The VSF Submariners Thread

[michaeldingyi]

Get the one you like. Yes the Hulk dial is slightly off. Noone will notice or care unless you're handing your watch to enthusiasts or side by side with gen. There are threads out there you can read for Hulk dial.

Or just get both. Easy peasy.

Haha that's a good attitude, thanks! Both for sure down the line, but for now, I only have the budget for one.

When you mean slightly off, do you mean the color's a bit off? Or the sunburst? Anything else I should look for?

Although it's for myself (i know this is echoed alot here, but this has been a grail piece of mine for the last decade), I wish to know that it is at least very close to the gen. This is meant to scratch the itch, so I won't continue chasing after this piece. Especially with how expensive it's gotten after it's been discontinued.

Suggest you have a search of the forum, there are various threads comparing a gen sub reference to VSF counterpart.

If you are so concerned, easy, get the gen dial and replace it into your LV

Any pictures of the VSF Hulk dial in the sunlight? Is the bowing effect of the sunray finish fixed on this version?

Dial does look a better shade

The "Who Has the Best Hulk" Review

This is honestly the best Franken Hulk out there imo... Mark 2 💚 As I've said before, when it comes to the Hulk - No rep dial can compare to the Gen in direct sunlight. Is this what you’re saying is a gen dial?

forum.replica-watch.info

This entire thread is better, it's specifically for the Hulk. Read from page 48 onwards, there's some good comparisons between all the dials, I think the conclusion was that Clean's is the best.

Clean's Hulk dial is better. VSF is the inferior version. But it's very subtle, and unless you know what you're looking at and have experience with gen, for $500 the reps are good enough. Said it before but no rep "Hulk" dial is ever going to be like gen, period.

Hi guys, a question. I’d like to mount the gen Bezel on my 116610 CF. Is it plug and play? Is there any difficulty in rotating? Thickness? Can it be installed with the hytrel ring rep or do I have to get the gen one?

Thanks in advance!

The simple answer is trial and error. No reps are ever exactly 1:1 to gen constructions

I am going to order 124060, latest batch is Q66? Or is there a newer one?
