best no date replicas with no ghost date position

[mrkawasaki]

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a nice no date replica. I came across the ZF Black Bay 58, which looks awesome and is of high quality. However, it has a ghost date position which is a deal breaker for me. I see that most reps use the asia eta clone movements which come with date. Are there any nice reps with no date and no ghost date position?

I think but I'm not sure that the Submariner No Date reps won't have a ghost date as they tend to have cloned movements. Can someone confirm and also provide any other reps that fit the criteria?
Thanks

114060/124060 comes to mind. Other than that you can actually mod the a2824 movement in the BB58 fairly easily to not have a date position. All you need is the setting lever jumper from an ETA 2801 with the parts number 445/1327. It's a straight swap with the 445/1328 which is in the a2824 but it doesn't have the date position.

What are the drawbacks of a ghost date position?

Nothing. Normally all the date components are removed. You will just have that, a ghost date position.

I actually had to google ghost date position on no dates.

New to me.

Can't say its something I'm overly concerned with, but i do hope you get what you're after @mrkawasaki.

I love both my CF 114060/124060, they are stellar replicas.

All Nodate clone movements like the 3130 or the 3230 have no ghost position.

The fix Geonor said is really "easy" based on your skills. I also did it with a BB58.

It's a huge tell, even the noobs on reddit can spot a ghost date position - without even touching the watch.

Not worth the risk wearing one IMO.

What's the problem with a ghost date position? Why is it a deal breaker?

Maybe it does not feel right for OP - I can understand that
