HOW MUCH IS A ROLEX SUBMARINER HULK?
In 2020the Rolex Submariner 116610 LV Hulk had a UK retail price of just £7550. However, due to the huge popularity of the model and the lack of availability, prices on the secondary market were double this. Some industry professionals thought that prices would reached their peak when the Hulk was discontinued butprices continue to rise. You should expect to pay a premium for an all original watch with inner and outer boxes, warranty card, both hang tags and both manuals. Recently serviced or new old stock Rolex Hulk watches will be the most expensive examples will find - but these will also increase in value the most.
HOW LONG IS THE WAITING LIST FOR A ROLEX SUBMARINER HULK?
There was a time when it was only the Rolex Cosmograph Daytonathat had a waiting list. There was also a time when we would struggle to sell a Rolex Submariner Hulk. Times have most certainly changed and pretty much all of the Rolex Professional range now have lengthy waiting list - although most AD's are reluctant to even place potential customers on waiting lists unless they have some form of relationship and buying history. Our estimate is thata customerwith a buying history would be waiting 3 - 5 years to get a Rolex Submariner Hulk from their local Rolex dealer.
WILL THE ROLEX SUBMARINER HULK GO UP IN VALUE?
The simple answer is yes. It's impossible to to say how much the Rolex Submariner Hulk will increase in value during your ownership but we can have a look at the price increase from the past 10 yearsand use this as a guide. With this in mind you can expect the Rolex Submariner Hulk to increase in value at a rate of around 10% per year.
WHAT MAKES THE ROLEX SUBMARINER HULK SO POPULAR?
The Rolex Submariner Hulk was not always a popular watch. It's only in the past 3 or so years that the green dial and green bezel of the 116610LV has captured the hearts of collectors. Green is an acquired taste though and from our experience the Rolex Hulk is an easy watch to fall out of love with.
