Don't need to be an expert.

Create a topic, ask for feedback and if anyone is aware of potential flaws and invite people to talk about it, you'll do fine. :)

Come back here as soon as you've gathered some feedback.

Thank you

I guess the jury is out on the Zenith Pilot Extra Special 20 (ZF) and the Fifty Fathoms (ZF)? The dial print is definitely more accurate on the Zenith ZF version than on the V6 version where the print is too thick. Lume is also much better. Caseback engraving is not as deep.

All Tudor Blackbays should be on this list. And especially now that the Shield logo ones (red and blue bezel) are available to silence the critics of the flower logo.

Also, apart from visual appearance, I take issue with any watch with a Miyota movement being considered. :) They are ultra-reliable but not so necessarily smooth or quiet.

Do we know why the Tudor Black Bay Shield (blue) didn’t make the super rep list?. Purely down to bezel colour tone I assume?

Don't know if it's been discussed but what about the B&R diver ?

Tells and flaws are not the same.

You're probably speaking about tells. All watches have tells, even the best Super Reps. But some of them are so subtle that they could only be spotted with long close look with a magnifying glass and knowing what to look for.

NWBIG that are not Super Reps are watches that are very close from Super Rep, very hard to tell from gen, but if you know the tell you can see it relatively quickly; but only an expert can spot them.

Let's say this : NWBIG can only be spotted as fake by an expert, Super Rep would even be considered as gen by an expert unless he gives it a really close look for a while.

May I ask which Super Reps you would recommend for a men's watch for someone with small wrists? 6.2 inch... Much to my frustration because I simply adore Panerai watches but mostly they're too big and there does not seem to be a 'small' Super Rep PAM... Otherwise, I'd get it immediately.

Most watches in the consensual list are big, especially if you count the lugs.

Any suggestion is kindly appreciated...

JF 114300 Rolexes are the best for small wrist and probably one of the best rep ever created. :)
