Hulk prices

It seems all the other rolex sports models grey prices have come down15% to 20%, even the Gmt BLRO is coming down but Hulk prices are stable . Dont get the logic behind it.

probably because the Hulk is slated to be discontinued, or at least people think

Probably discontinued and very beautiful....
If they are discontinued they will be one of the few that increase their price in the short term

Because the LVc is a stunning piece, the dial is mesmerising.

Supply and demand, speculations of being discontinued. We will know during the next Rolex releases. My guess is that its going to be discontinued.

It's a stunning piece highly sought after. More than Bats, most people seem to keep their Hulks and flip bats

What really sucks even when prices are going down the USD is going up now. So If I wana buy a watch I'll still pay almost the same old price after currency conversion to USD
In other words its great news for local buyers only.

In forums in other countries it is commented by some foreros that the discontinuation of the lv is almost safe and a gold version (some that claims to have an important source, is played up to their account in the forum).
My opinion is that everything indicates that if to get a green for the next anniversary.

Just like the LN All Black GMT that was discontinued, prices went up & eventually stabilized, but the bottom line is if in fact HULK should discontinue, it will continue to go up or hold value. The watch was originally an anniversary release line to begin with, not a standard Submariner.

Looks like a good way to kill a great website. I can see if you're a grey who is holding onto tons of overpriced stock why you wouldn't want people talking about the obvious.

I think you can call a few ADs and find one. Lots of my friends are finding sport models on the shelf. So the deception of a supply shortage is going away. At least for me.
thanks

At first glance, I thought it was hideous and now I still think its too much green.
The few friends whos gotten one say: "You can judge when you have one..."
Cant deny the hype and the craze its gets.
I say I dont like so I dont get it, what do y'all think.

Tried this and it didn't work too well for me. I did find a SD43 126600 in stock though... Which was very tempting but I really want a hulk.

Agreed, they where happy for everyone to discuss the prices going up crazy amounts over retail.

Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion but it gets tiring seeing these types of posts consume TRF...I see you’ve been here for five days but imo threads like these takes away from the fun of the hobby so I’m personally pretty happy Steve and the mods made the decision they did.

It's grown on me to the point where I'd like to own one but it's not worth the grey price to me. I don't think it's as versatile as the LN which I have, black just goes with anything, always!

I agree, I didn’t really like them at first. I picked up a kermit few years ago and loved it. Now looking to get a hulk

In some lights the green looks really good and in others too light to my taste, maybe it's because the dial isn't gloss and I do love a nice gloss dial!
