The "Who Has the Best Hulk" Review

[danielesanta]

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.

yes, you are perfectly right. i focus on the movement because for me it is the most critical aspect; let me explain better. if some parts are not perfect for me it is not a problem, but if the movement stops or is not reliable for me it is a serious problem because in my area I do not have watchmakers to entrust my replica. that's why i insist on the movement.

so: what are the real advantages of a vr3135 if 2824 and 2836 are reliable movements? consider that i will never modify (franken) my replica.

Thanks

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

perfect and for me this is a supelative plus!!!!

Try to talk to a TD, tell me your budget is 300-350 and see what they can offer... Like tobel already mentioned, nog every watch is available

As I said theoretically ETA clones should be a tad more reliable, but in the rep world it's always luck of the draw. So you can always receive a watch whose movement is dead on arrival

Don't know the v8s sorry

I remember that when I ventured into the replica world (in 2017) the factory noob was among the best

now i see that for hulk the factory noob is no longer mentioned, why?


I would have found models with

- noob v8s

- noob v10

- noob v11

all with 2836 and bracelet 316, on 300/350 euros that is my budget

do you say noob is still a good factory for submariner hulk 116610?

thanks

Well I got a NOOB V10 A2836 for around $333 with delivery in February (arrived in late March) from TrustyTime. It's a nice watch but it certainly doesn't come without flaws. The bezel print is too dark and the bezel doesn't align perfectly with the dial. Also the date magnification is not crisp enough. Overall you get what you pay for because something tells me these flaws don't exist with the VS Factory (VSF) VS3135 version. It's close to $600 but again, you get what you pay for. Also the font on the dial is not bold enough when compared to the gen.

can i ask which version of noob? trustytime proposed me v8s or v10 while sead proposed me v11.

all with 2836 and a price of about 300 dollars excluding shipping.
if it's not too much trouble could you post some pics? (also in private if you want)

how do you like the movement? is it precise?

i would be oriented towards this

As I stated in my prior post, I have the NOOB V10 with the A2836 movement, the same as the link you provided from TrustyTime. The movement is good (-5 seconds per day). If you insist on NOOB because of the price, I would suggest you go with the V11 from Sead.

How come there's still Noob subs on the market if they're closed?

yes i think i will go on noob (v10 or v11) and 2836, for a number of reasons they are suitable for me

- pretty reasonable price (about 300 euros)

- quite reliable movement

- possibility in the future to put an eta swiss

- average workmanship (not great but not obscene)

if ill get v10 i'll buy from trustytime, if i get v11...from sead!
