Long explanation for don't buy the ZF Rose version , buy the ZF V4/V5 ** SHIELD VERSION *** and you have the best verion and a cheap NWBIG for want of a better word 'Super rep'.

Will this be true to the green Harrods version as well? ZF, V5.

It is the same watch with the same constituent parts , and the same micro flaws , apart from the Harrod's bezel and caseback .The Harrods caseback is done well and others say that the green bezel doesn't have the same pop . However if you Google ZF heritage BB Harrod's rep you should get a video from Youtube which was linked to this site in the results .It is a gen/rep comparison and the bezel looks spot on .

So for me the Harrod's version is still NWBIG .

Big thank you for the list. This makes it easier to narrow down on watches of choice that are not Rolex.

Rolex Sky Dweller - Rose Gold, Anthracite face
Am I correct saying

Sky-Dweller 326935 JWF Rose Gold Anthracite Dial Swiss 9001 V2​

Is the best quality from chinanoobwatch? $448
I have done a fair bit of research but please inform me if there is a better version before I purchase. Or if there is a cheaper price from another TD.

ChinaNoobWatch is not a TD.

I'd recommend sticking to TDs (don't google them) but before anything else read the FAQs in the New Members Area.

Would people recommend the gold sky dwellers or do they scratch too easily and then look terrible?

Few threads to have a read through:



Am sure there are many many more because the forum is a great place to explore, whatever you're thinking of asking, likely it's been discussed ;)

Happy reading.

I would like to put this on record, for all that it is worth.

I recently purchased 2 x reps from this list. Both reps are timepieces that I have been longing for the gen versions for a while now. After coming across the world of reps at the beginning of this year and studying the NWBIG list for weeks, I thought that I would go down the rep path to see how the two timepieces feel and look before diving down the gen path.

The two in question are:

2018 Omega Seamaster 300 VSF V2 Black Dial, and;

Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 8900 VSF Black Dial.

Now these are both regarded on the list as First Class Reps, the AT 8900 likely a super rep.

After owning both reps for over 2 months now, I just thought I’d provide the community with my 2 cents. The AT 8900 is an absolute stunner and I would highly regard this as being a Super Rep. There is absolutely no flaws with it and I feel proud to wear this on my wrist everyday.

The SM 300 however, has been somewhat of a let down. There are two very evident and nagging issues with this piece that I just cannot get my head around and they are not simple fixes.

Firstly, the lume colour on the dial markers in normal light. They have a tinge of green/yellow and are not the pure white colour the gen dial markers have. This is an obvious giveaway and a daily annoyance whenever wearing this rep.

Secondly, the crown guards are too short and so the crown protrudes past the guards way more than gen. This is a dead giveaway on first impression of you know what to look for.

Due to these two issues, I would not even consider this rep as first class, as they are dead giveaways as soon as you look at the watch (even from a distance) for anyone who knows about them. I don’t know why this rep is even listed as a First Class. I would even go as far as to say this should be removed. What are others thoughts?

Anyway, I thought I would provide my input after wearing these two reps for a couple of months now. Would love to hear others thoughts.

Thanks for the observations ,but these are ALREADY WELL KNOWN FLAWS and widely discussed on the forum . Firstly the yellowish dial markers, it is up to the buyer to check for this during QC , you can get them with the correct pearly white dial markers .Secondly the long crown/short crown guards is the MAJOR flaw on the VSF SM300 EVERYBODY on here knows about it . That it is why the watch is FIRST CLASS and not a SUPER REP .As you say it is a dead giveaway IF YOU KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR .However 99.9% of people DON'T KNOW what to look for , even people who know the watch might not know what to look for , and therefore not notice without the gen as comparison and looking. This particular watch was used by two well known large YouTube watch channels to show how GOOD replica watches had got ( both used grey dial version).One was by a large gen watch seller who even did a gen/rep comparison , obviously they discussed the flaws (mostly under macro ) , but funnily enough didn't notice the crown guards . It is an excellent GEN LIKE replica , regards not being on the list ALL THE WATCHES on this list have flaws if you know what to look for, even those right at the top . It is after all a $400 replica of a $5800 luxury watch , and if you have worn /handled the genuine youshould appreciate how good it is .

I would personally nominate the Clean factory Datejust 41 V2, Clean factory GMT Master II BLNR and Clean factory Daytona Black + White V3 as Super reps/NWBIG.

I'd like to nominate the GF Breitling Superocean Heritage '57 (specifically in Blue, Black, or Rose Gold). The rainbow versions I think the dials are a bit light on the colors. NWBIG for sure.
