I'd like to chime in on the Tudor Black Bay Red Zf on the SuperReps list. I was all set on getting one but after reading reviews of rep vs gen I found the pip and the font differences are a huge tell and a deal breaker for me. Now I'm hearing complaints about the bracelet and dial alignment. :(
Yes i agree it is OBVIOUSLY a rep ! Anybody who knows watches will call it out in 10 seconds with the naked eye .

Short time reader and first time poster!

Seriously, I had no idea there was such a culture around watches! I am amazed at how many people have actually taken the time to put these guides together. Whilst there is so much to read I am finding it quite easy to follow, and understanding the own language that has evolved from this forum!

I actually wanted to get my hands on a Gen Rolex and realised that I wanted to actually wear one now and not one when I'm 5 years older ( when a new one becomes available) and less of a hit to the hip pocket.

I also like when some of the OPs do mention who they dealt with.

Anyway I'm carrying on, just wanted to say thanks to the contributor(s)

Any thoughts on the Rolex Sea Dweller 4000 Noob V2? I couldn't find it on the list. Curious if others have any feedback on that

Any opinions on the Omega Aqua Terra Worldtimer by VSF? It's been out a few years now.
I know people will point out some microscopic details about the globe, but apart from that it seems to be pretty good?

It's a decent rep, but they also are known for having slight issues with regards to the 24-hour glass ring. In particular, they usually seem to sit a bit too low, resulting in some of the numbers being slightly obscured. To me, it's a pretty easy tell vs gen, which usually has the ring sitting perfectly.

FWIW, had my eye on the OF Breitling Endurance chronos for a bit, they seem to be worthy of consideration as NWBIG, according to the consensus in the thread discussing them.
