"Super-rep" for less popular brands

I understand a super-rep is a close 1:1 appearance and functionality of a rep to a gen.

The question I guess is, outside of Panerai, Hublot and the Bell & Ross 03-88, are there other brands like IWC, Breitling etc which have models that can boast the same likeness to their originals.

I was quite interested in a IWC Top Gun V2 but for the price (700+) there are too many flaws that would justify the price.

Any help would be appreciated. :)

Um....you can get the TG V2 for $300+ iirc. 700+ is for "swiss" movement.....

IWC 3717
Tag Carrera Racing
Lots of Other Tags (Link Chrono, etc etc)
Omega 5th gen PO
TC Rolex Sub
A good few Breitlings (BCE etc etc)
AP Diver V3
Ebel Discovery Chrono
JLC Navy seals Diver

There may not all be super super reps but each one will take a person very very familiar with the brand and the watch to even suspect it's a rep.
Things are really good these days with the choice of 95%+ reps.

Ebel discovery is another one, almost impossible to come by now tho. It's almost perfect in fact, it's mostly gen.

Thank you for the replies, I'll try to do some reading on the suggestions given!

I actually registered two years ago, bought two reps but was slightly turned off as one rep arrived with the hour hand not attached properly. :D

Anyways it seems so much has changed in this time.
