I'm no expert on this sub, but I think for the LN the outer is gen (from the viewer's point of view) and on the Hulk is the inner one ( the one from the left of the viewer’s point of view) the reasons why I think that way is because of the shape of the case. To me, the case of the two watches that I believe to be genuine is because they look more refined. Unlike the others are looking boxy. Please correct me if I am wrong, as I am still learning about this model. Thanks

Fun challenge!
gen hulk is on left. Replica on right. The hands are too long for hulk on right.

gen is on left as well for black. Both have the nice spaced Y on officially but the left rehaut engraving looks much better.

for the LN the right one seems to be the gen, the crown guards on the left one seem off from my point of view. Noob here just trowing in my guess. Fun game.

Look at the marker of the serial number. All left is gen the serial number must be this | 7 |. On the rep will be | 7| or sometimes it right in the middle of the number just like ROLEX

Left Gens, right Reps...

Seconds hand finish and lume, minute hand lume, hour hand triangle lume.
Rough rehaut engravings and rehaut ring polish.
Fat CG and Crown.
Minor printings.
Insert distances.
Case finish and dimensions.

Don´t know, its only a noob general impression.
Think that I´m passing too much time viewing subs... muaahahahaHAHAHA...

Left are gens. Dial print is an obvious tell. Gens are always thicker and sharper compared to most reps which are thinner and weaker. The "ROLEX" and "SUBMARINER" is the most obvious.

Both the left ones are gen. Among other things, the LN giveaways are serial number, rehaut engraving, and the Y on OFFICIAL Y. LV giveaway is the depth of dial color (reaches black) and the sunburst rays spread wider.

Those reps look really good though, can't go wrong here.

It pretty obvious the ones on the right are reps. But are the ones on the left the new ZF’s?

Both left LN and LV appear to be gen to me. The rehaut serial numbers are giving it away. But, what if they are all reps?

Left very easy, just by the colors :)

Both left are gen, LV dial colour is a tell, cover the serial numbers on both watches and noone will tell the difference between LN.

Those cyclops look very good, who is the maker?
