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

[slask111]

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

The 029, 236 and VM is on the list. Seems we are getting somewhere

Thnx for your input.

[slask111]

Off the top of my head, PAM 29M, 326 (solid casebacks), Chopard GTXXL chrono, AP Diver v3.

Agree on the Chopard. I missed that one completely. Its a great rep. But is it all chronos or the LE (limited edition) you think?

[marblegranite]

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...

All TDs have access to the same inventory. I would contact a few different TDs to get a quote on the watch you are interested in, and research if there have been issues reported for the TD you select prior to placing the order.

As for the crazy hours I've also been looking for the Jumbo version (with the Curvex case) but have been unable to find one with the correct numerals. All the models available come with the incorrect Long Island numerals (not the color, but the shape of the numbers). This image was provided by Guanaco at RWI.

Have to agree on the Ebel 1911 Discovery. That is a great rep and I have compared it with the gen. It is really, really close. At least the one that I used to own was.

[drbatz]

probably not so popular, but I think the Sinn U1 should be added to the list

[redwatch]

One other one I forgot about that was posted in todays wrist check: The Omega Speedmaster Date. Cougar1 also mentioned it. Definitely one of the greatest out of the box reps I have seen!

[trackpack]

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?

I guess the lume is a tell but not one that would bother me, considering no one inspects my watch's in the dark Day time acuracy is there thou, and if we bring lume into the equation then most reps would fail, like the skyland, barely any glow, as most rep lume prier to 2011.

As for the v1 005k, I compared it to the latest 111N, I was desperately looking forward to the new noob offering and was disappointed when it arrived, it is not finnished nearly as nice as the v1 5k was, machining marks where the lugs meet the case, lug screws not as flush and the non threaded side has the holes a little bigger so theres slop in the lug screw, the CG lever was not flush to the CG body, over all not as nice unfortunately

[mastrmindalliance]

Ploprof should be on this list.

[montrealer08]

Pam29m and Pam288k... No contest these are gen likes at 5% of gen price

Good selection now, that poll is getting bigger, I'm sure there's a few more, we'll be scrolling through that poll soon

How about the aquaracer 500m black, it's pretty damn close out of the box (same poor AR and lume as gen tag aswell ) and also the Sinn U2 should definitely be considered. Also the classic basic non-chrono tag carrera 39mm should maybe be considered?

[DuDro]

All of you are way off...

IWC 3707 in SS or Ti

Cant find any information about the 3707. It was before 2007? Pls tell us more

[slask111]

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

Great is not good enough Pls give more information

[slask111]

It has a bad pearl (uneven and rounded corners) and color of hands (red) is a bit off? Added it anyway.

Good points about the lume. But imagine you are out in the sun.. charging that lume. Then you suddenly walk in to a dark bar thats full of WIS ppl. They WILL notice. This is possible..

But true.. if lume is to consider only the 2011-2012 reps should be on this list right?

I do belive you and respect what you say about the 005 v1. But i would like to know from more members what they think about the 005 v1. Pls contribute. Otherwise i will put it on the list... 22 watches now..

Ok will do.... thanks...

Re incorrect numbers, are you saying it's impossible to source a crazy numbers watch that has the correct font?

[marblegranite]

I contacted several dealers and none could source the Jumbo version with the correct font. If you find one, please send me a PM.

Why aren't you just buying a gen dial on ebay for less than $100 ??

[Jkay]

[marblegranite]

Didn't really consider it. First because I was under the impression that it doesn't fit without sanding the dial from the posts I've read. And second because I'm not very good with tools. I'm sure I would ruin the dial before it was over .

[whiteshields1830]

Where would one be able to buy the Omega Speedmaster Date would anyone know?

I would like to know that my self

[triplehd]

How about the closed factory SMPs? The best SMPs out of the box - bar none. Correct HE valve, pearl, cgs, etc.

I had many, sold many and now building some new ones.

The gen curvex dials above drop right into the FM crazy I bought for my daughter. I have not tried the LI style dial in my own LI style Crazy Hour yet. As far as not being good with tools ... thats what modders are for!
