Such a blanket statement, surely requires some form of qualification? Could you give examples of what watches don't deserve to be.

You are hilarious, not going to name any in your infinite wisdom that don’t measure up? Many have spent a lot of time compiling this list so show some respect.

My two pence's worth on these Super Reps ... we bought one of them recently, the V6F Cartier Ballon Bleu.
Whilst it all looks really great and got lots of independent thumbs up on QC help post via another forum, I was slightly surprised to see when removing links to resize the bracelet that the screws/pins were so so so (and several more 'so's) poor quality that it begged the question on the quality of everything else used in the watch.
My day job involves very delicate and detailed work, so I am confident I removed the screws as carefully as anyone would but even as they came out, some of them were already slightly bent, others had the top 1/10th of screw fall out of the rest of the pin and so on. Of course, they are only bracelet screws and can easily be replaced for a few pennies. But my point is exactly that ... if such poor materials are being used for such simple and cheap parts, how can we give any credibility to the rest of the watch.
All these comments I see about how only the experienced eye could identify some reps and then only by removing the back of the case ... or could they just remove a link and see that the screw was made out of used toilet brush bristles?

That is really strange. Didn't hear about this issue before. Did you talk about it in the Cartier section?
As a newcomer here I am looking forward to your list, or ar least to your debunking rhe super rep status of some of these.
If that will not be forthcoming I will continue to gratefully consult Omagad's work to help guide future purchases

Lets start with the JF v9.5, since I think its obvious it can be spotted fairly quickly. The scorecard for each watch on here seems to have different criteria, doesn't make sense when you're categorizing them in the same list. You can't say "naked eye" when yes the naked eye CAN spot those defects, if we're saying "talking distance" then even $100 cheapies from China town can be ranked as super reps.
Definitely appreciated what Omgad has put together because its a great starting point for new comers. But I don't think I'd be wrong saying the most veterans on this forum do their own scrutinized research.
And to those complaining I'm not helping them vet reps they're thinking of buying and that rely on this list, stop being lazy, buy supporter, and use the "VIP Rep Review Data Base" to do your own analysis. This is a great starting point, but after owning 3 "super reps" on this list, I've decided I'm not going to blindly follow when I wouldn't call them super reps myself. In fact if I see anyone that knows a thing about watches I roll down my sleeves when I have them on.

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.

Not IMO. The hands base is one big tell

You are a joke, it’s one watch you are having a tantrum about being on the list and you link the references of OP stating a rethink which is the whole point of this thread...feedback. What you think OP buys every single watch and reviews them:woo:
You say the whole list is wrong, again please enlighten us with you vast knowledge, just make it more meaningful than your last moronic post.
