Hulk Availability?

I have had a hard time finding a new Hulk Submariner. Have other members been running into the same thing in your area? Just curious as to when the supply is going to loosen up as this watch has been out there for a while now.

I don't want to say I have seen a lot of them, but I have seen quite a few shops local to me with one in the display. Happy Hunting.

As Hank indicated, these aren't available at every shop on a moment's notice, but in the US they can be had without too much wait, though require a little effort. Finding them in the UK is another story altogether.

Most likely won't as Rolex only makes one Hulk for about every 4 Black LN Subs.

I have noticed that DavidSW has not had any Hulks offered on his website in about a week, and the last one he had for sale (brand new) was $300 more expensive than what he used to charge for a brand new hulk just a month prior. So maybe there is an actual supply issue?

Have seen them in cases relatively recently, call around or get one from a trusted seller.

I wanted one. The next day I emailed DavidSW. The next day a brand new one arrived via FedEx to my doorstep before 10:30am. I would guess there are plenty of them around.

That's the best way to buy an LVc in my opinion

There seems to be a shortage across Asia. I have not seen one in a few months. They seem to come in far less than the BLNRs.

This is true. The Asian market has taken a liking to this model and it seems to be causing a blip of a supply issue overall..

However, most AD in the US are in a full stock position on this reference. Ready for immediate purchase. All you have to do is pay for it and enjoy..

The entire lineup?

What part of the USA are you in because I could be tempted to a DaytonaC black or white.

I don't think I have ever not seen one at my local AD's. They are always sitting in the case.

I was looking to buy a Hulk but couldn't find one in any of the ADs at all. They seems to be far rarer than the BLNRs.

It kind of comes and goes in cycles at my AD...sometimes it will be months that there isn't one and sometimes one will sit there forever.

There's one sitting there right now, FWIW.

Seems to almost be 4 to 1 in terms of deliveries in the last 6 months. Almost the opposite of last year. Hope that changes soon!!

My local AD hasn't seen a LVc in over a year now yet had a BLNR in the case for weeks for sale. I think it goes in cycles. When I was ready to purchase a LVc from our forums largest trusted sellers, none had any in stock for a long time. They still don't. DavidSW got new one in and I snagged it in under a hour of being posted. That's the only one reciently and no pre owned either. I have been keeping track and there seems to be a shortage of LVc at the present time.

Good luck on the search. It's worth the wait.

Ok thanks everyone for all of the feedback... sounds like there are some out there to be found. I had an easier time finding a BLNR but maybe it just varies by region... and luck!

I was at an event recently and meet a senior person from Rolex who informed me that Rolex will be scaling back production and supply of the LV going forward. This might explain any current/future shortage in supply.
