Omagad I would consider to replace the old noob yacht master 116622 grey dial with the new one in NWBIG since it is basically the same watch but with 904l steel and a more reliable movement from vsf would you guys agree ? I can go more in detail when I receive the new one and compare it.

The lack of a free sprung balance will prevent the Omega reps with open case backs from achieving "Super Rep" status.
Omagad Must the clones have the exact dimensions as the Gen, especially thickness to achieve first class status? I have been looking at the VSF PO 600M GMT and the only external flaw I can spot is the thickness at 16.5mm, Gen at 17.25mm.

LIST UPDATE: Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 2019 Real Ceramic Case VSF added to First Class !

RE: Omega Planet Ocean 600m GMT (Black/Orange) VSF 8605
Regarding this model, the only flaws I can see is lack of a free sprung balance and thickness at 16.5mm.
Regarding the engraved bezel markings, I am not sure if the gen markings are flush on the bezel. I have no gen for comparison for this particular model, only videos and photos online. When I inspect these photos & videos, I can observe that shadows form on the bezel markings in certain angles. Regardless, I doubt anyone can spot this supposed flaw in person.
The matter on the case thickness, 17.25mm gen vs 16.5mm rep. I doubt anyone can eyeball measure this difference in thickness even with the gen in hand. IMHO, use of a caliper is required to measure this difference in case thickness. Without it, its imperceptible.
There is also a matter of finishing. Since this is a rep I doubt the level of finish on the indices and hands will have the same level as that on the gen. The rough edges are not apparent without high magnification and a light source to highlight the rough finishing.
Like all Omega reps with open case backs, the existence of a regulating level is an instant tell. However, this requires the removal of the watch from the owner's hand to be apparent. As long as the watch is worn, it's impossible to know the watch is a rep in person.
However, given the flaw in thickness and the visible regulating arm through the caseback, I submit this model cannot be considered super rep because of these flaws. I submit however, that this will pass as a first class rep, just like the other VSF PO's with superclone movements.

I’m surprised the new ZZF subs isn’t on any lists here. There have been detailed comparisons among top factories and they seem to fare pretty well.
There doesnt seem to have much search results on the Tudor BB Red Rose Edition ZF - V4/V5 which is supposed to be not accepted as a Super Rep.
I'm currently looking to get this https://puretimewatch.io/heritage-2...-1-best-edition-on-ss-bracelet-a2824-red.html and was wondering if this can be considered a Super Rep or is it the Red Rose edition. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Yes, I think the "Super Rep" section needs a cleansing. A lot of research is available in each respective brand section, enough to do due diligence. If there isn't enough information available, then the watch should be moved down one section into "First Class", and not kept as a "Super Rep" with a question mark next to it. A lot of users depend on this list now a days and I think we should limit the best of the best, to watches that actually deserve the title.
far away from being a super rep. I really like the watch. But it has a few instant tells when looking at it closely for 3 seconds lol
High beat movement. No lume „ghost“ lines around the numbers. Quite huge pinion hole where the seconds hand is fixed in the middle. The bezel is not made well as the edges of the polished part don‘t align well with the brushed part. The rubber strap is too soft and rough. The gen strap is harder and not so rough feeling.
Too many tells for being a super rep imo.
I would say the VSF Omega Speedmaster Diver 300M is a super rep and has to be added to the list. What do you think?
Since it also has the black balance wheel now and the smaller pearl on the bezel.
Well, both High beat movement and No lume lines around the numbers are impossible to spot with a naked eye, regardless what anyone says, even an expert wouldn't notice. But I agree, I've been considering downgrading it for a while now, because I've refused Super Reps for less than that. So, I'll make a poll and people will decide.
Strap isn't taken into consideration ever, btw.
