Best out of the box

Thanks everybody...

I never imagine my self with a Breitling, but the white Steelfish with black or brown leather is awesome

You say that there are 2 versions (god/bad) out there, how do I find the better one? I usually buy from PT or Joshua....

'Best'?

Personally I feel the nicest watch I have seen or worn in a long time is the

Breitling Heritage.

Although it is certainly not a perfect rep of the gen, it is damn close. But that is not the point. Point is...the Heritage is a beautiful watch.

It has a lot of presence on the wrist. It is handsome. It sparkles.

Best out of the box? - MBK Nautilus.

What could be the best dealer for best Hublot Big Bang (prefer PVD :-) -- but still?

I know it's impossible to find gen-like Panerai, because there is no even close replica :-)

What about Hublot BB? any comparisons to gens? :-)

Thanks!!!

This proves that opinions are like noses ;) , everyone has at least one.

So,.....here is mine:

Hublot BB (ceramic is best but too expensive)

Tag Aqua Racer

Super Sea Dweller

Brietling SOSF

Omega UPO

Remember that there is something flawed about any and all reps, some are just better than others.

It may not be as accurate as the SOSF but it is accurate enough to warrant being put in the same class as the SOSF.

In terms of accuracy I would put it just behind the SOSF, but way ahead of watches such as the UPO.

Most accurate reps that I'm familiar with:

SFSO (black is probably the best choice, because reports say the blue isn't 100%)

TAG Aquaracer chrono (ditto. Blue is not 100% accurate)

Explorer II Noobfactory (old version, correct hand stack, black dial)

Noob 16710 GMT (correct hand stack, better dial. This is an extremely rare find. Both "Noobs" have an oversized crown though)

TAG Link Chronograph

BCE double-AR (ultimate)

UPO

SMP Chronograph

Explorer I ETA

There are lots of more, but I'm not that familiar with PAMs, HBB, Chopards, etc.

Super SeaDweller is a nice rep, but definitely doesn't belong into this list... due to its completely wrong looking front appearance.

I think the SMP Chrono and the Tag Link Chrono are still awesome reps if you like the style.

:D

The blue Tag Link Chrono is more accurate than the wrong coloured 'grey' version.

Apart from the wrong date font (replacable with standard ETA DW), the only 2 minor flaws in the dial that I know of are the missing lume marks on the inner bezel (white paint instead) and the fonts that are too close to the tick marks of the running seconds subdial.

Other than that it's a real beauty and in the top 10 of most accurate reps.
