The (Rep) Abject Fail of the Year

[trailboss99]

What was the worst fail of a rep in 2024? We only had one nomination from staff, which shows just how good reps are becoming) but it's a lesson in how to ruin a rep with one spelling error. I give you the VC222 from TWF, made in GLNEVE.



Thank you JTime for the photo.

My proposal..... THB's AP 15416 Ceramic Openwork. Full true ceramic case and bracelet on a beautiful near clone movement. A showcase of how far the rep game has come.

And yet, some things never change about the rep game

For the hype the VC222 has alone, and for them to release another swing and a miss it has to be this one!

My money is on the AP 15416 as the biggest balls up, purely because it's way easier to correct the VC222, which is also a lot harder to spot if we aren't actually looking for it

The three Panerai Radiomirs 1292 1294 1386 come p900 in gen and VSF put in the p9000 clone. Gen is 10,1 mm thick, VSF Rep 13,3 mm. Ruined it totally for me.

GMF 226570 gets my vote for that hinky movement with that setting lever. Looks great but damn that movement.

can’t we just give it to patek for the dubious cubitius !! No rep but may as well have been one

 

[Mjh2k4]

There’s a logic to that…
