Revisionist history at its best.

The LVc always sold to a premium to an LN Sub. So if the LVc “languished”, so did LN Subs. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

The hype phase impacted many watches…. What matters is that there are many watches out there for all tastes.

Be that as it may, the Hulk was one to the most flipped watches at the time. Just pointing out that that poster wasn’t being a hater by any means.

I must be a revisionist as well then! For about 3 years I was offered a Hulk, often at a discount, by my 2 AD's and the black subs just sold like they have always done. Hulk's did sit in their cases as it was a niche watch due to the sunburst dial. These were the days when you could walk in and get a Rolex sports watch as your first Swiss watch. All those people would go black.

Apologies it taken me 3 months to back you up!
