116610lv - hulk - owners club - post em if you got em

[bootlegboy]

I'm very interested in getting the Hulk. But does ARF make the Hulk with the SH3135V2? I seem to only find the LN with SH3135V2 but not the Hulk.

Mate, post more photos of the modded dial markers.
Very curious about the rhodium plating effect.

Certainly. I'll make a video comparing it with my gen GMT dial and hands.

I didn't opt for gen hands because I couldn't stand the lume mismatch. If one has handled both stock Noob Subs vs Gen parts, the white gold shine is really hard to miss. It gives gen the 'Gen' feeling.

The Noob hour hand isn't as curved as gen even though it's much nicer after the rhodium plating.

In my opinion, when it comes to Sub reps, the lume quality compares as follows:

BP < ARF < Noob << TC < Gen

Those Louie bezel inserts are something else. I have the same with SpongeBob mod. Makes ALL the difference in the world.

Nice thank you. Can he round the edges of the marker? How much was it and do you feel that it was worth it?

Nice thank you. Can he round the edges of the marker? How much was it and do you feel that it was worth it?

He cannot round the edges of the marker, I did try to get him to. He doesn't remove the dial markers, he works on the dial with markers attached as there is a risk of spoiling the dial lacquer in the process. It cost me $275 for the dial and handset excluding shipping. I think it is worth only if one has a good base dial to work on i.e. for the Hulk which are far and few. The A2836 dials are terrible. Mine is luckily one of the better Noob 3135 ones as per the man Smoke himself. Perfect font size and spacing, the font color isn't crispy white like gen, it's slightly dull. Here is my stock rep before any mods next to mech500's erstwhile gen:
