Can I get an expert eye on this hulk?
Thinking about picking up a second hand hulk but I want to make sure it's not a fake. Can get your opinions on this piece?

Something looks off. I am no expert but I own one and the marker at 12 looks different than mine.

I'm still new to this, but as someone who was burned by a "replica," I wouldn't go by photos alone if it's not from a trusted seller here. I brought my "Sub" into an AD and they even wrote up an insurance appraisal for me, and for two years I paid to insure it for $8200 in value. It wasn't until the date stopped working and they popped the back off to fix it that they realized it was a fake. Be careful.

No expert here, but I'm certain that's fake.

I don't think an expert would be necessary with this one, it's pretty bad.

They couldn't hurt. ;)

I'm new to the Rolex scene so I'm not buying anything without getting second and third opinions.

I haven't even seen a Hulk in person, but just from looking at them in photos, I can tell the shade of green alone is totally off. Not to mention the rest.

Yep, fakes are better and better in models where movement is not visible. Really not cool experience

No, not a cool experience at all. One I'll never forget. Felt sick to my stomach the rest of the day.
