Hulk ? Again

I asked this question a few days ago but the Hulks seem to be appearing on here a lot lately as incomings. Is this a sign? Especially after Basel??

Could be or could be AD’s were intentionally holding them back for the post Baselworld crowd.

John, in my case, I’m fairly certain my AD was holding on to one in case they got discontinued. As soon as the new releases were announced, it became available. Not sure if that’s a similar case with others.

It makes sense, I'd have to say they will start showing up again. I was about to pay a little premium for one but will wait a little while now.

Now most of "them" who have realized they guessed it wrong. Will the price decline to normal?

I called four or five ADs in my area four days ago and added my name to the Hulk wait lists. Today I got a call that one is in stock, in the vault, and ready to go. I pick it up tomorrow.

In all honesty, it seemed pretty easy. One of the ADs complained they hadn't seen a Hulk since last year, while the others made it sound like getting one wouldn't be too difficult. Now, four days later I get the call. I'm not sure what this all means, but it was pretty easy.

My AD is apparently trying to get me one, but it’s not an easy watch to find here in the northeast. Much harder to get than a Batman imo.

Hopefully all the stock shortage will cease and levels will go back to normal and we’ll be able to walk on and get what we want soon enough

Got a call from my sales at local authorized dealer here n Indonesia. Got an incoming hulk within a couple of weeks. However, I got to purchase another watch (any brand) to get the hulk

I think the end of shortage is coming soon

With the margins involved, it's just pure greed to make a stipulation like this.
