After much waiting I have my Hulk.

Got on line in Grey Market. The store I got my watch was a Chrono24 .
There were a couple things I let slide by . Seller told me I had 5 yr warranty from Rolex. As all of you know that is not the case. But, I was hot to trot, so I let it slide by. In 55 years of owning a Rolex I have never had any mechanical problems so the warranty wasn’t a deal killer.

I got the watch on July 26. It was all neatly packaged but then I looked at the warranty card and saw that it had been registered on July 28, 2017.
I am not sure if Someone else owned the watch or if that away done by the AD in Bermuda. The watch was registered to a Bermuda resident.

I sent the watch to RUSA for an appraisal and authenticity..... was it fake?
After 22 days (of which 5 days were getting USPS to deliver the watch to RUSA)
I now have my AUTHENTIC Hulk on my wrist!

If I were younger than 73 I would probably have waited it out to see if prices would fall. But, at 73, one never knows.

The Old Man

I was wondering about this the other day. I think most of us that commented on the original post were in the camp that it was authentic so I am glad to hear it all worked out. Congrats. Now time to figure out how to upload some pics!

Congrats and great choice! You should have a 5yr warranty from Rolex. From 7/2015 on Rolex offered a 5 yr warranty (from the date that's on the warranty card). So, sounds like you have warranty until 7/28/2022. Enjoy and cheers!

Congrats! Better late than never! As many would say years down the line when you look at the watch the amount you paid for it will be the last thing you think of’
