This is the movement jvs uses.
The double one is vs3135, vsf uses

Noted buddy. Thanks for the information. It’s a good watch but irritating that someone has to pass it off as a vsf

No problem, you welcome. Yeah, unfortunately noob with daytonas and vsf left a big gap after their closure, and we instantly saw fake noobs fake vsf from people trying to profit from their popularity.
Its like vsf's and noob daytonas are gen right now and fakes of them pop up,funny i know...

I wonder which is the latest Hulk, serial S19 or S29?
Is there any difference?

Difference is only Serial number?

My S19 has nicer lug profile than S29

Only serial, and first R of rehaut(mainly at LN, don't remember to have seen any lv with that problem)

First I've heard of this, can you show pics side by side? Maybe one is a fake?

Both of them are definitely VSF because I checked movement.
It maybe individual difference?

Pics will be later.

LN: S29, it was originally HULK
LV: S19

LN’s SEL and LUG of bottom left side do not keep a certain distance.
LV keeps all of SEL and LUG certain distance.
No in the photo but same for the top left side LUG condition.
Impression does not change even if I change the each bracelet.
So difference doesn’t come from bracelet shape.

As I said previous post, both of them are real VSF because of VS3135 inside.

Looks like a production fault of the position of the holes in the lugs, to mount the sell. position is to low, so the sell sits to low?

Yes, I believe this phenomenon is due to inconsistent positioning of the holes on the case.
When Rolex do this, I'd imagine they take care to ensure the case is perfectly positioned in the jig, secured down so that it can't move and then carefully drilled with a new drill bit.
In the rep factory they are just trying to get through as many cases as they can before lunch/door gets kicked in/face gets kicked in for being to slow/ maybe all of the above and little care may be given to how well it's done?

I don’t think so because SEL is aligned with bezel bottom side and SEL doesn’t stick out on back side of the lug.

Thanks for your reasoning, I’m certain that my S29(LN) has production fault that lug wasn’t be shaved properly.

Still awaiting my BP Miyota dial with marker swap from the ZZF dial

KJ do you know which dials are a direct fit for VSF hulks? ZF and BP with VS or other factory markers look amazing. Also, how to source just the dial???

There were some pages in the VSF or ZF Hulk thread where this was discussed pretty extensively, I'll see if I can find it.

The BP Miyota I have will need to be shaved to fit the ZZF case, just one of those things you gotta do if you want the mix of parts.

DIY Dial Shaving

Best place to get dials is M2M - subscribe to the sales section. TDs can get parts too but their willingness can depend on your relationship and the size of your order (buy a watch also). TD dial prices are getting pretty steep but there is nothing better aftermarket. Rep dials are still the best for the price - lume, printing etc.

Does anyone actually have photos of the ZF hulk dial on its own like the back of the dial. Wondering the size of the ZF dial also as I want to confirm what I’ve been sold ….. I’ve bought an apparent ZF dial from jtime but pretty sure he sent me a CF dial, any info would be much appreciated
