Hello guys, I'm new here. I have various gen references but I have just got my first rep, a great PP Nautilus 5711 v6 from MK, and I love it mostly because I can wear it without fear.
Looking at this world, I studied this wonderful forum and I have compiled a personal list of favorite reps in order of interest. There are some Super Reps and some other great reps. What do you think about? And what would you add or suggest?
  • Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167A ZF
  • Royal Oak 15400 black JF V5 MY9015 Mod 3120
  • Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 white MK V5/6
  • Rolex Daytona 116500 (Asia 4130 Mod) white noob v3
  • (superrep) Audemars Piguet ROO Diver JF V9.5
  • (superrep) Patek Philippe Calatrava 5296R RG/LE by ZF with MY9015 Mod
  • Rolex Yacht-Master Rhodium/Blue Noob 904L Steel SA3135
  • (superrep) Cartier Santos XL V6F
  • (superrep) Rolex Sub 16610 TC
  • (superrep) IWC 3878 Spitfire V6F

Nice list.
I love my TC 16610LV v7 and wear it often. But after comparing it to my brother's gen, I wouldn't call it a "super rep". With some modding/franken...maybe it can be. Ehh, I am being nitpicky. BTW, there is a more extensive Not Worth Buying In Gen list. You should check it out.

Thanks for your help! I was considering the 16610LN TC to use it instead of my gen 116610LN, but your comment is really appreciated. I’d buy some perfect reps to use them instead of my other watches.
I was thinking about those things as first choice, even because I’m really happy with my 5711 v6 (pics below)

Wonderful! After a long reflection I’ll add to my collection a Patek Aquanaut 5167a from ZF and a AP OffShore 25940 rubber clad. I’d love a classic Royal Oak too, but I don’t love the 15400 and actual 15202 (by JF and XF) is not what is expected to be. I’ll wait ZF in January or February.
What do you think about?

Thanks a lot. I bought the AP rubber clad and the AP ZF 15400 black dial. I love Rolex too but I have some gen Rolex and I had pratically every professional Rolex watches. I know them too well and I couldn’t buy a rep in that case.

I am assuming your brothers watch is at least 10-17 years old, so we can compare with a TC classic submariner replica?

I am a big fan of TC ...but it must have KH dial and latest hands.

I would say that TC looks and feels more gen than most 10-17 year old gens from that era...with rattley hollow link bracelets and UV faded dials and inserts. most of which look like crap in 2019...Of course you can’t compare a classic submariner with a modern Gen submariner.

China factories to this day can’t make a dial like TC KH IMO.

Yeah, rep are very close mostly when watch (especially Rolex) is without data. There are some things that rep can’t still achieve (imho): Rolex cyclope, AP thickness and PP dial shades.

Yeah, date change is still not copied in PP and AP reps too. This because they use a modified miyota 9015 that allows to maintain a small thickness imho. I know about "frankens" with gen parts, but honestly I do not agree cause I buy reps to save money and to walk serenely without fear. I spend money on gen watches and I wear them on occasions :)
