I wanna know what most people feel would be their best rep is. Has to be all around best. Looks compared to gen, feel and last but not least reliability.

Can’t have any mods. Cleaning and lubing bracelet are accepted. Watches with leather straps you can swap the straps without it counting as a mod.


Mine is a tc 16610ln.
The VSF Hulk i got from you...

Tudor is far from my favorite brand. I like them, but they don't trigger the visceral response that other watches do.

That said, I picked up a batch of "fixer uppers" a while back, and the XF/V6F Pelagos in Titanium is just awesome (once I got it running again). It's certainly one of the better OOTB reps I've ever had. It holds its own with the VSF, Clean, ZF, and Noob NWBIG watches I have.

Would have to say VSF PAM 438 and VSF Seamasters. You know, also my old V6s submariner. Feels solid and gen like when I put it on the wrist. Breitling Navitimer 8. You know what, there are too many. Can't pick a best. I'm out, lol.
Have to second this. Even taking into account the threading crown stem issue, this watch is stunning on wrist.

I thought the VSF Seamasters were known for inaccurate crown guards.

Bear in mind, I'm a guy who struggles to tell a $50 Canal Street shitter from gen at times, but just repeating the consensus.
