Hi guys,
I am looking to buy my 1st online rep. I want the best looking replica available. Preferrence would be a Black 45mm. Any pointers to a good quality dealer you know of guys?
Thanks in advance!!

 

[Q5?]

What research have you done yet?

Well checked a bunch of dealer section, and omega section.

WBK looks trustworthy, i have sent him a PM. Not sure if he has the 45mm.
Learnt that the 5th gen 42mm and UPO 45mm are the latest and best rep releases.


Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks!!

My 2c I got the latest version of the 42mm Omega Seamaster with the blue dial and orange bezel its my daily beater and one of the best reps Iv owned. I think the 42mm version has the best matching orange bezel to the gen the 45mm colour is slightly off I got mine from Toro

 

[Q5?]

UPO is the best 45.5. WBK might not carry that.

Try SuperMirrors, Trevor or Hont.

why are there only 5 gen of reps? With Countless replica makers, how is all that categorized into just 5?
When I looked around at Canal St in nyc I found dozens of differering replicas. Some were real good looking, but did not have an identical original. eg. Quantum of solace chrono 42mm black (beautiful watch). which category do these fall into?

I have done the same research pretty much, but how do you know if silix or other places are on their 5th or 4th generation? especially from their websites?

Blue dial? That's the AR coating:maty:

I would also advice you to go with either the UPO or the latest PO (if you want 42mm). The thing with these watches are that you can exchange parts for gen ones if you feel you want it to be more gen-like

Thanks for all your help guys.
I ended up ordering my first rep - a 45.5mm black dial po from WBK. He called it the UPO lite. Lets see how it works out

Looks like a winner. You said this was described as 'UPO lite'. Differences between this and the UPO?

 

[dloader]

It does not have an ETA movement.

Nice pick up. Is it sapphire crystal? How's the lume ?

 

[dloader]

Decent lume....i think its a sapphire based on the bluish purple glow when held at an angle...

Nice I have Stan's 42 PO on right now and I love it.

 

[Ardee]

How close is this aesthetically to the real deal? I think I might pull my first trigger on this one...

I see happy feet...

A few difference off the top of my head are:

WBK uses 21j movement, low beat, where the UPO either has an Asian ETA Clone or Swiss movement.

WBK dial has happy feet. The new UPO does not.

The Pearl is better on a UPO.

HE valve position is usually better on the newer UPO's.

All that said, WBK offers a great option. There are a few other options in that range.

It cost me less than half of an upo
