The "Who Has the Best Hulk" Review

[Jrich14]

Thought I would share this here. I ordered a ZF Hulk from intime. After the first wear the clasp buckle popped off when removing watch. I immediately sent an email to Ryan at intime to let him know. I was able to reinstall it and it was OK for 2 days of wear when it popped off again, and then again a3rd time a day after that. I asked Ryan to replace the watch or clasp. He said he cannot exchange a used watch but I can send back to him for repair. I asked him if he was covering the shipping costs but have not heard back yet. Has anyone ever experienced something like this?

ZF ZZF and CF dials are better (darker) green colour. which is closer to gen. VSF has to much sun burst.

Many people are misguided about the 116610LV Hulk colors.
Just as the 126710BLRO Pepsi has various MK colors (MK1 being the most vibrant), the 116610LV Hulk also has various MK colors.

VSF follows the color of the 116610LV MK1 colors from 2010, 2011, 2012. Mk1 from the first 3 years being the most sought after. Recent online auctions prove that the Hulk brighter MK1 colors fetch higher prices.



Here's a link the the Rolex Forums explaining the various MK editions with different shades of green and various fonts formats and spacing: short and long "F." Floating and non floating "m."

I've never seen a gen hulk with a dial the colour of the vsf. Who told you the vsf is based on a early hulk dial? Or are you speculating

What I said was VSF follows the brighter color of the Hulk MK1. It may not be 100% accurate, but shouldn't be dismissed by people who aren't aware of the various MK colors.



I, myself, prefer the brighter MK1 colors on both the 116610LV Hulk and the 126710BLRO Pepsi.

Youre not suggesting the clean blro insert is like some version of the gen insert too?

Clean 126710BLRO Pepsi insert is following the darker BLRO MK3 colors, just as VSF 116610LV Hulk is following the brighter Hulk MK1 colors. Unfortunately neither are accurate. But then again, it seems not even Rolex can stay consistent with their dials and inserts.

If I were you I would just bring it to a jeweler/watchmaker and ask them to fix it. How much could it cost? $50 at most? Whatever the cost, send the bill to InTime. With any luck they'll give the same discount on your next purchase. I would never, ever send a watch back to China for something that could easily be fixed.

It's been discussed on the Rolex Forums years ago that the bezel insert on the 126710BLRO has at least 4 different color shades. That's why I kind of laugh when I read people's criticism of the same reps.

This is irrelevant when none of them look like the rep colours. I wish they did, but they don't.

Unless the rep is compared with all 4 versions of ceramic BLRO then it's irrelevant because there is no way anyone can call out the rep's bezel color without a side by side comparison.

Now the best is C+F, just released today

Sorry i have to disagree respectfully...

Clean BLRO is more like mk2 than mk3.

Mk3 is dark, like really dark. Dark cherry red and dark blurple.

Clear difference as you can see below.




Also, regarding the different hulk pictures you shown, its not the different mks, but the variance of the dial.

Hulks made for Asia market or the "asian variant" has a short serif F
Where else non asian variants have the longer not so cursive F.

 

[2fast4lust]

Ahh, I hate that i can NOT edit my posts.....

I meant to add another line that says the Clean BLRO is closer to mk2 than mk3 but, it is still no where near any of the 3 variances of inserts.

That's not true. In low light maybe but under direct light it's obvious if you have ever seen a gen. And there's only MK1 to mk3 in gen

Agreed I don't a gen to know it's fake. No comparison required at all

 

[Konstantinos_Sv]

even if vsf had closest colour to the first hulk version the spacing on the printing making this dial worst.... becouse the printing is for last version with color closest to first version? and also I don't believe its even close to the gen colour ...the other thing that is bad on all hulk reps is the window inside the cyclops... the window on the gen has corners.. I mean the window of the dial for the date... if you see carefully you can immediately see that the hulk dial is not like black dial of LN the LN date window is rounded... so reps are close to the black dials... but on hulk its fcking obvious that the dial is fake you don't need to see the green colour or sunburst to know that this dial is fake...

 

[KJ2020]

The BP Miyota Hulk dial is close to early gens. Note that both have the short ft space m dial, which BTW BP uses on all their Sub dials. I have a bunch of them, 5 and 6 digit.

The BP Hulk date window has some straight outer corners, the inner corners are more rounded.

Guys, keep in mind were talking about 0,01mm spacings vs 0,02mm spacing.. what matters the most is the green tone, the print quality, the right font, and nice looking markers. ZF and ZZF (clean) did a good job. VSF dial is in sunlight to shiny and misses the deep green tone, everything else is good.
