What is the hands down best hulk submariner out there? I was thinking of getting the noob factory v11 but is there anything that is better? Something that no one even a jeweler would be able to tell the difference

Not concerned about price just what’s the BEST

I purchased the HULK noob v11 and it its amazing. When I compared it with my brother's original the only difference I was able to find is the magnification of the date. The color of dial and bezel is awesome. I am extremely happy with it.

I have attached a link to my noob v11.

Dude, come on!!!! If you've got access to a Gen and the new Noob, we really, REALLY need some side by side pics in natural light, different angles etc. Please!

I just got my brother’s original hulk.
Can you guess which one is the v11 and which one is the original?

I will post better pictures in a couple of hours.

I was threatened with getting banned so I’m trying to see how long that will take

Probably faster than finding R-Factory V3, they all went sold out now.

BTW your brother may not be very happy that his gen rolex's serial number is visible on a rep forum, you may want to hide it

Good man for posting pics!!!! I'd also say Gen right, though I'm not good enough to know for sure.

I can't wait for more daylight pics! Thanks!

Hello everyone.

Bellow you will find comparison pictures for Noob v11 vs original hulk.
The original is the one with timing 12 past.
I personally love the noob v11 it’s very very similar to the original. The only difference I can see is the magnification of the date. Everything else in terms of text on the dial, color and the bezel is the same as the original watch.

If you want me to take any other pictures or have any questions please feel free to ask.

Enjoy the pictures

Buy a San Martin V3? You might actually be happier after a while.

Looks like this thread is getting into the right direction. Thanks for the comparison pictures!
I personally do not understand why other members are bashing always on these threads, even when the author gets into the discussion and explains himself.
I am currently investigating which 116610 LVs I should chose and even after reading through the specific 60+ pages threads, I am not really more clever than before. ZZF v3, ZF, VSF, RXF and now Noob v11. All seem very good. E.g. with ZZF v3 it's not only the watch itself but also to buy from which TD. I mean, is JTime really the only one who has it? Sead tells me that the bracelet is still the same as v2 after speaking with the factory... And now the topic with the 904l steel. But let's hope that Puretime is posting the final review soon...

Awesome, thanks Markaplan! I agree with the Cyclops's mag point. That aside, the sunburst on the Noob dial is more pronounced, but looks better to me than previous attempts. The Noob hands also look a bit flat and there's a slight difference in bezel colour, but it looks like a pretty good attempt!

Always welcome GingerBubba.

I am not sure what you see in pictures. But trust me in real life both noob v11 and the GEN look identical. The only difference my eyes can see is the magnification of the date. This is my 4th replica watch and it is by far the best.
