mule play Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Team, I ordered a new LV Hulk from Andrew at ttw8488.com and I would like your insight as to what to look for in the QC photos. Any known problems with this model? Specifically, I ordered the top of the line model with the SA 3135 movement. Drop a reply and let me know please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nikita75015 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Andrew is not a good guy, he try to fool me on a two tone rolex, i paid for wrapped gold noob 588$, and on qc pics it was old 258$ plated gold model! He is not recommandable for me! Plus, sa3135 is pure [censored], your power reserve will be [censored] and your stem will break very easily and impossible to get an other Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mule play Posted May 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 So you think Andrew is a dishonest dealer and the SA3135 is junk...? My experience with Andrew has been great over the years with thousands spent. Always been very knowledgeable and helpful getting replacement rep parts too. In fact, he sent me an extra Hublot once for a mistake made in shipping. Sorry to hear that you had trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themannier Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I never had a problem with Andrew since i am in the rep game The fact that the sa3135 is not a good option is real, better go for an asian eta ! 1 hour ago, mule play said: Team, I ordered a new LV Hulk from Andrew at ttw8488.com and I would like your insight as to what to look for in the QC photos.

The SA3135 is not very reliable from what i read here and there...Can you change for an asian ETA ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mule play Posted May 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Yes, I think I can change the order. The QC photos have not arrived yet. Yes, I think I can change the order.

themannier Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 OK ! So if you are not so interested to install a yuki 3135 or gen parts like dial later, change for an asian ETA, you won't regret it ! The V6s HULK from Noob is a great watch, but be careful when you check the QC, i know that sometimes you can have a v5 bracelet with the wrong end link (longer between the lugs !) You will have to look at the bezel also and to check if the pearl is the last version, thinner than the old one if i remember well. That's all i think 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hologramet Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Be careful with the Hulk. There is the first version with "correct" green bezel insert. Then the second with one that is bad. And now they're sending out about 50/50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mule play Posted May 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 My QC pictures came in and this is the most close up shot i have to decide. Thoughts please...keep or send back to inventory. I have a few of my own already, but do not want to bias the knowledgeable gents in the room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mule play Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 anyone else? i asked for close up shots of the triangle, pearl, 10 and 40 as well as the date wheel. i thought it looked a bit left justified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSteel, what are the quick tells on the old stock? Do you see any of these tells in my photo above? I am still waiting for the detailed set of close up photos.

SSTEEL Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 From what I have seen, there are two different bezel inserts being called V6S, the earlier one is the more correct green colour, her latter not so good, but not bad in all honesty.

In short, most often TDs don't see the differences. So it ain't their fault, but they must put pressure on the factory. I've written quite a lot about how to spot a V6s-bracelet from a frontal pic (alone) in a thread about a Smurf from intime.co The bezel and pearl is tricky as it requires super close -ups and good photo with multiple angles + color references. The dials etc dont matter in NY book as I see a professionally relumed BP-dial (approx 150 USD incl labor) as the "only" option next to genuine. End of mini-rant. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

508-Fanatic Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Here's my genuine for comparison sake 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mule play Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 It's here...and looks great. The green bezel is exactly the same as 508's photo. I'm just so impressed. Period. Andrew from Trusty (ttw8488.com) was most helpful in making sure it was a true v6s model. No mixed v5/v6 business...! He is fine TD in every way based on my experience. Shipping was incredibly fast....3 days via dhl. Talk about service...! Took the wrapping off, removed -2 links, gave it a light wash and put it to use. Enjoy the photos.

SSTEEL Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Looks great, and the 7th is centred in the date window, so its either a different watch from your QC or the dates become left justified when they get up to the double figures, best to check? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great catch, SSTEEL...I rejected the earlier QC and approved a new, 2nd model. In short, I received a new piece from the stock. All dates look good in the window. The double digits, of course, take up a bit more room in the cyclops! You know, I may order a second one for reserve since these are so damn good! Here is a morning shot.
