So after a bit of research it’s looking like the above is the best rep

does anyone of yous own one and what are your thoughts?

Also says waterproof to 50mtrs. Is this true? Cheers

It‘s a good looking watch but has its flaws as every other ceramic sub or sub hulk.

Endlinks not properly recessed but more flush
Endlink surface uneven, visible when light hits the surface
Lugs may have got unsymetry depending on the watch you receive
Cyclops magnification is too low (2x instead of 2,5x)
Weak black hole effect
In some terms not period correct if you‘re nitpicky

With a better crystal and a bit of modding it turns out very well. Here you go:

Depends on what you‘re looking for!
OOTB you may be served better by an ARF Hulk Submariner.
If you’re going to mod a little bit and save up money for parts VRF Hulk is a good choice. VRF has got the best looking Hulk bezel color at the moment.
If you’re going to mod with gen parts as dial or hands you should have a look at VRF3135 or Noob SA3135.

And there are some other options. GMF, DJF V1 and V2...
All have got their pros and cons.

It should be waterproof. Why not? Everything is sealed.
If you don’t trust the watch grease all gaskets with silicone grease and you’re done.

Don’t trust any rep to be waterproof from the factory. Get it checked before you get it wet. Sounds like weird high school health class advice, I know.

Any decent watch smith has a pressure tester .. $10 for peace of mind.
