sanro Posted September 24, 2007 Report Posted September 24, 2007 I bought last week a SFSO of which I am extremely proud and happy. My selection was made thanks to the research I did in this forum, and there seemed to be an overwhelming majority which agreed that the SuperOcean was the best super-rep... Or if you want, the most accurate, high-quality and undetectable of the replicas around. Following such criteria which do you think should be my next two choices?
Victoria Posted September 24, 2007 Report Posted September 24, 2007 I bought last week a SFSO of which I am extremely proud and happy.

Or if you want, the most accurate, high-quality and undetectable of the replicas around. Following such criteria which do you think should be my next two choices? Being a fellow newbie, I urge you to re-edit this post and make it into a poll. Give some people ideas of what you like, like Noobmariners, PAMs, IWCs, etc. Make one of the criteria "Other". Believe me, you will get more interest that way. Good luck!
fitmic Posted September 24, 2007 Report Posted September 24, 2007 I would go for the ultimate Omega Planet Ocean.
sanro Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Posted September 24, 2007 Thx, vbarrett, I am sure you are right... but I still need to learn how to open polls... This week is a bit hectic, but I will spend time learning about it over next weekend. I promiss. My taste... I like IWCs and the Cousteau might be something I could look at. But I have read very mixed reviews in this forum about its quality. Some swear by it, but others point out many defects or poor quality from its Asian movement... I don't know. The Submariner is another "clasical" I would consider... Panerais...I like, but I really know very little about them. I would certainly consider one, but I would need to know which of the replicas is the super-accurate one...if any. Hublot? Maybe... Omega...I hear there are one or two super-reps... Tag, sure! The key criteria is accuracy and quality. They have to look and feel real!! Isn't that the thing? Poll will follow...next weekend or so!
jdavis Posted September 24, 2007 Report Posted September 24, 2007 Have a look at the Tag Aquaracer. It is about as accurate as it gets and is next on my wish list. Photo borrowed from Perfect Clones.....
Stephane Posted September 24, 2007 Report Posted September 24, 2007 As you say you like IWC, why not go for the 3717 (got it from Precious Time) ? And, of course, the Submariner is a must have (Got mine from TTK) Cheers Stephane
sanro Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Posted September 24, 2007 Wow! Stephane, what a collection you have got! I will review it carefully...
jkerouac Posted September 24, 2007 Report Posted September 24, 2007 The key criteria is accuracy and quality. They have to look and feel real!! Isn't that the thing? Accuracy and quality are very important, but the main consideration has to be your own personal taste. I would rather get a rep that is 80% or 90% accurate thate really turns me on than a rep that is 95% or 99% accurate that doesn't do a thing for me. If you narrow your focus only to the few watches that have received the highest praise and consideration from the "gurus" on this or other boards, are you really doing justice to your own taste? White dial of watch 1 is "more accurate" than the black or blue dial? What if the blue would really turn you on more? If so, acknowledge the expert opinions but make your own final selection.
sanro Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Posted September 24, 2007 Well, of course! I would not buy a watch that I did not fancy... But neither would I buy a replica which is obviously a poorly built fake... That is why I would like to know which are the really good quality ones, and then I would pick those that I really would like wearing...
Pugwash Posted September 24, 2007 Report Posted September 24, 2007 I think everyone needs these three watches:
arminvanbuuren Posted September 24, 2007 Report Posted September 24, 2007 i miss my 3717 dearly .. i wish i have it here with me :~(
