Omagad Firstly, amazing work with your contributions.

Blue Pelagos V6F 1:1 Best Edition on Titanium Bracelet A5612 V4 is on the list of super reps however I have found what I believe to be an instant tell.

On the case of the gen tudor pelagos there are two number engraved on two of the lugs on the back. One of them is the serial number (this is also done on the rep) but the other is the model number "25600T" https://imgur.com/8unwIIF . in this album you can see what I am referring too.

You can see it is missing on the rep https://puretimewatch.io/watch-brand...er-strap.html#"

Sorry but your instant 'Tell' regarding the serial number isn't an instant tell chap . It is just a mistake by Puretime when they have photoshopped their case back pictures to make them look more appealing on their website . The model number has obviously been wiped .:D If you looked on other TD's sites the MODEL number is present . I own the V4 mine has both a serial number and model number engraved on the correct lugs .

So we both have very different definitions of "instant tell". In what instance are you going to have the back of your watch shown to people whilst wearing it? Also, who's inspecting the back of your lugs? Sure it's a minor flaw in the rep. But it's located in a place that 99.99999% of people will never ever look.

In what world would that remove the super rep status? Are you trying to fake it to Tudor dealers? If so, the movement is different. That's going to be quite a big give-away. But who cares? It's about what it looks like on the wrist. A tiny code missing on the rear of a lug, which could even be explained by a manufacturing mistake isn't a "instant tell".

There is no instant tell :D Or need for handbags :D It is a Puretime Photoshop error . Check out other dealers websites , the watch has both serial number and model number . Owning the V4 I can also confirm the watch has both engraved on the correct lugs .

I am a man of exacting standards. An instant tell to me encompasses a defect that results from an entire element missing from the watch. The fact that the model number is not on the watch is clearly a major misstep. We are a community that aims to pursue perfection hence our detest for mediocrity. I believe being able to highlight flaws in a "super" rep is something to be celebrated and not relegated to the realms of "over-analysis"

For the third time:D the V4 has the both a random serial number and the correct model number engraved on the lugs . Just bad Photoshop chap :D

would like to bring the latest Rolex Yachtmaster rhodium/blue/silver from ARF to the “first class” discussion.

Based on the yachtmaster thread, the only thing that really jumps right off the cover at you is the movement (which is hidden anyway) and maybe the slightly rounded bezel markers.. what do you think?

also: the Seamaster 300 spectre from V6F is listed as “first class”, the updated one from VSF isn’t, even though it is considered to be the best version of it (according to the thread)

Yes I agree, the VSF is very good. I've just received one and will do a gen - rep comparison soon and put a link in this thread, I have the non spectre one but it will be fine for a review.
