It's either in this box

or in this one, amongst my cheap gens

Now that's a thing of beauty!

I have lots of good reps, hard to say which is best. The Seawolf is one of them.

I have some reps more than 10 years, still working.

Fleischer, I'm really taking to the Seawolf, does this have the A7750 movement?

7750 is a chronograph or (as from some Panerai) a second at 9 time & date autowinding. There are even rare center second 7750, like in the Hublot king Diver.
Definitely not in that Breitling (it should be a 2824)

Rusky, What movement is in your Brietling's?

It’s the 2824, I have two believe there both gen eta’s I know my yellow deffo is, never opened the white but very smooth on the wind.

Greg, this is what I am hoping. Hopefully I'll be fortunate enough to have a rep last that long. Have you had it serviced quite often?

Ya don't service a 21j cheaper to stick a new movement in, but I'm guessing he's done neither these cheap Chinese mechanicals can be very hardy if you get one without pubes in it

IWC GST in titanium was probably mine: hard to find, very accurate and an absolute beauty. I loved that watch and have no idea why I sold it.

Best... as in ?  

1. Most accurate to Gen ? 

2. Most accurate time keeping ?

3. Owned/lasted the longest?

i don’t understand the question.

This one. Noob V5/2 114060 (pretty much ticks every box)

Excellent choice here. It was my first rep & ticks the boxes for build, fit, finish, robust movement, weight & feel......

My  "Best Reps" are as follows:

Only two are in the most regular rotation, firstly the TC LV (almost indistinguishable from the Gen) when I tried on a "real" 16610 I scratched it from my "Future Gen Purchases" as I left the store.......

The other is the IWC 3714, which is an oustanding rep full credit to ZF. The look, feel & performance is wonderful, I would love to get the gen but I need to see & feel it because I wonder whether the above might happen with that one too.....

I must give an honourable mention to the Tudor Black Bay, rightly has "Super Rep" status......beautiful & very close to the gen............

This is probably the closest to its gen counter part ...

So many watches, so little time.

My favourites nowadays tend to be quite like the gens. It's a fairly big list. I wear one for a week, then I'll swap to one I might not have worn for a few months.

The full ceramic case BP is right up there. c107d8d365649ee05d8151dabddd4b20.jpg

Favourite is  my Franken Ploprof with gen eta, hands and kenny relume and mods which takes precedence over some of my gens. 

Pam 243J is a close second.
