Ok my two VSF Hulk’s just came in. First thing I checked was how it generally felt handling it in my hands (the 904 steel is very noticeable) and the second thing was the rehaut engraving. One watch the engravings were pretty off (despite what QC showed), this one attached below is spectacular. Depending on the photo angle the minute markers can look off center from the rehaut letters but rest assured they line up really well.
Overall a pretty convincing watch. Crystal and date still not up to par next to my gens (I’ve got my 116618 and 16710 as reference) but for $500 this is a cracking watch and knocks the old Noobs and TC DWO out of the park. Most obvious flaw in my eyes is that fat Mercedes hour hand.
For the guys who have never held the gen or have had little exposure to one this will feel like the real deal. If you know your Rolex’s you’ll definitely notice somethings not quite right when your wearing it, but seeing it in passing you wouldn’t know better.
My 2 cents, nonetheless very happy with what I got for the price.
Note: Photo angles may create illusion that minute markers aren’t lining up with rehaut engravings but rest assured they line up very well.
