I'm not talking about quality of the rep or anything like that...I mean you simply disliked how it wore. Too big, too little, yuck gold, eew rubber strap, not your style etc etc

Breitling Superocean Heritage Edition with rubber strap. It's an interesting watch. The rubber strap is "techy" but the watch itself is a bit more "vintagey". I find that they clash, and not in a good way. The metal strap option is hideous. It's bit and a little gaudy.

Haha it's absolutely the same for me.
I got my first 243, hated it. Then fell for the "it's now a limited edition so let's raise the price" hype and bought it again, hated it again, lol...

Don't actually *hate* any of them. But I'm not that fond of my Richard Mille Le Mans Classic. Clutttered, incoherent 'skeleton' dial, silly chromed hands that are not easy to see against the background clutter, and terrible lume... Oh yes, and it has a 7750 stopwatch movement but the gearing somewhere appears to be wrong so the minutes at 9 dial runs twice as fast as it should!!

Even though I actually like the watch always regretted buying the dssd ..bought 2 and flipped them after wearing round the house and realising way too big for my puny wrists !

All 5 Pams I bought are now gone.
They were all "super reps".
No matter how accurate a copy they were I just did not end up liking them at all. (111,243,088,029 and a 1950)

To be frank, any of the Rolex other than the 36mm explorer. To big or just felt wrong. I don't even like my 1675 GMT, I almost never wear it. I think it is the Rolex name because I do like the Tudor BB.

Rolex DJII . ...wanted it for so long . Got it ,unwrapped it ,and instantly planned the sale. The dial had too much glare and the bracelet felt tinny, it just doesn't feel as nice in hand as it does in some photos. I only liked the blue dial in dim lighting .

Not a rep, but the absolute worst watch I have EVER purchased was the Bob Wellson 2015 Bronze Military Seal... what an utter piece of crap abortion of a watch... a disgrace to the watch industry!!


Please do not buy from this terrible company!!

39mm Explorer. Also the 36mm Explorer too. Somehow ended up not loving Explorers in person nearly as much as I loved them in the photos.

WBK DSOM for me.....The dials were off. When I buy a watch with complications I want them to work as designed on the original. I don't care if the seconds "tick" in a small dial on a quartz, but I want the rest of the dials to work as designed.

I second that 39mm Explorer. They're best sized at 36mm IMO.

IWC big pilot. I loved the watch but couldn't handle the huge size, I guess that counts right?

Hate? No. But I have tried twice to "like" AP's and they are just not for me. 57th Street & a Ti Schumi were with me for a few weeks each and went to the MTM route........
