northantsrich 1 Posted June 25, 2019 Hey Guys, So I have two spaces in my box now and wondering what to fill it up with. I am looking for only super reps. Any suggestions on what two watches you think I am missing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did a rep vs gen review of an older version of this a few years ago. It was nice but not super rep. How good a rep is the one you have? what version is yours?

I would love a Patek. The only issue I have is that they are such amazing gens than the reps just don’t seem to live up to them. what version do you think would fit the super rep status?

It was nice but not super rep. How good a rep is the one you have? what version is yours? There's currently about a 125 page thread over at RWI and the general consensus is that this is one of the best reps of any watch to come out of any Factory. This watch is a VSF factory V2. You will want to make sure that you get the V2 version with the correct Pearl and bracelet. It comes complete with the adjustable clasp by pushing just a small button within the clasp. Before this watch I only owned one Omega and ended up selling it. Right now this watch is one of two reps that I would keep if I had to sell my collection.

Ill be placing an order for the black version. Thanks for your help, i think the other one one I’ll get will be the ZZF Rolex Sub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess the more skilled the horology the harder it is to rep in any sort of decent way. If you look at all my reps they are all quite bog standard watches that normally would have a fairly standard movement in them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes of course the movement isn't the same but they even engraved the Miyota 9015 with PP writing, plus the openable case back covers it unless opened.
