The best you can get. Hurry while its still there. http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/last-hyper-franken-breitling-sa-71182p5
I think BMW has a convincing one ... Sorry. Too soon? 
If you want the real thing, you'll have to buy the real thing. But ask yourself what exactly you're looking for, and why. Every rep will have a flaw; while not ideal we have learned to live with it. Not being a 1:1 copy isn't going to matter as long as you're not trying to pass it off as a gen to an AD (or a gen forum).
Short version: if you see a version you like, buy it. Enjoy it. Know that 99.999% of the people who will ever see it won't know the difference, or even care enough to look for flaws.

the noob trap
Watchdave,
This is the trap WE the 'noob' (international speak for dickhead) always fall into. WE the black market consumer want a good copy of a expensive watch and since we are all Walmart minded in our day to day thinking, that spawns the 'who has the best sub cry.
I know nothing about the rep business but being a quiet observer, it seems obvious to me that a 'rep factory' is a clandestine operation located any where a group of people can assemble watches from parts they have procured or had made, then sell through a network of friends and 'markets'. Copies vary from great to crap.
The long winded point being, it ain't who has the best, it's about identifying product that is well done and then knowing the secret handshake name of the watch model to check with our good and connected dealers to see if they got or can get.
Code names like 'noobmariner' or 'milguass' are the speak. The super avenger I just ordered, was the 'V1 HBB' not the 'noobfactory' version. Word on the street they are about the same but price is different. Can you say 'Pineapple Express'?
Sorry, I had to spit this out as it is always on my mind when I read the forms and see the flames. The oldbees get it, ID the product, not the dealer.

Sorry, but isn't Milgauss a Rolex model? At least that's the word that's is on my dial... And HBB - isn't that a Hublot?!
Have I missed something?!

Some of the modders do a good franken... I suspect your post would have attracted quite a number of PMs regarding those frankens

I had the best 1:1 copy of a Breitling. I sold it to BMW760 and he put it on a GEN fourm. Everyone on the GEN fourm thought it was a GEN Breitling until some one alerted the Mods for that fourm and told them otherwise. That is what I call the best REP, one that took someone from this fourm to Alert the mods over on that fourm that BMW posted his rep. The only thing that was "Rep" on that entire watch was the case and no one could tell that it was not GEN. Like I said BMW got in trouble because no matter how close you can't put a Rep on a GEN fourm ever, its the rules. Which brings me to my next point....getting a Franken or a 1:1 Rep copy is only so you can Fool some one. The only person you can fool is yourself. If its a Franken or a dang good rep copy 1:1 Ultimate Grade A++++ whatever....a rep is a rep. I hope that helps in your quest to find a 1:1 and why its not worth it. You should get a very close noob, one that makes you happy and wear it with pride.....cause trying to fool any one will only cause you trouble. And....as the saying goes "People with think your Gen's a Rep before they think your Rep is a GEN, even if they care at all"......now IMHO that was my 2 cents
