A long-lasting hulk?

I'd like a 116610LV that's accurately replicated and reliable.
A few month ago, it was simple : get a noob V7 with the fake ETA.

But now:
  • the noob bezel isn't the best and the VRF looks like a better alternative
  • the SA3135 seems to be more reliable than it used to
  • toro offers an "ORIGINAL SWISS SELLITA SW220-2" movement as well in the noob case

So I'm a bit lost. Of course, I could read all recent threads on all the forums to make my decision but that would take me weeks...


So, which Hulk would you guys pick if you were buying one today?

I think that the best choice for reilability and price/value is buy an asian eta version and service it

VRF is the best option right now. You'll be happy with it - until you see a real one. (The colour of the bezel is breathtaking - the deepest, richest emerald)

The SA3135 is better than it was, but if it breaks it usually means you have to write the watch off or spend a lot more than the cost of the watch to have a Yuki put in it. I won't buy anything that movement.

There will always be something better in a few months.

I ordered the VRF A2836 last week. Will show a pic when it arrives. I’ve had two SA3135 watches break over the last 6 months, so may be jaded but I’ll say stay away!

Thanks for your advices.

Are you planing on having the broken watches serviced?
