I think noob makes the best planet ocean. The build quality of my noob feels at least two times better than that of any other factory I've owned. Certainly better than the v6f

updated :happy:

Due to resaerch on the forum, there seems to be a dispute who does the best AP reps.

Therefore I started another thread in order to find out more on this:

Please be so kind to reply right here in this very thread.

Thanks!

Hi OP, great effort You are doing here to assemble this list. These tend to get outdated quite fast with every new release and when models go out of production. Some models may be controversial, just because there is no clear winner. Nevertheless for this Years X-Mas shopping it will be a valid guide and a good starting point to start an own research.
Here are some suggestions:

BP
BP Sea Dweller 16600 (the classic Sea Dweller with aluminium bezel)
BP Datejust II (the 41mm version)

JF
AP Diver JF V7

V6F
Omega Seamaster 300m Co-Axial

ZF
Tudor Heritage Black Bay V3

on the WM9 16613 - little note that it is out of production and rarely available through m2m only

Thanks for the suggestions!

I know there is a lot of changes in the rep market all the time. So either I'm will need to rework that list a lot or let the thread die ;-)

I'm actually doing this also for myself to learn a bit more and find out which currently are the reps that should be interesting and who makes them.

So, after researching it, I finally got that the "double-1" in the ref numbers of Subs and SDs refers to the ceramic bezel while the single 1 means non-ceramic.

Can someone confirm this? [MENTION=84501]QueTip[/MENTION] - you most probably talk about such things during your sleep :happy:

Correctamundo for sub and SD. Double 1 just basically refers to the modern versions. Like 6 digit refs whilst pre ceramics are 5 digit refs. [emoji106]
