Throw a gen crystal with gen gasket and you inch a lil closer to gen than ever before.

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.

Nice pics. Noob Pearl is more pronounced, dial lume surrounds are not as raised or curved. Hands look yellowish and they are flatter, SEL isn’t as recessed & bezel scallops aren’t as tall. You’ve mentioned the crystal mag. It’s a good rep but you could tell which was Gen from your first pic. No identical at all, But close enough.

Ok, I'll spoon-feed you. But you're not going to like the answer... The best sub (arguably) is the TC 16610LN version 7x (with the Pennsylvania gun factory bezel). Some (again, arguably, because you're clearly asking for OPINIONS here) would say that TC'S 16610LV surpasses the LN for overall gen-like quality. Now, as to the reason you won't like this answer... TC no longer makes these jewels, so you'll need to monitor this board very often (constantly might be more like it)... because whenever a TC sub comes up for sale, it's snapped up quickly. Here's a link to a longstanding thread where TC owners show off the goods: Show off your TC Subs...

Except that TC manufactured 16610, not 11610, which are 5 digit subs with aluminium insert. The LV would be the Kermit. The question was about the Hulk which is the ceramic ref 116610LV, a good example of which is the noob v11 on the previous page.

Different watches

No worries. But you're still referring to a different watch ;) the 5 digit Kermit vs.the 6 digit Hulk

Ah, you're correct of course! The headline clearly is what grabbed me, and I erroneously read right past that little four-letter word "hulk." Oh well.

Ahah and now to make things even more confusing we have the Cermit! (Though not repped yet ;) )
