What brand, model replica is the most accurate external wise + functionality wise?

**Sorry forgot to mention, Mechanical watches only.

So the question is simple... what replica model from what company is the most accurate external wise (Everything from ranging to engraving vs etch, font, height on crown, etc) and functionality wise (BPM, date). Internal's don't really matter, I guess ETA, Clone ETA movements are great.

If you guys have a list of them, which of them require the least modifications to make it even more accurate? (So basically best OOB from the list)

Thanks a lot guys.

Actually. Spend some time reading the stickies on all the various watch sections and you can answer your own question. Do not take this wrong, members are not being unhelpful or unfriendly, just that this question falls into one of the 'asked too many' times category meaning there should be plenty of threads to refer to along with the Top 10 budget reps, Top 3 reps etc.

It would also help to know what functions you require in a watch, and the kind of conditions it will be subjected to, as these are crucial factors as to what might be the best watch for you :)

The other point is that no replica is a 100% representation of its genuine counterpart; they all have flaws. The determination which flaws are least important from a funtionality perspective or by appearance is a subjective excercise. What is important to me, may not be important to you. That is why you are best served by looking through the site and drawing your own conclusions. Start with some of the excellent pinned reviews, you will be amazed at just how detailed they really are.

Tag Link Chrono and the Breitling Superocean Steelfish are the closest thing to the real deal out of the box I have seen. This is how the addiction starts my friend...the question you asked will be your guiding mantra as you spend your hard earned money on this hobby!
