The "Who Has the Best Hulk" Review

[danielesanta]

Can I ask your advice on a submariner hulk?



Here are my requests

- budget between 300/350 euro

- movement vr3135

- bracelet 316F

- reference indifferent



And now some questions:

- Which factory do you recommend?

- Which trusted dealer do you recommend?

- do you think with this budget of 350 euros you can get a decent replica?




Thank you very much!

For 350 Euros you most certainly can get a decent Hulk replica. Contact one of the many TDs listed on this site with your requirements. They will best advise you. Hont, TrustyTime, PureTime, Jtime, etc.

Definitly not Jtime, he charges 65 dollar for shipping. Try hont, or mirotime for free shipping.

these are great deals:

Man you were not pointed out to this thread so you could ask the same question as in the other thread you created. You were pointed out to this thread so you can read it as it contains the answer to your questions. The "who has the best sub" or "who has the best hulk" in this case is a joke on people who don't read anything and just ask the same question all over again. We get these on a daily basis
So can you start by reading this thread and let us know which one you have selected? If you have questions not answered here then everyone will be happy to help you then, but don't be the lazy guy.

Also read about the role of TDs in the FAQ, don't ask what best TD, it doesn't make sense

You're right, but 48 pages scared me a bit; I read the first 3 pages and I noticed that they are full of technicalities that I don't know.

My request is very simple

- hulk (no matter reference 116610 or 126610
- vr3135
- 316F
- 300/350 euro

that's all. i'm not a detail freak so i just need some advice. anyway thanks

What you must do is contact the TD first and ask for availability before going through with a purchase.

Sorry mate but there's someone like you asking the exact same question basically every day. So if you're not willing to read a bit then you're not going to get a lot of love here. This is not Apple's genius bar where folks are paid to repeat the same stuff over and over again...

If you take the time to read then it's ok if you don't understand everything, once you've gone through the thread then ask your questions about the things that you haven't understood and people will be more than willing to help

 

[Tijdwijzer]

woderful hulk....but my budget is 300/350 euro....

my advice: raise your budget to 416 euro and get the ZF.
Or be ready to pay twice for a shitter movement.

sorry you are absolutely right

sometimes laziness tends to make the forum look just like an apple store...I apologize!

i will read as much as possible that 48 pages thread!

thanks a lot to everyone

but movement like 2824 or 2836 is good for a sub hulk?
i know that 2824 or 2836 is a time bomb on a gmt2...also in hulk?

should i always prefer a vr3135? are other movements good? as a factory i'll settle for one that is good, it doesn't have to be excel

Then you have your answer your self
Buy the cheapest you can find. Maybe a Quartz will make you happy
Enjoy

Great, honestly it won't take you a lot of time and if you are like a lot of us you will actually enjoy it.

With regards to your question on movements, ETA clones such as 2824 or 2836 are on average the most reliable and easy to fix or cheapest to replace in case something goes wrong. Now they have a couple of issues, namely the fact that they work in the opposite direction as genuine 3135 when setting the time, and they also have a different height for the stem (the metal stick that attaches the crown to the movement) as genuine, leading to crown being slightly at a different height and slightly different crown guard shape as genuine. But we're talking about less than a mm. Do note that 2824, unlike 2836 don't have the instant date change at midnight

Clone 3135 movements have now become reliable as well, and less expensive to replace (if I'm not wrong a VR3135 can be obtained for like $130, but folks correct me if this is incorrect)

So all in all they are all good options, just note that all high end sub reps now have clone 3135 movements (for 116610, 126610 is a different story)

 

[Tijdwijzer]

That's right, a new VR3135 blu hairspring movement is about 150 bucks, also a VS3135 on Ali goes for around 160-180 bucks.

thanks Tobel, thanks!!!

I understood that the shape of a submariner hulk required a modification to the 2824/2836 movements, and this modification made them more fragile (as happens with the GMT II)

in other words: on hulk 116610 the movement 2824 and 2836 are reliable as vr3135?



if i understand your words well, i can buy with some serenity a hulk replica with 2824 or 2836, maybe with a factory as noob (zf is more expensive)

at this point i ask: what more does the vr3135 movement offer? is it more accurate? from the forum it seems not; is it more suitable for the structure of a submariner? again i think not. is it maybe just a replica closer to the gen movement?

thanks folks!

to start with, you'll have to check whether some models and factories are still available. For example Noob isn't any longer, so unless you buy from another member otherwise you wouldn't be able to source one
Then you also have to consider everything else apart from the movement. Is the replica accurate, does it have a good dial, a good case, a good bracelet etc. The movement is only one element.

​​​​​​Another benefit of having a replica movement is that it accepts genuine parts, in case you want to Franken it.

 

[mmaggi]

Best part about an A2824 or A2836 is if it fails you can replace it with a genuine Swiss ETA version.
