Best replica that can pass an auth test?

[Acaicia]

Hey everyone!

What is the best replica watch (from any TWD) that could pass a relatively thorough authenticity check? When I say that, I know that no replica is absolutely perfect and most are easily spotted from an arm's length away. All I'm looking for is the best the replica world has to offer. At the moment, I'm considering the ZF Pilot IW388002 and the ZF Big Pilot IW500431 from Asian7750, both of which look amazing from the pictures and I don't notice any flaws. I'm not considering a V9 submariner simply because it's a well-known watch that has several telltale signs that most watch dealers can spot.

Don't ask me why I'm asking this. Shh...

Cheers!

none, except a super franken vintage maybe
An authorized dealer will find out, do not forget serial numbers and movement

What’s the difference between a franken vintage and a “super” franken vintage?

Why bother? Unless you have something to hide?

Probably a PAM super rep with gen movement...

back in the old days (TRC days), legend has it that cartier watch that was assembled in hongkong met their order quantities and there were some extra pieces laying around in the factory.
Instead of destroying the leftover (common practice in contract manufacturing), the watches were sold thru back door. This is a complete watch but without hands and strap... and probably serial number too.
This would be your ultimate rep.

I think most reps in the NWBIG range can pass. A watch dealer friend handled my ARF sub and wouldn't have noticed unless I told him so. If it's based just on Inspection and not a gen on the side or close Inspection of details like the feel of the winding, serials, ets. 99% of people won't notice. So just buy any NWBIG. I usually take him reps so that he has knowledge and they don't scam him by selling him a high end NWBIG.

99.99% won't notice a good rep even upon inspection

99%+ won't notice a bad rep at a glance

Most won't even notice a bad rep upon inspection because they don't know anything about watches.

I think they only people that are really anal about reps are us.

I agree, most people don't even wear watches anymore. I'm pleasantly amazed at the level of detail some people are looking at on RWS. I've read 70% of The Swiss watches out there are fake, after review here, I believe it. I would also never buy a high dollar gen online, even from a well advertised dealer.

Ah the fabled gen/rep Cartier. Around 1500 bucks bought you one the last time they were available (five or six years back IIRC) and I have no reason to suspect they were anything but a backdoor gen. The MVT was 100% a gen without a doubt so it was the deal of the century.

How about you just don’t worry so much about this and look at the many great reps that are available that will probably fool most people— there are at least a couple in each of the top 5 brands (Rolex, Panerai, IWC, Breitling, Omega)..

 

[Automotiveromance]

Specify ‘the majority of authenticity tests’ though. If it’s someone who knows the gens well and they look at the movement, no out of the box rep will pass. Any proper authenticity check will entail opening up the watch and verifying what’s what.

Sounds to me like someone’s trying to sell reps as gens...

 

[Hinclimincli]

Do you want a nice box, warranty card and papers too, by any chance?
