Hi, i was looking for an ARF rolex 126600 v3 on PURETIME, what caught my eye was the price on TAG Heuer aquaracer calibre 5, the price on that thing was 538$ where the price on the ARF ROLEX 126600 v3 was 478$, why is that? Is the TAG heuer better build? And overall thinking that the gen price of the TAG is 1600$ whereas the rolex 15000$, how is it possible that an replicas price costs the 35% of the gens price and why is that more expensive than the ARF 126600 v3 which is considered by many the best replica watch out there?

I am looking for the best build watch closest to the gen, it does not matter if its an rolex an Tag an cartier... so please tell me whats the best replica out there

The TAG has an expensive movement SW200, Its a great watch. I own one. On par with the ARF.

The prices of the replicas are only somewhat indicative of their respective quality. I would think that a larger market exists for Rolex replicas (better prestige, etc.) that leads to economies of scale in terms of production, you can see this from replicas of popular models such as the submariner where we are at v9 for noob now I believe. The accuracy increases with each version as feedback is received.

The relative cost of the gen watches is irrelevant.

I’ve the V3 and the Tag, the quality is good on both, but the V3 is as good as I’ve had over the years.

Probably economy of scale. Rolex is popular as a rep, Tag is not. As has been said, the Tag has a good movement. The cost of the gen has zero to do with anything.
