Gen vs Vsf hulk

Spoken like someone comparing watches via photo & never having the gen in hand
That's the thing though! If I never felt the gen in hands I would be content with a VSF. Once you hold a gen in hand you appreciate the finish. ZF feels better in hand but obviously not the exact same as gen but definitely much better than VSF does. ZF machined it very well. Just wish there QC was consistence.
Maybe you lost feeling in your fingers from VSF pricking you so much.
lol well to be fair I did franken all my VS with gen bezels. ZF does have a nice watch but I don’t think the CG or lugs are as accurate

this pic is I believe before raids. Look at the CG how it's finished.
Correct, first batch ZF was awesome. Sad that I sold it..
I asked several members about ZF and vsf. They said zf have a bigger cyclops than gen and smaller cgs. Not sure if this is true tho.

CG definitely looks better on the ZF, lugs are excellent too. I usually swap with gen Crystals but haven't with my VSF yet since I never wear it but I did show it to my buddy and first thing he said was it needs gen crystal. The cyclops sucks. Ticks me off too, but every replica needs a gen crystal.....and hands lol so what can you do.

To be honest I couldn’t tell much difference with the cg between crown guard and gen, if anything I thought the crown logo was done better on the vsf.

Not sure how you'd assess that without having a look from the side. The issue with the ZF crownguards is that they're vertical and not slanted, unlike the VSF, which is hard to tell with a picture from the front. And I'm saying this after having bought a ZF first.
Also the SEL recession on ZF is not great. Overall the VSF case is a definitive win for me.
The ZF however does have a great rehaut engraving and a very decent crystal with no distortion and some honest black hole effect
You want listen the best Of all? This gen has not the mark 3 dial so it’s not so dark as the mark 3 is . If you put a gen hulk with mark 3 will be more darker than what you see from that gen … so vsf it’s way more out of colour than you see here… I have CF last model hulk and vsf hulk and the dials are like different watches feels
I'm talking about how VSF CG stick out more. Once you see it it's instant tell. Mac posted a pic of the backs. You can see where I highlighted why the CG looks bad in the front. Also if you look closer at the edges you can see why the VSF feels sharp in hand and gives some people that cheap feel. It's just because it wasn't properly finished. Soften the edges would do wonders for it.
This gen is mark 2 the most lighter dial of hulks after that follows the mark 1 and last and the darker is mark 3 so think how dark had to be the vsf who Pretend to replicate the mark 3 …
Yes you right I didn’t show it clearly I’m sorry that I didn’t see it . But still mark 3 is darker than that

Like many others, I have followed ZF since it's over hyped and disappointing release. The CG's were too short which is why it was not popular. It also had unacceptable SEL gaps which were later fixed. The rest of the watch was similar quality to VSF and the Hulk dial was better.
If you see something different, perhaps you have an updated ZF. Can you post some pics please and I will give my opinion if your CG's are like gen or not.
Gen and VSF CG's and lugs are 1:1 as far as I am concerned. Actually, Gen and VSF 116 case is 1:1 as far as I'm concerned (rehaut angle aside)..

Good point, The Sub above is a 2018 and it's the same as VSF. The ZF may well look more like the earlier style 116 CG. Can you post a front on pic of your ZF Yogi?
I’m not sure what model but it was purchased around 2016 so it could be a 2015 model.

the think is with all reps they are not all the same maybe some vsf has better cases.... mine vsf had problem on the case was wrong ... as i said streetfighter in older post your vsf maybe has best case or maybe most of vsf has good case we dont know i have CF and it has the right look colour and some ppl here have CF with wrong lume colour... its a little game of luck the think here is the VSF hulk dial is way off

No question about it, VSF Hulk dial is the weakest link in another wise strong release. The VSF116610LN (black) is a better rep in this respect. ZF Hulk dial was marginally better but I have read/seen on this forum that the ZF dial is not enough of an improvement to warrant replacing the VSF one, it's a little darker but mostly because it is still wrong. Now if you want a Hulk dial that kicks ass, you need to source a BP dial - show 'em KJ..
