noob v7 is the most popular atm
there is a v8 new on the market but its more expensive

i suggest you read a few threads about comparing the subs, there are plenty of them

For mod is better SA noob v7.
Ootb is better VRF.
ARF has a lot of flaws...

The vrf is the best hulk imo and I've not even had one in hand.going from pics only.im going to order the new 3135 bp hulk and the vrf bp dial and insert and installing on the 3135 bp case as the c g are totally great on the 3135

here is the vrf vs gen they are in different lighting but I bet inn the same lighting the colour of the dial and insert will be very very close.

The vrf has a nicer almost perfect insert colour.almost perfect dial aswell.more darker visable Rehaut engraving.and better lugs and cg than the 2836 v7 the vrf is using the v7 noob braclett and clasp aswell

smoke Hey bro are these vrf/bp dials the same quality as the original bp hulk miyota dial? To my eyes they look more like that eta version with less sunburst or am I wrong? Hard to tell from the pics

VRF also has a very nice and firm bezel assembly. Very GEN like. Much better than Noob.

For modding v6s 3135 is best.then the rare 1in 50 v7 3135with v6s lugs.then the new bp 3135 .
Hey Smoke, or of curiosity I don't seem to be able to find the BP with a 3135 with the trusted dealers or am I reading your post wrong?

Thanks LaPavel, don't mind my noob'ness. I actually got confused thinking the A3135 was different to the SA3135.

Then I realised it's the same movement. :p

In the context of your conversation, yes.

But actually, they are not.
It's quite nuanced. So, moving forward, be careful.
1. A3135 MAY mean an A2836 (or some other asian movement) decorated and dressed up to "look" like a Rolex 3135 movement;
2. SA3135 is an asian attempt to copy the Rolex 3135 movement; unfortunately, many gen 3135 parts DO NOT fit here; here, you will see the engraved "ADJ. 5 POSITIONS;" and
3. SH3135 is a movement done by a Shanghai factory that successfully produced the closest copy of the Rolex 3135; gen 3135 parts fit here; this is engraved with the hilarious "POSIIIONS." Also known as Yuki.
Just sharing a little info because the marketing dudes in China may just get you if you're not careful.

In dealer pictures, VRF and BP subs have left-justified datewheel for numbers in twenties. Do actual owners see them? Noob dates seem all centered.
