First of all, hello to everyone. I'm new on forum and relatively new in the world of replicas, but not in the world of watches. I'm a passionate watch lover, I follow everything that's happening, the latest news on the market, and I'm generally well-informed and quite knowledgeable about the subject. I own or have owned a number of original watches from the high segment, such as Omega, Tudor, Breitling, TAG, Oris, Longines, etc. However, when it comes to replicas, I can't say that I'm a top expert on the subject, but in general I like to do a lot of research on my own. However, when it comes to replicas, I still need some direction.
Why did I decide to enter the world of replicas? Because I no longer want to wait on the "phantom waiting lists" related to Rolex (and recently even Tudor), nor to pay high commissions to gray sellers who are selling the same watches at considerably higher prices.
About a year ago, I decided to buy my first rep - Rolex GMT Master Pepsi Clean V3, and I still have that watch, although I am less and less impressed with it. Simply, every passionate watch lover is immediately clear in the obvious details at first glance, that it is not an original. Recently, I had the opportunity to see the same watch model from a much less hyped factory ARF, which looks far more serious and credible than Clean, even though Clean Pepsi is hailed as the best GMT Master replica on the market. That's exactly what prompted me to write this post as my first post on the forum.
Question for the Community - Which 5 rep´s do you think are currently the best on the market? It means in the original stock condition without any modifications, which is the best and most authentic copy of the original, without immediately being able to identify it as a replica after a few seconds. I know that the topic is very wide and that opinions differ from individual to individual, but I would still like to see the opinion of the forum community on this topic.
So far, it is clear to me that the VSF Submariner No Date absolutely belongs to that group of best replicas, and one of the first 5 places should be reserved for that model, and I have already ordered it as my next replica.
Well, I think that's enough for the first post, and I hope that experienced experts on the replica market can answer it well.
