Submariner Hulk 116610LV Replica: Clean vs VS – Susan Reviews on Replica Watches

For Submariner enthusiasts, whether discussing the black 116610LN or green 116610LV model, one perennial debate persists: which factory produces the superior replica? Five years ago, Noob would have been the unanimous choice, but with its closure, attention has shifted to Clean and VS factories. This detailed comparison examines their 40mm Submariner replicas, revealing subtle yet fascinating differences while maintaining that both produce exceptional timepieces.

All comparison photos were taken under identical lighting conditions. The left watch (marked “3135” and “CLEAN”) represents Clean factory, while the right comes from VS. Initial inspection shows both use genuine 904L stainless steel with identical case dimensions and superb finishing. However, visual differences emerge upon closer examination.

The crown profiles differ noticeably – Clean’s appears slimmer while VS’s looks more substantial. Bezel teeth vary in size, shape, and depth, with VS’s appearing more pronounced. Color variations exist in the green bezel (Clean’s appears brighter) and dial (VS displays a deeper hue). Bracelet construction shows minor differences in end-link curvature and clasp engravings (Clean: “5HF”, VS: “7GJ”).

Both house Dandong 3135 movements with similar decoration, though VS includes an additional “027288F5ROLEX” engraving. This comprehensive analysis allows readers to evaluate which replica might better suit their preferences while acknowledging both factories’ impressive craftsmanship.
