justicepool 0 Posted December 1, 2012 I was wondering what luxury watch has been replicated the closest cosmetically. It looks like some brands would be easier to replicate than others. The Panerai models seem like some of them would be easy to rep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted December 1, 2012 Take an advice - read our threads for a week, or, better, for two, and get some knowledge, mate. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baxter 6 Posted December 1, 2012 AP diver V3 PAM 127 PAM111 V3 PAM 005 Pam 243L HUBLOT BB V6 Good starting points, there are many more but read the review sections on each brand - also check out Ales ultimate pam guide on RWI - all the info is here but you've got to put in some time reading. Good rule of thumb is that the price of a watch will give you a clue - In the end they are replicas and will have some flaws. The more time you take to research the happier you are going to be with your purchase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arancini 0 Posted December 1, 2012 Like Luth and Baxter said, you really have to put in some time researching the board. In your best interest. There's a lot to learn - never stop really. The search button on this forum is excellent. Agree with Baxter as well about the Ales Panerai Rep. Guide on the RWI forum and the watches he suggested. Good Luck!

jimsusan 1 Posted December 1, 2012 I was wondering what luxury watch has been replicated the closest cosmetically. It looks like some brands would be easier to replicate than others. The Panerai models seem like some of them would be easy to rep. In my experience the Rolex Explorer 1 rep is a great copy of the Gen. I have both, the rep having an ETA movement, so I am able to compare directly. I keep my gen in mint condition by not wearing it much but wear my rep on a regular basis. The photo below could be better but here they are side by side. Any guess as to which is which? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 4 Posted December 1, 2012 Gen on the left. I sold my exp 1 a few weeks ago, lovely stunning 98% rep, just too small for me :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 79 Posted December 1, 2012 Cartier Santos XL - there's a rep made of mostly gen parts. Costs $1600 though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimsusan 1 Posted December 1, 2012 Left = gen? Gen on the left. I sold my exp 1 a few weeks ago, lovely stunning 98% rep, just too small for me :( Sorry guys---the gen is the one on the RIGHT. I'd be interested to know why you both thought otherwise. Whatever, just shows how good these modern reps are even allowing for the poor photo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyKrush 16 Posted December 1, 2012 BR-02 is pretty decent... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 4 Posted December 1, 2012 The 12 Marker lines up better on the rep than the Gen in that case Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diplosa 0 Posted December 1, 2012 Just try and find the best sub. You'll be happy and will be able to report back as to where best sub can be found. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justicepool 0 Posted December 1, 2012 I bought a gen sub. Thanks for all the replies. I am not asking so I can purchase the best rep of any gen, but out of curiosity. I will only purchase a watch if I like the looks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
