I don't think it will happen but on the flip side can you imagine a blue sunburst SS Subc? Internet would break for sure.

Its probably better that you don’t as you will save a lot of money and time on a waiting list.

Hulk ownership will change you in unexpected ways.

I bought my Hulk from an AD in 2011 for $6600 before sales tax. I suppose I could sell it and put some decent coinage in my pocket, but there isn't another watch out there that I'd rather wear. I wear it 24-7 and it still looks great and keeps dang near perfect time.

And this is exactly why the HULK will shoot up in value if its discontinued. Every person I have talked to said once you own the HULK it has some sort of ora around it that keeps growing day by day. Out of 3 people I know with hulks, none said they would sell it.

You are correct. The LVc has a “x” factor once owned that can’t be duplicated. Owners are passionate about it long after the honeymoon phase is over. That fact that it isn’t for everyone only makes it even more special for its owner and it will never be pedestrian.

Agreed. Didn't like the Hulk for years. Once I saw one in person I knew I had to have it. One of the most captivating watches I've ever owned.

You can't get the HULK in Australia ADs either. Only in the 2nd hand market which fetches around $14000 - $16000.

This could be the one thing that tears off some demand from the D500 and maybe finally puts some downward pressure on its resale... maybe...

If the HULK does get discontinued. What price do you predict ? 12-15k, 15-20k etc etc. A poll would be really handy. Is it possible to make one ? Now is a good time to have a poll 3 months before Basel 18

I got one this week and I still managed to pay under full Canadian list price though. I'm seeing TS selling pre-owned for $10K USD and up which to me is insanity.

Asia has apparently gone even crazier for them. I've read on some HK forums they're going as high as $11.5K USD or thereabouts.
Which of the Hk forum do you use?

Yes, they are going to discontinue it and replace it with the DeepSea with a green bezel and dial. It will be known as The Bulk.
