Rolex Submariner Hulk UK availability

[Rebel80]

Hi, I’ve been into Rolex for the last 2-3 years now.

I love reading about each of the models and exploring these forums. However I have never actually posted anything until today.

There are many threads that discuss availability of models such as the hulk and blnr etc. From what I can see, usually after calling around the ADs one may add you to a waiting list or may even have one available.

I’ve tried over the last few days to get a Hulk. No hurry I’m happy to even wait a while. But I can’t even get onto a waiting list right now. I’ve tried London, Manchester, Liverpool, Oxford, Cambridge, Southampton, Plymouth, etc etc. And they all say the same thing. Either waiting list is closed or I would have to have brought something beforehand to even be considered to go on to the waiting list.

Has anyone had any luck in the UK recently? Does anyone have any tips for someone who is purchasing their first Rolex sports watch?

My Mrs thinks I’m mad to “waste my time” searching the way I have been. But what can I say, I really want one and I’d love to have it before my 40th which is in a years time.
