lanikai Posted December 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 1. GMT-IIC 2. Tudor 7016/0 from Girards 3. Skyland Blacksteel (even though I don't have it yet) off the track .. I vote for your 5513 gilt ... Looks like the Black Steel is going to be a popular pic.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff g Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Come on... no contest,... best, most accurate, rep of the year is the BSO Heritage. With the OR bracelet and deployment clasp, it is the perfect rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I know it's pretty much a clich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Come on... no contest,... best, most accurate, rep of the year is the BSO Heritage. With the OR bracelet and deployment clasp, it is the perfect rep. No chance. It's a different Breitling, though. 2008 was definitely the year of the Breitling.

tenacious_b Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 it sounds really weird to say this, since I collected for 3 years without buying a rollie, but here are my top 3 for 2008: 1. V3 Deep Sea - Despite narrow bezel font, WOW 2. GMT II C IHS - what else can I say that hasn't been said? 3. 40mm Milgauss - damn fine watch - even though I let mine go over no date window weirdness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P8B Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 It was a different scene for me just joining this wonderful world of reps.. but my 3 pics are 1 Skyland 2 Pam 201a 3 Omega PO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake48 Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 1. - SKYLAND - Blacksteel or otherwise - Crazy accurate look and feel! 2. - IWC BP 5002 v2 - Amazing quality and accuracy for the price... 3. - GMT II C IHS - First of the new case rollies to get it right. Honorable mention (as it isn't officially out) - The BK/WM9 "Who has the best Sub" 16610. From what I have seen, this sub blows every other sub out of the water and in terms of accuracy, may very well be the best "Out of the box" Rep to date...

cskent69 Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 1. Skyland (v2 or Blacksteel) - preference is yours 2. GMTIIc CHS (wish they would come up with a closer Bezel insert though) 3. Paul Picot Le Plonguer (technically 2007 i guess - also wish they had made a 7753 option for this one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Shame about the Big Pilot, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 I bought surprisingly many watches in 2008. My best picks: Ebel Discovery One of the most accurate reps produced. I really like this one... not oversized, clumsy, blocky and ugly like many new watches. GMT Master II gen Always wanted this watch and the reps simply didn't quite "cut" it for me: Black Explorer II This was a must-have buy for me... to complete my Explorer II "collection". Great, accurate and extremely underrated rep. Honorable mentions: WM9 Submariner v1 The "Super Sub". The only reason I didn't keep this was that I already bought the v2. It's coming from bklm1234 eventually. GMT IIc Great replica, but this watch still haven't quite "grabbed" me... at least not yet. It's just something that all Rollie-fans should have in their collection. It's not $6000 nice, but it's definitely $300 nice. Whoever said this about GMTIIc is right.
