Hulk catching up to Daytona

Sundial? By that, do my mean sunburst? Sport watch? By that, do you mean a Rolex Professional watch.

Yacht-Master still comes with both grey and blue sunburst dials. Milgauss Z-Blue still has a blue sunburst dial. I suppose it is possible that these dials will not be available on future models but it is equally possible that they will be.

Is there a particular reason why you say Rolex will discontinue sunburst dials on Professional models? If that is what you actually said.

Oh it’s mentioned… ghost listings and inflated asking prices. But use it as your resource to see what you should pay or sell for, you will be disappointed on both counts.

Okay, I’m not a Rolex linguists or experts like you guys. I was told by several Rolex “experts” that the Sundial/sunburst, whatever you want to call it won’t be available anymore on S/S Subs. Sorry for confusing a few of you Rolex experts guys out there. Carry on.

That’s pretty interesting. Wouldn’t surprise me if they did this. I’m curious how this info came out before Rolex released it .

Hated it. Warmed to it. Finally bought it. Urgh.

[Subguy48]

Either way, I would love for the the price to just continue to Sky Rocket right passed the Daytona, but unfortunately this listing for a late model here on the Forums isn’t gonna help support that argument!

What I think he meant to say was the Hulk is possibly the last all steel sports watch Rolex with a sunburst dial, and certainly the only steel Submariner that I can think of that has ever had a sunburst dial. The yacht master if I'm not mistaken doesn't come in all steel and the Milgauss is not considered a true sport/diving watch.

It does seem like Rolex is moving towards only offering sunburst dials on precious metal watches and has been a topic or discussion for quite some time on the forums.

Well…the good news is attention was brought to expose a Fraudulent Listing. And the better news for many of us is that own an 116610LV is that the price keeps pushing! As stated, I would love to see it surpass Daytona pricing. I don’t necessarily think it will anytime soon, but since it is in fact discontinued and keeps moving up rapidly on pricing…it certainly has potential to do list that!

As an owner of a 116610 LV I guess it benefits me to see the pricing jump. That said, as owners how do we benefit if we never sell the watch and cash out? So let’s say it jumps in value to 65k, if it sits on our wrist or in a box, really we make nothing. It’s more of an ego boost than anything; or does it become bragging rights that we own this hyped piece? Either way, to me, this seems ridiculous.

Rolex is moving towards only offering GREEN Sunburst dials on Precious metal watches

How did he manage that!?

[Tensai]

Watching paint dry and watching Hulk values, two classic American pastimes.

[watch81]

Hulk will eventually cross 50k if we keep talking about it and promoting it :)

Yes. The Datejusts certainly have sunburst dials.

Maybe, but the white SS Daytona will be at $100k at that point. Tide rises all ships….

Experts? People who work for Rolex? AD buyers who have disclosed to you confidential advanced information?

Did they say "Sport watch" or "S/S Subs"? Your narrative seems to be shifting around.

Rolex sell two model lines. The Classic range and the Professional range. They don't sell a Sport range. The YM and the Z-Blue are both Professional models, as is the Sub.

When you say PM models do you mean full PM or TT? There's a TT Sub with a sunburst blue dial that is less than two years on the market. Has someone at Rolex told you that this is being discontinued? That will put a few grand on the used values.

Rolex are not known for moving towards a sales/marketing position because it is being discussed in a forum. This is equally as improbable as anyone on a forum having a clue as to what Rolex is thinking of doing next. I suppose that if people talk enough, the law of averages will land in their favour at some point. Just like all those predictions going back countless years that Rolex is about to launch a Coke GMT Master. Some day it will be true. Possibly.

Depends on the Daytona too.
