Well it is about time I updated the information that I had originally put together and put out to all members to feed back to me why they think a certain model watch should be included in the list. Please also include the Factory that produces that medal, as new one's have come along and how their watches compare to other Factories. I will go by the weight of information fed back to me in order to update the list and republish a new one.

I will let this run till the end of March 2021 to give people enough time to feed back their opinions based on .............

Make good use of the Covid Lockdown and stay safe.

VSF = OUTSTANDING 116610LN and 116610LV
XF = 15202 (rework on lumen often needed)
ZF = 15202 (rework on hands needed)
PPF = 5711
N00b = 116500 and 116519 (change of gasket needed)
3Kf = 5167 (but strap is junk)

Hope this is the information needed

Just wondering why "VS Factory" is on that list with five PAMs only? :confused:

If you can input why you think others should be added, it will also be considered.

Definitely subscribing to this!!

The original was a very informative read, coupled with several of the other stickies.

My apologies I dont have much to contribute, yet, my first TD order in progress, same for an impulse M2M purchase, but I will have more to offer as the months / years follow.

Thanks again to beau7816 and the contributors & look forward to seeing the outcome / results.

Please state why you put these watches forward for consideration.

Regarding the Submariners: there's not even a debate if they're the best reps ever made. See below 116610 gen/rep comparison by StreetFighter and my reviews. The Datejust II is also better OOTB than the previous NWBIG champion ARF.

The Omegas are just brilliant and on the NWBIG list for a reason. I did reviews on both the AT and SMP to show the quality level VSF has reached.

Don't we already have a best rep thread / the consensual one?

Why the duplication of content and effort?

beau7816 put together a very informative list of most of the factories and what they are best at. the list was a few years old and he needs input from us to update that thread. I think we owe him a huge thanks for doing this for us and all the newbies.

Echo this.

I used both this list in conjunction with the NWBIG/Consensual list when making my choices.

I had an idea what I wanted, but the original of this list seemed to go one step further, down to a factory level versus the watch/model/version shown in the Consensual one.

The lists are a culmination of what I can only imagine are days, if not weeks, of collating various threads and opinions/reviews, so I want to say thanks to both authors for making my decision- making all the easier, hats off to you both, and the wider community for the source data.

Both lists should be required reading for newbies as I imagine it'd answer alot of new questions, so am very excited to see what the updates are for 2021.

Thanks guys, anyone else can contribute to this thread as to why a particular watch should be considered for the updated thread.

PAM416 - really tidy watch, even the Beverly Hills engraving on the back is tidy and hard to distinguish without using a loupe or similar
