Hello my dear repfams,

I have saved up some money to the summer of 2019, for my first rep watch. I like Rolex Submariner, GMT 2 styles and most of all the Patek Nautilus 5711 model.
I would like to get my hands on a high-quality rep that I do not have to mod or fix a lot to get it working properly.
I know that there are no good reps of PN 5711 yet I heard rumors of V6 coming but I do not know when tho. So any suggestions or if you know if there will be better releases until the summer of 2019 let me know.

Thank for your suggestions and for your help in advance!

Sincerely,

-C.d.V

I agree with slashdotcom1 the sub is a classic that will never out of style.

My first was a PAM112. It's a super rep, unique (won't be mistaken for a different brand), and relativily cheap. It's also easy to pick one up off a member her for a good price since they are so common.

So in that case go with a SUB. All time classic! Or in my mind comes PAM682

I am really glad that you guys try to help, It means a lot for me. I took a look at the PAM682 still not my taste because of the big side thing...

If I change my question to what are the best super reps of submarines with black, blue or green dial? Also the classic GMT blue red Rolex style are they good?

Sincerely,

-C.d.V.

Hello dear friend thanks for trying to help me out, any ideas of best Rolex reps with black, blue or green dial? Also how are the GMT with blue red Rolex style reps are they high end? :)

Thanks for understanding me.

Personally I'd take a GMT over a sub. I've had a subc, GMT and 5 digit before and I ended up selling off the subc. Never had any regrets. The GMT has more wrist presence.
Below are my pieces. All three are frankens.

The above being said, I personally suggest you look at other brands as Rolex is most likely to be called out and most known and recognized.

If you need to save up money for summer 2019, you probably shouldn't strap a Patek on your wrist. The GMT 2 style could have an unreliable movement, so you don't want to risk paying for service. Get somewith with an A2824/2836 movement.

May I suggest a classic Submariner, the ARF 2824. Reliable and if you've never handled a high quality watch before it's going to feel amazing.

As the others suggested, if you don't want to mod it the ARF with an ETA clone would be perfect!

Or there's the JF 16610. Older style sub with slimmer lugs.

This got the A2836 movements I want this one really bad what do you think also when we talk about modding do watch repair people do that or we our selves?

Noob Daytona 4130. 60+ hour power reserve. The movement is a peach

My favourite rep right now, barely take it off

Congrats buy I dont like 3 crowns style... I prefer GMT, Subs or Patek 5711 style bcs either slim or well known iconic style of Rolex.
If there was top tier rep of 5711 I would not bother with Rolex... but I think I will go with a GMT pepsi or a normal black dial SUB
