The Legacy of Rolex’s Hulk Submariner: A Reflection on Time and Trends

For every watch enthusiast, there are pivotal moments in their journey. The initial spark of curiosity, perhaps ignited by a humble Timex or a cherished heirloom Rolex, evolves into a consuming passion. As enthusiasts delve deeper, exploring brands like Ressence and Greubel Forsey, they realise the depth of the horological world.

In the realm of Rolex fandom, one iconic model stands out: the Submariner Hulk. Released at Baselworld 2010, the Hulk represented a bold departure with its vibrant green bezel and sunray-finished dial. Its 10-year production run coincided with significant shifts in the watch market, from the rise of waitlists to the advent of the secondary market frenzy.

The Hulk’s legacy extends beyond its design. In an era of rapid change, it remained a coveted symbol of status and style. Despite its discontinuation in late 2020, the Hulk continues to command attention, with prices hovering around $20,000 in the secondary market.

Reflecting on its journey, we recognise the Hulk’s resilience amidst a sea of Rolex releases. Its enduring popularity speaks volumes about its enduring appeal. As trends ebb and flow, the Hulk remains a testament to Rolex’s ability to captivate collectors’ imaginations.

While the Hulk’s future is uncertain, its impact on the watch community is undeniable. As we celebrate its legacy, we’re reminded of the power of time to shape our perceptions and passions.
