Best rep of all times? And the winner is... wait for it... Noob 111 and Ploprof v2!

[slask111]

It's a good poll and interesting thread....god damn you slask, now you'll have us up all night thinking of what could make that list

Haha, i am doing the same atm. My gf hates me tonight ;-)

Superocean Heritage 46mm, I bought the gen at a nice price... the rep was near perfect. That was back in 2009, if I remember correctly.

There was a great review on this on RG, coming to that very conclusion, too... but as the site is down atm, cannot check back there...

Please let us know more. If you really think we should have it on the list i will add it. I have heard great things about that rep, but my knowlage of Breits is quite bad.. Wich version was it? V2?

Well Slask, I've got the 1911 and the Noob 111 and they are both amazing, but for me the Ebel just has the edge.

[torobravo]

Ebel is nice but it is far from the gen. I would put some other watches on that list

Are you sure you've been looking at the 1911 Discovery Chrono?

[sgtguk]

What about the UPO and Po42, both great ootb

Any suggestions? This list is just what i thought of but my knowlage is limited. I have a feeling the list will grow quite alot

[slask111]

I think i will leave them out. The AR is wrong and weak. The lume is weak and wrong colour (compared to gen). PO has a bad crown (to big) and HE is wrong. I guess you have seen all the mods that ppl do to make them gen like. And then the bracelet is off low quality and often break.

[Watchmeister]

Toro- I look forward to your suggestions. Come on, fess up.

I knew about those flaws for the 42PO. But the UPO i thought had most if not all of those problems fixed, bar the AR coating and the Omega logo on the dial.

[Mike on a bike]

whiteshields1830, what is it with the logo on the UPO ?

Slask , you seem to be on top of the Omegas comments on the UPO.

Thinking of getting one, keep holding off saving up for real Sinn hydro, anyone know about those either way.

Wrongly shaped eclipse logo on the dial. I dont own a UPO myself, just from what ive read in By-Tors review.

[Watchmeister]

I built a few frankens and it was a long time ago but I remember the PO's being all over the place....the infamous "happy feet logo" on some, heV off kilter on others. the bezel being the wrong color on the orange ones and that horrible blue AR. There was one of two versions of the PO's that were damn good but certainly not "best out of the box".

[Mike on a bike]

Whites,thanks thought you referring to that.

[By-Tor]

Ebel 1911 Discovery is the most accurate rep ever made... without a doubt. At least from the ones that I've seen.

I think Skyland v2 deserves to be on the list... at least if you got it with decent lume dots. WM9 v2 is awesome too, as well as old version of SMP Chrono. I've kept all those reps, they're so good.

[marblegranite]

Now we are getting somewhere :-) this was way before my time, pls let us know more about theese watches :-) how would the ar and attention to detail compare to todays watches? Can a 2004 breit beat a 2012 h or n maker? Remember. We are talking all time best here. Skickat från min GT-I9100 via Tapatalk 2

When I was researching Franck Muller watches I read about a Conquistador rep (not the Conquistador Cortez) that was available in 2006 or 2007 that was extremely close to the gen. Even the movement was the same due to the movements used by Franck Muller at the time. I think I read it on RG but since it's down I couldn't look it up.

Now the FM Conquistador Cortez that is currently available also has stellar reviews. A member purchased a gen after owning the rep and said amazing things about the quality of the rep (also on RG). If you're looking for accuracy stay away from the white dial with black numbers as that is a fantasy model.

[trackpack]

From what I've had go through my hands I'll agree that the skyland is very good, also 42mm super ocean, 46mm heritage chrono. The B&R 02 wouldn't be called on the wrist, the h fac v1 005k was amazing quality. Those are a few I've really thought were good.

[trackpack]

Ohhhh and the 42mm 3 hand MB Timewalker! Also great!

This sounds interesting...good info thanks,...I'm in the market for a high end FM, was your friends dealer a TD on here?

Toad did a fantastic review on the crazy hours back in 2008... this is one stunning style of watch,would appreciate being pointed in the right direction for

one of these too...

[drury]

as an idea, maybe the yellow Seawolf?

might have a few minute tells, but it had that incredible gen feel to it!

[Watchmeister]

Does anyone remember the legendary Muller Vegas. Many years ago I compared my rep to a friend's gen (which he actually bought after a good night in Vegas) and my rep roulette mechanism was better than the gen. That was when I knew Muller was overpriced jewelry.

Let me know what model it was when the other forum is back, or anyone else know?

[senator]

for me Noob Pam 029, 236 and 243. Rolex BK WM9 YM for sure!!

Added the Skyland v2 on the list. That list is getting bigger and bigger But its good to se that there is alot of great reps out there over the years.

Added the Skyland. But the BR02 has wrong lume? Lume is green on the rep while the gen is blue? Thats a big flaw if you want to be "best of the best"

Is the 005 v1 better then the current offers you think? Any other pam experts that want to comment on this?
