Nice thread OP but stepping in the limits of the subjetivity, If i where doing this i would stablish standars to consider a watch as a super rep, but this standards should be objetive, such as:
-case dimensions (height, weight and lugs distance)
-Case engravings/rehaut (fonts used)
-Dial dimensions (diameter)
-Dial printings
-Dial marks
-Hands (size and lume color)
-Crystal
-etc
every spec should be measurable and every one should be able to reapeat this measurements at home ( preferably common instruments ), to stablish a patron i would guess a replica know for its high similarity with the gen like 116610 v6s (i think in this watch because its well known that factories have years improving this particular model, "the best sub") then to check how much % is diferent the rep vs the gen using REAL MEASUREMENTS, then to be a super rep a maximal deviation should be allowed.
it should be avoided criteria like personal appreciation such as color perception, "gen feel", etc. if its not measurable for everyone with precision instruments, it will be way less objetive.
