Congratulations. Love that dial. You're correct. Can't appreciate it fully until it is on your wrist.

The hulk was delivered to the store yesterday. We were just in the right place at the right time.

Just realized we both have 50th anniversary divers.

Still on that Pepsi hunt. Pursuit is more relentless than ever now.

We ran into a Hulk in the wild today while in downtown Lahaina.

I have to eat crow on my apathy for this reference. I get the watch. Just remarkable.

From a distance, when the dial looks black and you can tell the bezel is green, it really throws you off.

The Gentlemen we talked with was from Seattle and waited 1.5 years for his. He almost fell down when we told him our story.

Great pickup. Can you didn’t have to drop 50k on a precious metal piece to get it

I have a buyer lined up for the DJ.

I’ll update once the sale is final as to not “jinx” it.


Edit: nothing like carrying 40k in Rolexes in my carryon bag through the airport.

Did you ask the Maui AD who bundled the Hulk, what you needed to buy to get the Pepsi?

They indicated precious metal. I’m pretty positive they had an SS Daytona as well.


The DJ we bundled was the lowest priced piece they had in the showroom at the time.

I think we took under a 2k loss on the DJ which still put us under the Hulk premium.
