To me it is more a situation of speculators riding on Hodinkee´s audience and appeal,

and trying to cash in on it asap, much like the people buying Rolex professional models, Patek Phillipe Nautilus, and AP Jumbo´s who flip them as soon as they leave the store.
In the particular case of the special editions, kudos to H for doing them and taking a risk, while at the same time, shame on the manufacturer´s for not being willing to put up with said risk and come out with these cool iterations by their own. Some of these editions would make great core collection products for their respective manufacturer.
I guess it is a mind game in the end, only make X in order to keep your clients coming back for the next one, and the next one......
Cheers,
