I would have to say tag heuer 500 m aquaracer
it's a very nice alround sports divers watch has presence but not in your face making wearing one in public believable plus after a few attempts the version now available is almost 1:1

I agree the aquaracer 500m is so close they just need to sort out that orange colour to get the sec hand and calibre 5 font the same I need to order one soon the list keeps on getting bigger.

Also the new pams that came out just before xmas are very close especially the 288k and 177l

288k was the game-changer of the year I think. it almost came out of nowhere.
all of a sudden... BAM! here's the closest 1:1 panerai rep ever, hands down, and
actually worthy almost of being called 1:1. if they would have put a 7753 in it, it
could have probably been called 1:1. superlume from the factory, correct AR, they
really listened.

the V5 Hublot factory was basically a big let down. they made a nice ceramic all
black bracelet, but their watches are not what we were expecting. the V1 factory
on the other hand... they just cut their prices by more than half for a very comparable
lite version of several of their watches, so good on them.

the 111j and the 177l are both very nice, actually incredible for the cost.

the ploprof made a pretty big splash when it landed, and the newest po a bit too.

If you guys can come up with a list of 10 I will do an official RWI poll.
Let me know if and when you narrow it down.

1. PAM 288K
2. PAM 196 and all the other A7753 models
3. PAM 177L
4. Breitling Blackbird (Blue dial)
5. Ultimate BK DSSD
6. Omega UPO 42mm Ultimate
7. PAM 111J
8. PAM 253
9. Cartier Santos Chrono with 7753
10. Definitely the new HBB V1's. Although they're not EXACTLY the same as their $600+ brothers they're the deal of the year when it comes to what you get for your money


Looking at that list it seems 2010 was the year of the PAMs

I know the ploprof isn't exactly perfect yet, but with all the antesipation about this coming out, doesn't it deserve a place on the poll list?

also the 177

generally the A7753

erm are we forgetting the BR03-88?

also what about:
graham chronofighter?
br03-92 hyper rep
Breitling B01
Breitling SA updated dial


are we talking about popularity or accuracy?

If accuracy then BR03-88 all the way!

The 288K beats the BR03 in every single aspect. Definitely the rep of the year!

Sooo....a list to select Rep of the year in 2010, would include at least two or three PAMs, one Hublot, one or two Breitling, one Rollie, one Omega, one Graham, one IWC, one Cartier. Does that sound about right? We are ready for a poll....
