So now, with the updated case and crown guards... is this the best 114060?

The vr3130 has ghost date position? I mean, is it a 3135 with no date disc and 3130 engravings, or it is a real 3130 clon?

So before I put in the order for a CF Hulk can anyone give a reason why VSF would be superior?

CF has:

Better date alignment
Better rehaut
Greener insert with their v4 as opposed to VSF's CF v3 insert
Better dial
Better bracelet with sharper midlinks with their hookup from ARF

And equal in terms of everything else I can think of (SEL recession etc)

Now with the CGs reshaped why would I get VSF?

Genuine question before I make the purchase.

Valid questions.
Has anyone compared the latest updated Hulks from Clean vs VSF?
From all that I have read, it seems that Clean has edged the lead. Most importantly is the fact that Clean Factory up and running and hasn't been affected by the raids. VSF may be down for a while and when they resume, their QC may not be up to par as they are going to be pumping out production to catch up with back orders. Another reason Clean may be the best option.

It’d be good to know if the revised crown guards are being rolled out across all the sub models... keen for a two tone

The case profile is there but the CG’s are not quite there yet. Getting better for sure.

Thought VSF had been using the v4 insert since mid November - I think Li said this. Why would Clean still be turning out a v3 insert if they have moved on to v4?

Figured they just made a crap ton of them and gave inferior versions to a rival factory similar to how factories try to get rid of crappy parts to buyers in general. Haven't read of VSF updating to v4 but if so then yes that's one less advantage.

Looking at the crown, its more like reverse. Mid is gen and bottom is vsf.

great that clean finally corrected the CG shape. Rehaut is better on clean
