The Rarest Reps

This Blancpain might be a rare replica, but its nothing special - unlike some of the other gems presented in this thread. Actually, while I have always lusted for a Blanc, this is far from something that would satisfy me even if it was released in the mainstream.

not sure what makes it "rare" freddy, but that A Lange and Sohne RG/Black watch is a BEAUTY

What makes it rare? Try to find another 1 exactly like it.

Lange only made a handful of gens like it as special orders & when I saw it available (very briefly) as a rep several years ago I grabbed 1.

To me this is THE ultimate dress watch. Understated, classy, elegant.... you name it.

Freddy, would you happen to have more pics of this beauty?

Even rarer than a white 5107 rep is another member who shares my appreciation of understated Pateks. This watch is often mistaken for a cheap Timex or Seiko at 1st glance. More than once, someone has asked for the time & then did a double-take when I turned my wrist in their direction, which is why I like it.

Here is another picture with the 5107 next to the even more understated (and rare - I have not seen another 1 of these reps in years) VC Patrimony

At the risk of upsetting Ubiquitous, I would add the AP Nick Faldo to the list. Gone, but not forgotten.

Man, that is like pouring salt into a wound! :)

I think I kick myself the most over that one...

If there was one watch I miss the most, it would be that one. I wish they could re-introduce this one back into production.... :(

:D

These are the kind of watches that really make me drool - even though they wouldn't fit my mostly casual dressing style.

The JLC Master Control is also a watch that I've hardly seen a decent rep of. The one that comes the closest is hxxp://www.silix-prime.com/product.asp?id=1566, but unfortunately it's missing the blued seconds hands.

Hi,

sounds odd but...

I bought a lite HBB with the low beat 7750 (and it's "dummy" regulator) + bold datefont.

I have never crossed an other one here, only lite versions with the 28.8 k mvt.

Therefore I consider my version as rare (and having been some kind of draft ?) ^_^

This is quite a rare replica I belive... Quite funny watch, with a Poljot 3133 manual wind chronograph movement. It even has Rolex on the bridge! :lol:

An eBay find from some years ago. :)

Nice. I love it when the rep factories "play jazz" and just make whatever they feel like.

Has anyone else seen the Glycine Airman rep's animated movement? I saw a photo of it a while back in an online catalog, I wish I had saved it. Probably just a case of the manufacturer using whatever movement was lying around in that approximate size, but it featured a randy rascal ravaging a wanton wench. Pretty hilarious on the back of a big businesslike pilot's watch.

Great topic, brings back alot of memories. I`ll add one more to all the great ones mentioned so far.

Vacheron Overseas from Sunshine, more than a few years ago.

Highly accurate dial, with the nicest caseback engraving on this series I have seen.

Note the engraving on the bottom of the hull on it.

One of the most rare reps that I wish I had bought would be a Tag Heuer Monaco - 2 subdial in the form of the 1st Tag Heuer re-release of the Monaco. It was was sold by an Italian rep seller called Buywac and used a hand wind movement. Don't believe the seller exists anymore and I have only seen the watch on 2 web sites.
