Buy the Hulk while you can...

[watchtabs]

Bought mine from DavidSW, sold it.. regretted it and got one from Rolex AD in miami. It’s a keeper.

Those who say it’s too much green didn’t give it enough time.

Got mine over a year ago and have been loving it ever since. Prices have gone up quite a bit here in Thailand. Don't think I'll ever sell it though. Definitely a keeper.

Makes no financial sense to do it.

Millions - where did you come up with that number? Hopefully it wasn't from some little birds!!!

You could buy four BNIB with this plan in mind and get hit by a bus the next day. What happens to your plan then?

I wonder the number as well.

Rolex has made average of 650000 watches per year in last ten years. That is an rough estimate available. So lets say it is 6500000 watches. They have about 300 model variations which they produce. Hulk came out in 2010 Baselworld, so 7 years of production. 7 years make 4550000 watches. If allocation would be divided even, which it is not, to every model variation, there would be about 15000 LVc watches made, in 7 years.

Hard to get exact numbers, but just to play a bit to prove that there are not millions of LVc watches, not hundred thousands, not even tens of thousands propably.

Sea dweller ceramic 116600 is a better choice if one going to buy for investment. 3 years production likely less than 5000 pieces produced. It will be the first ceramic model to be discontinued in Rolex history.

There are many models produced in much smaller volumes than the best sellers, which renders such estimation as above problematic. Very few of the big gem-set models, for example, are sold in each territory every year.

I am confident that many more than 5,000 Sea-Dweller 4000 116600s were produced.

I did just that and now the wait begins.

Why put your name on the AD list? You can get one tomorrow from a trusted reseller on this forum.

Because why overpay if he doesn't need it urgently?

Also some people value peace of mind, experience, service and relationship of buying direct from an AD.

Good pics showing away from the brightly lit ADs the dial is quite dark and the bezel too. But I do love it in the sunshine too.

I've bought 3 watches from trusted sellers on this forum and I have no issues with it. I do have an issue paying over retail for something I don't "need" immediately. I recently bought a BLNR so am fine waiting for the LVc to come in. Plus it's my first time buying from an AD so I chose that route as a opposed to buying now through the forum.

[c_robbs]

Just got done posting on a different thread (a guy said the price of his hulk went up) about how it really is getting harder to obtain the hulk due to the shortage of the watches and the demand going through the roof.

I think it would be fairly risky, but might be some money there. MILLIONS of these watches were made. If the price went up that much, I'm guessing 70% of owners would be willing to part with them and the supply would rapidly eclipse the demand and used ones would be back to +/- $7K, new ones for retail. Generally, exclusivity is the key to long term growth in a watches value. My 2 cents.

Good point, I am talking new in box or new old stock, full stickers, never worn safe queens. Several people do hide watches away to resell later, the NOS prices go crazy. I know someone who only collects NOS, never wears them, never peels stickers, He actually wears a 200 dollar Seiko.

[swish77]

Man, I'd never buy a Rolex just because it may or may not be discontinued. I gotta love it on my wrist, and the green Sub-C never did anything for me.

It's not just that it's too green, because the dial is very cool. It's that bezel. In certain light it reminds me of light avocado green, which is not very appealing.

Makes sense. Do this with a limited edition Patek, and now you're talking! (like someone could actually stick a limited edition Patek in a safe and not wear it... flawed logic for sure)

Millions? Eh. OK...

The LV was introduced in 2010 nd has been in production for 7 years. Sources on the forum claim Rolex produced in total less than one million watches and down to 750K per annum the last couple of years.

Taking into account the vast number of model in the Rolex line-up - and that this forum often consider DJ as the most selling model, there is no substantial evidence that there should be MILLIONS of LVc floating around.

Many, yes - but let's not go totally hyperbole.

I think you're right, probably only a few hundred thousand in reality.

[AndyWright]

I can't see why they would stop producing a great seller...very hard to believe.

The same way they have stopped making previous models.

Plus, isn’t the hulk commemorative of X number of years of the sub?

The Kermit also lasted 7 yrs.

I believe they only make 1 green for every 4 or 5 black, maybe more including the No Date, so number would be even less than that.

[Loevhagen]

So if volume of Rolex produced pr. annum is say 800.000 watches and 25% is SS submariners and the ratio is 1:5 for the green compared to the LN and the 114060 - that should indicate 40.000 LVc/annum. Over 7 years that's under 300.000 LVcs. Still many, though. But far from MILLIONS.

Same here.

I've never liked the color green, but that dial can definitely look very nice.

The bezel however looks awful to my eyes.

Just out of curiosity,.... How many of you have actually seen a LVc out in the wild on someone's wrist?? I would consider myself a advanced watch spotter with 25 years of Rolex spotting. I have yet to see a LVc out in the wild. The green is pretty easy to spot in a world of black watches and I am still zero for zero spotting a LVc either on vacation or in my home area. I thought my Bluesy was a rare watch to spot in the wild over the last 20 years but its almost common compared to the LVc.

I've only seen one out in the wild. I've seen a ton of them in AD cases but I have no idea where they go after that.

I have seen 3. One is my brother's. One is my friend's. One was worn by the auto shop owner where I took my car to.
