It seems like all the links I find through my research goes to a site that has been taking down due to Chanel suing them lol so I decided to ask the experts. What is the best 1:1 Rolex Rep I can find with no mods besides the grape perpetual? I would prefer a grey or blue oyster perpetual, or navy dayjust.

The gray rhodium Oyster perpetual is as good as the grape.

Why does Chanel even chase replica watches. no-one cares about the Chanel watches :facepalm:

OP, Noob Yahtmaster is good out of the box, check the stickied thread about it.

The ARF SD43 is looking to be a great out of box rep..

i wish they they would produce a nice 41mm DJ 126334!!

So, having said that, I am about to order the Noob a3235 126300 DJ41 Blue/Stick...Is that not the best rep version of that particular model? My research indicated that it like is the best at this time. Someone please let me know if there is a better rep of that watch before I pull the trigger. Thanks!

I can attest to this.

ARF + Gen DW and a few other goodies.

MY vote goes to a watch that seems to have been forgotten about on this forum ...Explorer 1 214270 JF v2 .

I own both red grape / grey perpetual v2's and the Arf DJ , all are top reps . For me the 214270 looks the most gen on wrist .

Actually... the blue dial is the worst of the models (except of black railroad and smooth bezel mop / these even dont exist as gens). Your reseach should make you compare the noob blue with gen and arf. Noob is totally off. Same as with the JF 114300 they all seem to have used their old barrels full of yachtmaster paint. Blue is really the worst choice. ARF did a great blue. If you want it 41 noob, the silver and rhodium are spot on.

hi Ipl, nice watch. I’m absolutely in love. ESP the blue dial!

may I ask where did you source the gen dial? Which movement you chose in order to make the datewheel fit well? Many thanks.

No no.. he said Gen DW (date wheel) not Gen dial. So my understanding is that the watch is near perfect and all you need to do is to get a gen date wheel and install it. I would assume that this would be a straight swap!! Again just what I understand from reading it. I would be wrong.

Thanks god and Ipl. I have got Ipl advice via pm.

Yes the dial is rep but the DW is gen.

Btw, check toro website. The dial colour blue is too bright. Ipl photo looks much better.

Would you be able to recommend a DW that looks better than the ARF one that is not as expensive as a Gen? Noob is supposedly a better looking DW, but can it be changed into an ARF DJ? Thanks.
