Congrats. I don’t get this hulk insanity. If anyone wants to buy mine for 11000 I’ll sell it and get a new one for 9500.

Two days ago my AD called "Your LV is here" I drove like crazy to reach there before close, and when I got there..... man let me tell you the store was filled with SS models SD43, DSSD Blue, LN, 114060, BLNR, LVc

I paid $9,466 which is the new retail price. Man that watch looks amazing in person




and a family pic


What means the new retail price? Prices has changed?

Congratulations! I can only hope my AD will have a similar restocking as I'm waiting for my BLNR to arrive.

These prices are much higher than Qatar and both countries are tax free. Strange



Congrats on the hulk it is a wonderful watch

Congrats on the new beautiful watch!!!

SD43 price has increased more than 10%? And the price difference between sub date and SD43 is more than $4000! Wow!!! I'm glad I got my SD43 before the price increase.

Wonder what happened to SS Daytona-C? Huge increase also?

I think your missing the point - the reason the Hulk (and I'm guessing most SS Sports models in general) have been selling way over MSRP is due to their scarcity in AD's - simple supply and demand economics.

What the OP is saying is that, in SA a least, that may all change soon as they now appear to be starting to filter through to the AD's so no need to now carry on paying inflated prices on the grey market.

My point really is that no one will want to buy yours used for 11000 when they can get one brand new for 9500.
