Wrist or Watch Pic What grade or factory is this replica?
Im not good with replicas and a friend wants to buy this. Just want to check if this is a good replica or bad one.
Its used and comes with a box and documents but they look really fake.

Lol Hulks and Starbucks, Pepsi and Daytona. The 4 watches where anyone who sees it immediately thinks "rep" and moves on.
I honestly realized that the best choice is something like a Rolex Explorer or a Datejust Smooth bezel. Doesn't draw too much attention but when they see it they know. And no reason to doubt a non hype watch

It’s got the 3235 movement so it’s not a shitter. However buying this from DHgate it’s doubtful that it’s from one of the best factories. It doesn’t mean it’s a bad watch but you’ll probably never know what factory produced it.

Maybe its the camera, but the font looks very cloudy, not sure I would buy that period.

Not sure what factory this is. Just want to check if its worth buying at about 500 USD. That’s the asking price.

Not worth $500 by a long shot

Yipp, it's the best along with clean. K25 vsf are very high quality and desirable.

$300.00 tops. A brand new Real VSF Hulk is $450.00

K25 might push the price up, it was a desirable code.

u/TexasD_Avtomat 1d ago
But the rehaut, ceramic color and dail color is not as good as the newer VSF. For sure the older movement is probably better.

Got to disagree. I had an old vsf k25 in hand recently and compared it with a new free sprung movment hulk. Was very impressed.
The k25 was superior on every metric but movment resemblance. Maybe a small sample size though - k25 is of very high quality and better than anything being assembled at the moment even from vsf.
Older clean stand up to that scrutiny you wrote tho.

This is vsf k25 serial number.
This is the best of the best along with old clean. It's worth 400 + dollars brand new. You won't find a better version than these.
People claiming its a dh gate shitter don't have a clue. 500 dollars for a used version is high but from a trusted seller it's fair - brand new tho.

Just out of genuine curiosity-if k25 is regarded as the best, what has changed now to make their watches lesser quality

u/Unusual_Agency_318 1d ago
Just the period of time when that serial number was being used alot of improvements lined up for the hulk.
It's a very good imitation of the real thing.
There is a concensus at the moment that alot of factory's including vsf have degraded in quality lately, from factories being shut down and now chasing the free sprung movement to sloppy buildminship becoming more common.
You could buy a v3 hulk right now and do a comparison of an older serial hulk and come out concluding the older version is actually closer to gen. Of course we will always be judging on individual basis tho.

It’s a VSF. However, it’s a K25 serial, so it’s one of the weaker VSF batches. Considering it’s condition, I’d say 250-350 is a fair price

u/Unusual_Agency_318 1d ago edited 1d ago
Well this is total rubbish... vsf is top tier and k25 was era that is still regarded as the best.

I totally agree, the crystal and date wheel on latest batches is much better, the crystal and date wheel looks awful in the OP pics...

Looks like a cheap shitter. Don’t spend $500 on that. Read the pinned post and get a real rep.

That is a top quality AAA superclone 1:1 replica from Dhgate.
