Thanks for the information.
I want to take you guys little advice, if you want to start selling, you should have a good email system for emailing with your partner.

Hahaha, the AAA+ applies to the 1:1 tags too. As you stated in the thread no way in hell does a $200 replica come close to a $2,000 watch.

Look at some of the Sales listing where it is listed as Super Franken where no real justification can be credited to the seller when all they have done is replace Gen Gaskets (really?) , case cleaned,
and replaced date magnification. It should be listed as modded.

It would be really interesting to define the difference between : Super Franken, Franken, Modded, replica.
It is always kind of misleading the use of one of these terms. In my humble opinion a super franken has to have original movement or relevant number of parts

#11. Yes! No reps are 1:1

Not even gens are 1:1 with the computer renders gen manufacturers use as marketing on their site. RWI Consensual Super Rep List does a good job listing the reps closest to 1:1. If closeness to gen is your top criteria take a look at the Super Rep list and find a watch you like from that, or if you do want the DD in your OP you are unlikely to find it on that list, not many Rolex make it on. Have a look around for the rep of it that looks best to you and decide if it’s good enough for you.
