Worth buying a cf hulk dial for the VSF hulk?

ZF has the best hulk dial in reps. ZF like another user said is dark like Gen. VSF was much lighter in green. The ZZF even had a better colour than VSF.

I disagree. See below..
Not sure if I have already posted my photo here, too.
Shows the different laser, cartwheel, disco dial effects.
VSF, ZZF v3, Noob v10s, Gen.
Gen is the 2nd watch with significant lighter effect.

I think the VSF is closest to gen.. here is gen and VSF again..
There is neither one of them 'much lighter in green'. They are all pretty much the same green with differing sunbursts or laser effect. of which I would pick VSF.

Look at the the 1st and 2nd pics.... It's in a lighting that majority of us are in... Workplace, mall, home etc... The VSF dial looks terrible in that lighting. It's so light and not even close to Gen.
Now look at the 3rd pic...Your telling me I have to go outside on a sunny day under a tree just to have my hulk VSF kind of match with genuine lmao. A ZF in the 1st and 2nd pics would look the best.

It's crazy how many people will recommend VSF as the hulk to buy yet it fails at one of the most important parts of the hulk and that is the Dial.

So do they all though? Look at bowtie on the genuine watch above, none of the reps can manage that no matter how close the colour is.
The genuine dial is made using a process involving gold, no rep will ever do that.. found this..
The dial is mainly brass and they apply a mixture of gold powder and aluminium powder very similar to PVD coating to dial but its not solid gold if it was it would have to be hallmarked.And at one time Rolex did advertise it as being green gold on there web site.But it was soon removed as you cannot state anything thats gold unless its real solid gold like say 9Ct,15Ct,18Ct,22Ct, etc.And if over a certain weight and the dial would be it would have to bare a assay mark.
Just read down the text in the picture below.

I understand but nothing is perfect to gen on any replica in general. We just hope for the closest thing possible and live with it or we franken it... The VSF doesn't come close to the dark green were looking for on a Hulk dial but the ZF does. I'm not saying its gen like, but out of all the hulk reps available to us, ZF has the best dial colour( I say colour because the markers on vsf is better) ... Unless it really did get worse after the raids.
You guys can argue all you want but VSF is the BEST one. I've had them all. Enjoying and laughing at this thread while wearing my VSF. The entire watch is superb including the dial and markers AND the crystal which is the best out of all the makers hands down.

Looks great in the shade, sun light is the dials enemy. I own a vsf but won’t wear it out of the house.
