2258025 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Which are in your opinion the most accurate reps currently available on the market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
got-it Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 This thread seems to pop up once every month. My advice is to search the threads and you'll get your answer...but if I were to venture a guess, it would be Tag link chrono - Probably the most accurate out of all the reps sold.

b16a2 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 There was a topic on this a month or so ago. Can't remember what it was called but use the search function, has a list of all the most accurate ones out there. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve G Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Most accurate rep: When you wear the watch. Least accurate rep: When the watch wears you. JF I like that a lot...I'm going to try and remember this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnkaz Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Never wear a watch which has a higher value than your car. Cheers Johnkaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWP Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 May not be the most favorite rep out there but by far the most accurate rep is the Omega Constellation Double Eagle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finisterre Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 When someone failry new to the board asks this question it allways makes me wonder what their motives are Maybe they want to buy a good rep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_uk Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Maybe they do, IMO most people have a favourite watch or two and would be looking for the best rep of their favs, not just whatever watch is the best rep, just my opinion.

themuck Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Thanks for that one Epoch and Fitmic. Watched the topics and discussions about perfect reps for a long time and hadn't heard that one mentioned before. I've followed all the advice on the forums and have chosen my dealer before choosing my first reps. Ordered three so far but hadn't considered the Omega Constellation Double Eagle. Do you have one and can you suggest a source coz my chosen dealer doesn't have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koko Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Very simple answer here. The most accurate rep is the one you wear with the most confidence. What do I mean? I have a good job, dress well, and take good care of myself. I don't look out of place with a Rolex on my wrist. I have a history and a story behind wearing my other two reps. I could afford two or three gens as well. So, I've never been called out. Take the exact watch off my wrist and put it on a friend of mine's and he'll get called out every turn he makes. So in short: Most accurate rep: When you wear the watch. Least accurate rep: When the watch wears you.

chrgod Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 May not be the most favorite rep out there but by far the most accurate rep is the Omega Constellation Double Eagle. It is the one with display caseback?? May be accurate from the front, but not if you hand it over for "inspection"... The good old vintage Connies trades for about the price of two good reps and is excellent used buys! In the previous thread about the most accurate replica, I raised the voice for the regular Tag Heuer Link, in place of the Chrono version.. The regular Link uses the stock ETA datewheel.. Just as the rep. Thereby you avoid the slightly off datewheel of the Chronograph replica.. But, the regular Link has never gained the fame of the chrono version..

The good old vintage Connies trades for about the price of two good reps and is excellent used buys! No, I am making reference to the solid caseback. I actually did a review of the watch and By-Tor has a link to it. I own one and let a friend who has the same version, but gen put it on. He could not tell the difference. TMK, it is still one of the most accurate reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Eleven Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 The most accurate are those bought from the ADs,..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I think the new IWC Pilot's watch from Eddielee looks the nearest to date but I think there will be some stunners in 2007! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobs1971 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Is the jury(s) still out on this one or does anyone yet know which is the most accurate of the 2007 releases and what are the flaws...if any From recent posts it appears that the accuracy of the SMP is getting worse (flat waves, missing 3 hour mark, screws instead of pins, HEV position) and the SMP should in my opinion be no longer in our top list. I hear very positive opinions on the HBB, TH Carrera and the new IWC Pilot. I found out that the grey color TH Link Chrono has either a flaw that has not been noticed by most people yet or TH has changed the color of the dial recently and our rep is moddeled after an old version. See http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...amp;hl=mushroom. (I compared my rep to a gen at the AD and the gen seems to be partly silver and partly mushroom while on the rep it all has the same mushroom color). I don't know about the blue version. Seems to be pretty accurate from pics that I've seen of reps compared to a gen at the AD. I wouldn't mind to see a first quarter update of the top 10. Maybe we can update it every 3 or 6 months?

b16a2 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 That's a great idea to have an updated list. Especially now we have seen watches such as the BCE, Steelfish, HBB, and the new Ferrari watch which I am trying to resist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Ferrari should be on the list..........Most accurate Reps 2007 !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Get a list going, where people can add, remove and debate as they feel fit to do so. To start in no Particular order - Tag Carrera Chrono - Ferrari series - Breitling Chronomat Evolution - Breitling Steelfish - Hublot Big Bang (was that this year?) - IWC Pilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Just throwing in the Plain Jane non-date Rolex Air-King and my favourite the non-chrono Link.. :-) Simple watches, which are not the most popular replicas, but very very close to the gens. The Link Chrono is beautiful, but odd, slightly non-aligned datefont and the 'cheap' feeling of the Asian 7750 when you set time and date lets it down. Both of these flaws can be fixed if you install a gen ETA7750. PO is another true beauty, with nice and smooth ETA. In my mind it is only the pearl which is a tiny bit off.
