do you guys see anything that stands out blatantly wrong? I read that some of these are not actually 43mm but 41mm, misaligned markers, and wrong logo seems to be the usual problems, but this one looks really pretty good. I`m a noob to Tags so I wanted to see what people think before placing an order. also, will this rep be accurate enough to exchange to gen alligator strap? (will ask watcheden directly also) thanks.

Subdails are slightly different, the 60 mark is larger on the originals. And the chronograph is probably not working as a chronograph, looking at the markers. Sweeping second hand should be in the 9 o clock subdail.

thank you. any idea which TD has the best one?

No expirience with td's. I recently bought mine from eta-911.com. Pretty close to original, but not cheap. Shipping to the netherlands in about 5 days. Look for a valjoux 7750, that is the engine with a fully working chrono and replicates the original. I have nothing to do with eta-911, just sharing my expirience. There must be cheaper replicas available with a valjoux 7750, but I was looking for a dealer which accepted paypal.

Reps don't come with real Swiss Valjoux 7750 movements. That movement alone costs @ $500.
Reps will have the A7750 clone movement. Don't fall for the Swiss BS many scam dealers try to sell you.

i bought an Asian valjoux, which is a replica of the swiss engine. Valjoux engines are work horses, pretty robust. And have the chronograph function (if 7750).
Btw valjoux 7750 are not patented anymore. As said, if a replica dealer is selling you a swiss valjoux, most probably it will be an Asian.

the one from eta-911 has blue screws on the movement which is a dead giveaway for me...
