Hi!
I am totally new with replicas and I am thinking of getting one.
Which is the best Omega replica I can get for around 50 usd or less? What is the difference compared to the more expensive ones (230 usd)?

You can get a 45mm PO from Silix for $29.99 + shipping which is pretty much the cheapest you can get. It's crap.

Then don't cheap out on your first one, it'll ruin the experience for you. The best experience I've had with a (relatively) cheap rep was the $128 Ultimate Sea-Dweller from Trusty, but I consider it the exception, not the rule.

Difference between a cheap one and a good one? Build quality, finishing, accuracy of the replication, and attention to detail. Pretty well what you would expect for paying a little more.

Another vote here for the POrikaa from Narikaa. I can't speak specifically to the feel in-hand, but I've been pretty impressed from the photos I've seen from other members.

I'd vote on the DG 5GPO. It's only $135 and looks so close to Gen.

Compare the bezel teeth to the POrikaa. ;)

Looks good for $35. The silix watches are cheap though. They are powered by the cheapest version of the 21j movement. The bracelet may not be very good but these silix specials can be good daily beaters on a better strap.

All that said, a $135 5th gen planet ocean from Trevor will a way better watch in every respect.

Some need to tell me tho what all this things means:
narikaa - One of our 'trusted dealers' on the forums.
porikka - Narikaa's Planet Ocean offering which has been nicknamed the POrikaa
stan at wbk time - Again, another trusted dealer.
$128 Ultimate Sea-Dweller from Trusty - A Rolex Sea-Dweller rep offered by Trusty Time, who is not a trusted dealer on this forum but on one of the other forums so many of us here frequent. I mentioned this to give an example of a time when I have had a good experience with a 'budget' rep.
DG 5GPO - Fifth generation of the 42mm Planet Ocean rep.
bezel teeth - The teeth on the watch bezel, which is the thing you turn around the dial, the thing with the numbers on it.
