you would have bought a lightly worn 116610LV.
