Raziel 0 Posted March 3, 2018 Fairly new to this game...I just read that the Pelagos is considered a super rep NWBIG and it's certainly a beautiful looking watch. Can anyone give advice on which factory and/or V to go for? It seems like a few of the posters here have chosen different models? Cheers, ChiI think you are best off with the rep in this topic, it is the closest to the real deal. However it still has a big tell if you know what to look for, so not a super rep imo.

petrescualex 0 Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) About 2 weeks ago, I received my blue pelagos v6f v3. And it was a big disappointment. It was my first rep and I was heartbroken. The problems that bothered me the most are the aesthetic ones. I should have payed more attention to the qc pictures. The entire dial was missaligned and also the bezel insert. I took it to my local watchsmith and got them solved. The bezel action is so weak that I can turn it with minimum ammount of effort from my pinky and it has a lot of play. The bracelet is very squeeqy and the ceramic balls on the clasp offer no resistance, the clasp opens way to easily. And the last thing, the mecanism si super loud. I mean I can hear the escapement from accros the room at night. I have 9 other mechanical watches and none of them sound like that. However, it does keep good time and the rotor doesn't make noise so I am happy with that. This has been my experience so far. I do love the watch and I intend on keeping it. At the same time I also bought an AP diver JF V7 witch is nothing short of amazing. It has zero faults, i highly recommend it. Pics and video bellow of the pelagos. Picture is before and after a trip to the watchsmith.

Brandflugan 0 Posted March 14, 2018 I'm not sure this should be listed as a Super replica anymore. I got one myself and I just saw that the part of case surrounding the crown is not even close to the genuine one. I haven't taken a picture myself because of the bad camera I got so I took a screenshot on the original one and the replica version posted on this thread. As you can see, the part of case around the crown is in a much smoother state than the replica. On the replica version it has a flat top part (see the red arrow) where is on the genuine one it doesn't really have any flat parts at all. It is smooth and well milled. It is also milled down on X-axis, looking more like a slope than a straight cut. This is something a watch maker will see at first glance and I wouldn't say it is perfect yet.

Knifenut 0 Posted March 14, 2018 I just ordered a Pelagos as my first rep. Correct me if I’m wrong, but is the super rep designationabkut 100% accuracy? Or about the rep being so close as to hardly notice, and be just as reliable as to not spend the money on a gen? Again, I’m a noob so I don’t really know.
