Hi, I am new to the forum. Just curious, what is the difference between 5296R and 5296G that makes 5296R on the super rep list but not 5296G?

Hello, and welcome! The actual rose gold color of the 5296R is very accurate of the genuine rose gold color. Whereas the 5296G is a bit less accurate in terms of the “gold” color. I believe the gold color is too yellow. If I recall correctly the 5296R was a lot more commonly made in production where PP didn’t make as many of the 5296G’s.
The 5296R is a great rep, but most people tend to get a better strap than the one that comes with it. Rep bands are typically not of great quality. Some people will buy Camille Fournet straps, who actually commission their bands for PP, VC and a few other brands to speak to their quality. A few pictures of my 5296R with a grey strap. The size of the strap you’ll want is 21/16 if you do order one. Hope this helps

Is it me or the 2, 4, 8, 10 markers seems a tiny bit off. 2 and 8 point slightly above the center, while 4 and 10 point a bit below the center? Could also be the angle of the picture.

Silenced rotor and gen PP leather, can't get any better With this watch (just like with all reps), if you have a lifestyle and dress sense to supplement it, nobody will call you out.

Looks like ZF just dropped a new Calatrava (5153G)

The rep does look very substandard compared to what ZF seems to make.
Text is not centred vertically where it should be, and its so unpleasant that it is an obvious tell. The gen has an amazing finish and it does not seem a part of this finish has been replicated in this rep. NWB in rep for me for sure.

The straps that come with these watches are terrible. You can buy a CF straps quite cheap and they are miles better.

Finally a good PP deployant buckle, if it is 16mm I am definitely ordering some to use on my 5296 and 5227.

I'm so confused between the 5296R and G, the R shows it being 2 different watches, both on TD sites as well as even PP site. So which is which? Both the OP pic and this one are often referenced.Hello, and welcome! The actual rose gold color of the 5296R is very accurate of the genuine rose gold color.

R is Rose gold, G is white gold, both the 5296R and 5296G exist with a classic dial and a sector dial.

Ah 2 versions of same watch thanks! Are both sector and classic R superclones?

Oh weird, a quick Google search brings up dozens of results. Some people sure think they exist.
Link removed / scam

Some people either don't know what they're talking about - you seem to be one of them - or are selling reps using marketing bullshit terms, some of these websites being scammers. This website you quoted here is not a trusted dealer here by the way.
I suggest that you do a little bit of reading to better understand the world of reps and how this forum works.
So no, there is no such thing as a super clone
I couldn't care less what you think as I have no skin in the game, not selling anything and just made my first purchase recently, three watches and one is a super rep... and I'm so so sorry if I called it a clone rather than a rep, what was I thinking, so happy you could put me in my place....but I've been reading about this stuff for a couple years now so I guess I know a little bit. Anyways I do have a degree, a minor in English and if it's a matter of semantics so you know the term does exist. So your claim that it doesn't is patently false. Anyways you seem to be an expert and really want to show it so I'm sure you make a great contribution on this site especially with your attitude... anyways all the best to you captain!

I don't think you're understanding my point. It's not about being right, it's about preventing the spread of misinformation and avoiding newbies that may read you to think that there are "super clones" and buy from risky websites. That term is never used here so what we see is that people who use it do not have the understanding of how things work. When I highlighted that to you, instead of trying to understand and do your research here, you tried to be a smart ass by using a google query and sharing a link to a potentially dodgy website, which again is potentially misleading and dangerous for people who don't have the experience.
Now there are watches considered not worth buying in Gen (NWBIG) as well as a few considered officially super reps. There's a thread that lists them, none of the PP you mentioned are super reps.
Now maybe you could reconsider your attitude
