I personally would not own any of the ones that @Luxuracer has posted.  So I would say it would depend upon what you actually like. 

rich

On reflection god those are ugly watches.  Thankfully someone loves them.

We have to leave room for Noob fan bandwagon. ;)

You know, I just realized that I haven't bought ANYTHING that could have been construed as a high end rep in 3 years, I don't believe we run in the same circles anymore.

I don't count modded watches in that.

But I take this thread to be about the best OTB rep of the year. So personal taste is irrelevant. It's about quality, feel, least tells to Gen etc, not where you like a watch or not.

I will send couple of watches for you to mod, that way we'll be running in the same circle for 2019. ;)

As quality probably all the GF Breitling are top level.
Plus I'd add the JLC real moon phase on the elegant side.
Plus the Omega with real clone movement
Plus ...

Noob Daytona, love it or hate it at the price point that movement is a great achievement in our hobby.

Me neither. 

 

However, I do find the 2018 SMP300 nice (from wristshot pictures) but I have yet to hold one so I can’t say.

This has my vote also!

The most under-rated rep of the year ... especially the VRF Max Hulk.

My favs:

VSF Omega PO 600m GMT

GF Breitling Avenger GMT II DLC

JF Rolex Explorer 1 V2

I have all 3 and can't believe that they're actually reps, they feel that good! 

The one, that also feels like a gen watch, is the Bell&Ross diver, but I have no idea about the factory.

The JF Rolex Explorer 1 V2 was released ... back in 2016

The ARF SD43 126600 will have at least two vote ... mine and @AskGingerfuckweasel's.

ZF Ultimate Edition Patek Calatrava Ref.5296G-http://www.trustytime.club/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=39_205&products_id=19345

It is visually almost perfect which is including the movement decoration. The thickness is 0.5mm off which I'm just gonna say is the same because whoever's noticing 0.5mill is so anal they can fuck right off. 

Also, it's not one of your usual good reps like all of the Rolexes which they know they're gonna mint with. Pateks harder to copy and they got it pretty much perfect.

Yeah, but the EXPLORER text was corrected only this year. And I got it this year. So it's my rep of the year. Respect my feelings for this watch!!!! Or I will... I will...

 

 

 

I'll think of something :D

The VSF GMT is up there for me too. They'd be my two choices probably.

Eh true. I’d say for 2018 my most anticipated has been Noobs 4130 Daytona. Sure the dial/bezel lack quality but the clone movement is a real step forward for my in my opinion. Still waiting for my ARF V2 dial to come in to make a swap.
