Ive tried the search function but nothing came up.
please help me try to understand. Why is the AP Diver 9.5 a super rep? Or the xf pelagos?
Most people on this forum can call them out immediately? What defines a super rep?
ive seen the Noob no date subs. Those are really good. But Diver and Pelagos?
pls help me understand. Cheers!
It think the OP tried to define what is a super rep, a NWBIG etc. and how he compiled the list to the best of his abilities.
Unless we organize a conference where we all sit together with clear definitions, discuss all rep models and come to consensual verdicts as to how each rep can be classified, the whole rep vs gen discussion will not get much clearer than this.
The consensual list is just a guideline as to how succesful a factory was in replicating something.
Credit to the OP for stating in massive font that most people simply don't look at your watch.
And that of those people that do, only very few would be able to say anyting sensible about it, let alone tell if it's a replica or not.
You should simply just enjoy your watch for what it is.
Unless you are planning on selling it on as genuine, or lie to everybody that you're wearing the real deal, the minute details that distinguish real from fake shouldn't concern you.
It was only when I received my first rep, that I started wondering how some people here could get so worked up about details that are barely visible to the naked eye.
I can barely read the words "swiss made" on most reps when looking closely myself.
I'm pretty sure the guy across from me on the train - even if he would be interested - can't either.
Just pick a watch that you find good looking; if it's a quality rep consider that a bonus.
Anyway, just my two cents...
