You do if you want it considered on the list.There is none yet I'm afraid, but I don't need one for that
Here a pic of my 18239 Franken with the wm9/twbest daydate as a base. I think it deserves its NWBIG title.
Thanks, but this list is about out of the box reps, without mod or any change. Looking great btw.

I think it needs to be reiterated that this is a list of consensus based upon reviews and discussion. In order to gain consensus, the watch's merits and tells need to be discussed. Simply saying, "This watch is a super rep and I just know it" doesn't allow for discussion or build consensus. Nor is this thread the place to ask whether a watch is a super rep without any reviews or talking points.
In short, if you want to suggest a watch, do a review or at least present some sort of case. Simply saying "I don't née a rep to know" adds nothing of value.

Thank you very much
This is the rep OOTB btw after over 10 years of heavy usage
If it came with a black stick twbest rep dial I would have maybe not frankened it.. Not a fan of white and roman dials.
Why super rep?
Absolute best 5 digit presidential bracelet with the correct endlinkshape. Lowest profile rep bezel I have seen plus its rhodiumcoated. Caseshape is the most accurate, dial and hands are very very good for a rep such as the dial. Reliable Swiss eta 2836 movement inside, crystal has good mag and beveled edges like gen. Clasp coronet looks very good and bracelet feels silky (after a ultraspnic bath). Accepts gen dial bezel and dial (but Movement ring has to be modified). Rehaut is identical to gen.
The biggest minus is the stock rep crown being way too big.

Thanks for that. A crown being way too big is too big of a tell, but it's definitely a First Class then ! Thank you. I heard a lot about how amazing wm9/twbest Rolex were and this model also. Glad to have a good feedback.

Thats fair! Yes the crown was a bit of a let down but luckily I found an amazing genuine whitegold one that came NOS
I think especially on a dj/dd case without the CG's a big crown is even more a tell.
Hasn't been a review yet but someone posted their rep v2 versus a gen and it looks almost identical - the carbotech stripped design is much much better and the colours are on point, just we don't know about thickness of case etc aside from it using a cloned movement that may not be technically correct unless I remember incorrectly ?

M2M would be the only way since they are no longer made. They very rarely come up for sale though.

Just for clarification, the TW Best DD that's listed under NWBIG as Super Rep is referring to the 18238 (yellow gold) and then for WM9 is the 16613LB (two tone). Is that correct?
You want measurements? It's really close, even in weight.
Bezel Diameter 1.835" 46.60mm
Case LTL 2.250" 57.15mm
Thickness .672" 17.06mm
Weight on rubber strap 139g
Movement looks great, very close to the p9000 pics.
My only issue, the rubber strap has a slightly large hole for the spring bars, and the spring bars that came with it are small. It's also maybe .5mm too narrow. I made new stainless inserts to tighten that up. Also, the spring bar holes are not drilled through, don't try to stuff a tool from the outside! Fake holes!
The bezel has a tiny bit of slop between clicks. Can't see it, just feel it. If I was OCD I might say the "15" engraving on the bezel insert is pointed 3-5 degrees off center. But I'm not, and no human is going to see that.
Having played with the gen for an hour or so, I'd call this rep NWBIG, especially at 15k for the gen! The carbon pattern and texture are close to spot on.
