I think you can use this thread https://forum.replica-watch.info/threads/best-rep-reviews-database.368698/ whenever someone quotes something to learn more about the piece. I go to this pretty much everytime.

https://forum.replica-watch.info/threads/honest-review-seamaster-300-spectre.365815/

He didn't touch on somethings like bezel action among others that I feel make this watch not worth first class rep status.

https://forum.replica-watch.info/threads/seamaster-300-spectre-spc300.281465/ too

Yeah, I use the reviews database but it's incomplete and sometimes lacks of updates.

I think V2 diservers FIRST CLASS. Don't you think ?

V7 uses a2824 which means you can easily modify it to a low beat movement which matches the gen. It also has a closed caseback. V8 I believe is open caseback and the decorative plate over the crappy miyota won't fool anyone I'm afraid.

Yeah, that's what I heard.

"Dial flawlessly printed, date well centered, case color and brush, crystal with no reflexions, rubber bracelet like gen, clasp works well. Smooth bezel and crown. Lume is even and bright. Overall weight and balance like gen."
"I have a couple of gens and it could be mistaken for one."

Alright, say welcome in the list.

Added to "Under discussion" because :

-Engraving of bezel not deep enough

-Engraving of 45 on Bezel to close to crystal compared to 15 and 30.

Superocean II Noob Black gone from PROBABLY to SUPER REP. The flaws are definitely too subtle.

Steelfish too. Seawolf I think not. What's your opinion ?

The Seawolf is also a super rep IMHO, you can see a gen v rep comparison here https://rwg.cc/topic/90689-yellow-avenger-seawolf/ (dated 2009, a V2 version has been introduced since by HF - bezel and dial color has been improved) and a description of some flaws here https://rwg.cc/topic/160766-breitling-yellow-seawolf-avenger-wpanatime-strap-pics/

As you can see, there are very little flaws and differences between the rep and gen. I am sure other members will concur with me...

I think the bezel numbers issue is too important. What you think ? Added to "Under discussion" until we figure it out.

I love my steelfishes (have 2, and 2 more are incoming), but I would put it as a borderline super/first class. The square seconds hand, while accurate to the first batch? of gen production, was phased out so long ago that it's basically a tell at this point. When they get serviced, they get the arrow hand.

Fantastic rep no doubt, but the square kind of kills it.

Can you specify please ? I'm not sure I get what you mean.

Look at the second hands here:

What about them ?

I'm sorry, my english is good but I'm not a native speaker. I'm not sure what you meant by : "The square seconds hand, while accurate to the first batch? of gen production, was phased out so long ago that it's basically a tell at this point. "

No problem. The h factory SteelFish has a seconds hand that has a square shape at the end of it. This square shape is correct to the first batch of 44mm SteelFish that came out. The original SteelFish was 42mm and has the square shape. Later 44mm SteelFish had a seconds hand that had an arrow shape at the end of it. The problem is the square shape only existed for 1 year out of the 8 or so that the SteelFish was produced. And gen owners that sent it in for service received SteelFish back with an arrow shape (I believe I read that somewhere). So the amount of 44mm SteelFish in the world with the square seconds hand shape is so few it is basically a tell.

Oh, okay, I see what you mean. This is technically not a tell right ? I mean... if it was supposed to be an original shape gen, would be a Super Rep ?

Because at this moment, you can't wear any watch too expensive for you because... it's a tell. And you can't wear any limited edition watch because it's a tell, etc.

See what I mean ? Do you think it has some flaws beside it ?

Thanks.

That's why I said I thought it should be considered on the edge between super/first class. It's a fantastic rep that is technically correct, but as the threads mentioned, the square hands is basically a tell.

The NSD is an amazing rep. I hated selling mine I just never wore it. Like with the bpff and many others the first batch of these were the best.
