Nice combo! I have both of those myself. Get yourself a large watch box buddy, I think 2021 is going to see some amazing reps to fill it with.:lol3:

Stiff is much better than loose and flimsy, we can work with stiff.. I think best to add a little silicone grease (or oil if you don't have) and work it for 5-10mins. It'll get better with use.
Noticed same on mine, oiled it but still requires a bit more force than my other clasps. “Stiff and force” do not go well with a glide lock system.

How is water resistance on this one. Is greasing case back and crown gaskets enough or does the crystal need sealed as well to have confidence around water.
I notice all the dealers claim they dry test them now but curious what additional measures should be taken.

I dont care what anyone else says on here. This VSF Hulk is the best OOTB submariner to hit our rep community in over 10 years. Look at these pictures sooooo good!! I've said it in the past that I've bought pretty much every Noob available and spent 1000s on so called "upgrades" and still not as good as this VSF.
Yes there is room for tiny improvements but even gens are far from perfect. On the wrist this thing looks like a million bucks.
Screw Noob!! They better up their game big big time to improve on this.
Here are some beautiful pictures I took today. I've got plenty of gens as well 116610LN, 116618LN, 116713LN, 228238, 228235 - I'm telling you coming from a owner of many gen Rolex's this is superb and for the price of $400 bucks or so you cant beat it. It actually also keeps better time than many of my gens. Its been running +1 since I got it about 1 month ago.

I just received my VSF Hulk a few days ago and it is very difficult to pull the crown out to the position to set the time. I c can unscrew and wind it, then goto the next position for date, but pulling it out to the last position to set the time I have to somehow pull so hard I feel like I’m going to pull the crown off. This can’t be normal. What is the fix?

oggi ho preso il mio vsf hulk e devo essere stato sfortunato. la lunetta e la corona hanno una finitura davvero pessima, affilata come una lama, che rende l'orologio non indossabile perché la corona fa male. l'azione della lunetta è molto traballante e il glidelock è bloccato. anche il sel è sbagliato, assomiglia di più a quello del Daytona. rispetto al mio Zzf v2 ha un inserto migliore e un cristallo davvero paragonabile al gen che ho montato sullo zzf. Ripeto, probabilmente ho ricevuto un orologio sfortunato e sta già partendo per Johnny Depp sperando di risolvere almeno i (grandi) problemi del traguardo.
today i got my vsf hulk and i must have been unlucky. the bezel and crown have a really bad finish, sharp as a blade, making the watch not wearable because the crown hurts. the action of the bezel is very wobbly and the glidelock is locked. even the sel is wrong, it looks more like that of the Daytona. compared to my Zzf v2s it has a better insert and a crystal really comparable to the gen that I mounted on the zzf. I repeat, I probably received an unlucky specimen and it is already leaving for Johnny Depp hoping to solve at least the (big) problems of the finish.

What’s the serial number start with?
What’s the bracelet clasp code?
Did it come with a warranty card that matches the serial number?
Hard to tell from the pic but can anyone else chime in on the size of the crown guards?

hi, yes I'm sure. purchased from TD and delivered with all the equipment I have come to know. honestly i am disappointed, if i reverse the inserts with my v2s i would get a definitely better watch. let's see if Johnny can recover.
You are so fortunate to have in hands of JD! What are you planning to do?

Sorry but I just have to ask have you used a genuine Rolex before? Just asking because many members on here have never held or operated a genuine Rolex bezel or clasp so they dont know what its meant to feel like in the first place.
I've now played with over 5 examples of the VSF and ALL of them have a great bezel action. There is slight backplay but that is exactly the same as how the genuine should operate. The noise and the rotational feel is very very good. 100x better than Noob and some other makers.
Regarding the glidelock it is not locked. Its just stiff initially until you play with it many times and soak it in some WD40. The genuine glidelock on my 116618LB when I first got it was stiff as anything as well until I started to use it more often.
Not sure what your talking about bezel scallops they are fine.
Here are some pictures of my gen 116618LB next to the VSF Hulk. The crown, the bezel action, the bezel scallops looks damn perfect. The genuine is also sharp and the gen crown is also sharp. Even the cyclops and crystal are very very very good for a straight out of the box rep. This is what I have been going on about all along as a owner of many gens I'm impressed. Pics below.
