wizardusa Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 (edited) **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. Edited July 24, 2010 by wizardusa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtanak Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddhead Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 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.

BROM Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Tag Link Chrono in Black, Aquaracer Day Date Chrono in Black, Steelfish Swiss Eta Black Dial, EVO V2 Correct Date Wheel. Those are my personal faves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 They say one of, or maybe some of, the Ebel reps are the most accurate. But IMO, they are also the yawniest repped watches out there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rek001 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 How many ways can one say "who has the best Sub"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalcranium Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 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!

JohnCraig Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Out of the box? Got to be BK WM9 YachtMaster; just be sure to ask for the REAL PLATINUM insert (small upcharge). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
