Love the range available and just took a peek at that C7 Bluebird, really nice dial but yes proper Tag look
mind you with a 5 year warranty you can't go far wrong. I'm into the C60 range too, this one http://www.christopherward-usa.com/men/sport/c60-tri/c60-tri-skcs.html but hey my list is getting longer all the bloody time, should take some of my own advice and hide the wallet........for about a year
-
Getting some more input via pm guys but everyone's views are more than welcome the more the merrier
post on the thread though so that we can all have input on this. I hope that some noobs have been reading the list today, if so could any of them comment, so we know the thread is working for them and is a useful exercise
I'll do my best to update the list with James on the other RwG asap

Saw this fantastic thread over on the other RwG and asked semaj if he minded me posting it here too, it's a great place to read up on the current 'Super Reps' that are available, enjoy
Ok, let me start off buy demystifying the term “super-rep” because it’s banded about on the forums waaaaaay too much. The only way IMO it should be used is to describe a rep that is 99% 1:1, no rep IS 1:1 or they’d just be gens. This is instead, more of a list of “super good looking and quite close to gen” list. This list is the cream of the crop, the best of the best in terms of accuracy and also as a direct result, popularity. I don't want members, especially new members, thinking this is a list of all 1:1 watches, no, instead this is a list to help guid you to the cream of the crop but always remember that a rep watch will always have its flaws.
I have used MemberX’s original list as a base point and built on it. I have included the majority of his original choices, especially those which I’m not familiar with such as Concord etc
I have NOT included modders builds such as RA/Phong. I have only included those who only specialise in one brand, BK/TC/Concepta etc the watches listed are for the most part “out of the box”
Movements; Asian 2836 or swiss, unless the case back is see-through you get the same thing. All watches advised would contain either swiss or asian clone movements unless specified otherwise
Cases: I have included a few watches with gold/white gold/platinum cases in the gen. Obviously, the weight of the rep and gen will not be the same so keep this in mind.
I don’t profess to know this stuff as well as some other members, this is just based on my 2 years collection and reading online. If you have something to add or think something shouldn’t be there, shoot me a PM and I can update the thread.
NB some are better than others in terms of closeness to gen, however all are recognized as being very, very good and close to gen. Small differences from later versions may improve the overall 1:1 propensity of the watch but the earlier version, if applicable, should still be considered very good and accurate. Small differences to the gens such as the placement being off by a few millimeters of the “Swiss made” mark etc are inconsequential.
please note: Those marked *under review* are on the cusp of being removed from the list due to popular consensus that they may may not/should not be classified with the rest of the watches listed. This is a peer reviewed list and majority rules. The more people we have here giving input the better the list will be and more accurate.

@stg the bezel setup is gen but to me the bezel itself looks odd, the triagnle at 12 looks uneven but could be the pic. Either way it looks great. And when it comes to the black, white or asain hole, could it maybe be a glory hole........lol lol lol
thats my sick mind at work. lol
Just the pic mate from what I can tell, insert looks awesome I reckon
What's a Glory Hole M ? ........................
(there is no sarcastic smiley is there) +1 on the sick mind mate !

Not bad actually Mike I've had a couple of them and last ok tbh the main bit you want is the clasp then you can switch out the strap later for a generic and it still looks Gen cause of the clasp
Hey and they are cheap as chips too

Great comparison mate
it always amazes me how good the rep bracelets are now, a few tweaks here and there and they would be spot on. The 'feel' however can make all the difference when you wear them mind
