I'm curious why the Tudor Black/Blue Pelagos are considered super rep nwbigs. The Pelagos made from V6F and XF are five liners but have an 2824 movement. afaik only the gen Tudor Pelagos 2 liners had an 2824, but the more recent gen Pelagos 5 liners have the in-house movements. So if the watch is opened up, wouldn't a watchmaker be able to tell that the watch is a rep? Or what exactly is the definition of a "super rep nwbig"? I thought it was supposed to mean both the exterior and interior (movements, etc) are constructed identically from the genuine.

From what I understand only exterior appearances are considered. The Tudor models have a closed case back that conceals the movement.

ah i see. then whats the difference between a super rep nwbig and a first class++ nwbig? Since the definition of first class++ nwbig is that "the FIRST CLASS++ category is basically a SUPER REP on the wrist (with a small (has to be minor) tell on the case back!)". so i thought nwbigs had identical movements to the gen.

You'll have to ask the OP that question. I only use the Consensual List as a guide or reference, the final decision is based on the buyer's analysis of all the information available. Hope this helps.

I dont get why BP and GMF Airking are NWBIG, No way, SEL look terrible on both, very easy tell.

Pics?

That has been a consensus emerging from the Rolex fans. If you disagree, you're welcome to show the flaw and we can downgrade it to NWBIG. (which is not the same as Super Rep btw)

BP and GM SEL aren't recessed as genuine. They are flush with the lugs, even a bit higher.

Hello, I am waiting for receive that watch, how are your feelings about it? Is it really lightweight? Does it scratch easily? Did you open the case to see the movement?

Regards and congratulations for your watch!

I finally received the watch, it's fantastic!

But I only have a complaint, tell the trusted dealers to make sure that the manufacturer doesn't use glue to fit the bracelet screws, I had a bad time adjusting the bracelet...

These are some pictures that I did:

Continuing off of my question from last month, would a rep with a clone movement and/or exhibition caseback be closer to a super rep? (with the assumption that its exterior is also very accurate). Also curious if a nwbig/super rep + clone movement exists, should it be in its own 1:1 category? (Not sure which, if any, of the super reps listed have clone movements) I'm also guessing the movements of reps with exhibition casebacks arent always "clone movements," as the movement just has to look similar only on the caseback side that's being shown?

Hello guys,

So I have already one Cartier Ballon Bleu super replica since 3 years and I am really happy with.

I am searching for a new great watch but I noticed that there are only men watches? (except for Cartier models?)

Any suggestion for a great purchase ? :))))

Take a look at the recently introduced AP 15451 in the Audemars Piguet sub-forum.
