Apparently this one has been in the making the past two years. Advertised by the factory and chinese dealers as “killer” of all other factories Rlx Subs. True?

Don’t know what movement is inside but the steel used is 904L

Crystal is crap (too sharp edges, cyclops looks really bad), rehaut sucks ass, CG is not milled deep enough, the crown is too tall and the dial indices look flat /dull /cheap. The clasp doesn't look promising either.
The dial print and bezel looks okay. They painted the bezel numbers old school rep like.
I like the sel.

This watch is worth nothing tbh, except for the bracelet (MAYBE) as the sel look nice.

edit: And by the way all the factories can stick their 904L wherever it belongs to, if they don't even get the shapes right!

There's some positives. Sel is miles better than most of the efforts out there. Dial is certainly not terrible. Lug profile is ok, better than most again. Crystal is irrelevant because everyone swaps that anyway.

Crown guards are completely wrong, thickness, depth, everything. Rehaut is terrible as pointed out by max, and you can't polish it off on a 6 digit, so that's the deal breaker for me.

The lugs look just as most V7's do - almost square. They just seem to look better at first glance, because of the nice sel, but they aren't.

dadog13 ! Where do you find these? Adding to my confusion now as I'm trying to figure out the 116610LN to order from Sead. As I write, Sead is looking into your GMFactory sub as he hasn't heard it. Now with this, I will ask him to check this UKFactory as well. Yeah, where did you find these, OP, and for how much? V=Cam you point us in the right direction? TIA!

smoke , can you chime in? Do we have still another "aggregator" in UK Factory? Will you still stick to your original plan to buy a BP SA3135 and a VRF insert? TIA!

thinwhiteduke you would be even more confused if I told you there was as well a release from UR factory but this one is supposed to be a lower quality version (steel, movement, details) for which I am not going to post a separate thread.

Pics are of different watches - on the hulk, the pic on black has the centre of the 'M' in submariner touch the baseline, but the earlier pics has a differert dial. Mix of long and short 'ft' too.

UR are entry level reps.
UK are neither the "killers", nor the complete garbage,
I don't like the photos of gen watches used in these adverts ^^^

well, this is something the dealers or factories who makes these watches do (wasn't done by me - I am only transferring photos that I found by on-line dealers)..

I know, it wasn't my goal to point you out for that photos.

Anyway, have you seen any other photos of this Hulk, any other photos of this insert?

Amen. If they just concentrate their effort, each factory replicating a part perfectly, like one does the band, one does the bezel, one does the crystal and so on, we would have a kick ass watch.

If you are serious about finding these GMF and UK factory watches, I am pretty sure you can find it in Luohu:cool:​​​​​​​​
