Original thread on my gen hulk - https://forum.replica-watch.info/for...om-my-ad-today

When I got the call to pick up my gen, I had shipped out my v7 hulk a week prior to spongebob for platinum paint mod and to have my loco louie hulk insert installed. A few days ago I received my watch back, and wanted to post a quick side by side next to gen. This is only a single photo - will be posting more side by sides in different lighting tomorrow. For now -

the platinum mod is on point - hardly distinguishable from gen. As for the loco louie insert - it’s sooo close. In bright light it doesn’t get that emerald green like gen does, but in all other lighting conditions it’s nearly there. Just a little more faded and less saturated when it glows... hard to tell the difference in lower light conditions. Very impressive.

edit - more side by sides now that I’ve had more free time.

Ok here we go.

First, nothing off with the platinum mod. Must have just been some water. Here are some close ups.

Now some side by sides outside, but in the shadows. Very close here.

Now, outside on a cloudy day. This is where the color is slightly different. Much closer than all the other inserts so far. Props loco louie, too bad you couldn’t run your business well though. It really was a killer insert.

Spongebob it platinum mod is on point. Unlike other inserts, it changes from grey to white depending on the light sparkling on it. Pure white paint does not have this effect, nor does pure grey paint... which is kind of what stock inserts look like.

in bright light, the gen insert is more saturated and more of an emerald shade than a forest green shade. Last photo is with flash.

Can we have more comparison pictures in different lighting especially the emerald green you're referring to?
This is amazing!

Spongebob looks really uneven, zero on 50 in specific. Also have some doubts with zero on 10. OP, can you do a close-up please?

I’ll post more later, at work right now.

I will say the stock loco louie insert before the mod was too white in all lighting conditions.

I’m putting this guy up for sale in the m2m section soon. Feel free to PM me for inquiries.

money I’ve invested into it -

$600ish for noob v7 hulk with Swiss eta from toro bravo with dhl
$75 plus shipping for loco louie insert
$220 for spongebob platinum paint mod.

watch is in mint condition

will not sell for higher than what I spent. I am not looking to make a profit even though the Loco Louie warchivre insert is discontinued.

Many thanks for this great comparison photos, wear the Gen in good health!

My LocoLouie will soon be out for plating to ussdassein, I'll definitely post pictures after but will only be able to compare with stock v7 "light apple green" insert.
