REP that is 1:1 in a picture ?

**asanibal** · 01-07-2015, 01:52 AM

So, I know the question what is the best rep, bla bla has been done many times, but...
what REP is perfect if you just look at a picture of it...
AP ROO are grat reps but date window sucks, AP15400 is a superb rep, but the screws are too big... and so, many reps, but what is accurate to be just seen in a pic with nice res, not crap like Instagram.

For example, to me as I have the GEN the Cartier Santos 100 is almost impossible to tell, except for the smaller crown guard, but hard to tell in a pic.
IWC3777 ?
Concord C1 ?
PAMs?

Nothing. Anything can be scrutinized from a pic. Have you not seen every thread for every new watch that is released?

Sometimes the tiniest font size or discrepancy is discussed while overall something is wrong and not even mentioned (i.e. platinum numerals on the sub-c which only recently even entered the discussion). If a rep overall is matching and everything well aligned it´s good to go.

This is a nice one but imo so is the TC & others

red Yachtmaster hand and inverted datewheel show it´s different but still overall it´s so crisp it just looks gen

understated TAG grande date, even the movement is a swiss ronda quartz, same as gen

Ok, but even when you have the gem it is sometimes hard to say some models are rep ... To me Santos is one of those, I have gen are rep and have to look twice to know which is the gen.

Wow, that TAG is darn close. First time I hear about it, thanks.

Thanks

The TAG Grande Date is even nicer in black and as close to gen as it gets imo, can´t find a difference. Subdial at 3 are ticking seconds, subdial at 6 sweeps measuring 1/10 seconds (very fast) for 1 minute, than counts chrono-hours up to 12. Lume is the best on a quartz I´ve seen, chronopushers and screw-in-crown "feel" excellent and gen-like. It´s solid, nothing rattles or seems wrong. Well protected dial glass because of the raised steel humps on the unidirectional bezelring.
Couple more pics of this:

I believe the AP diver, latest version is pretty close to the gen. I got mine from shenzhen and it seems pretty spot-on

I will post photos soon, but I'm just getting to grips with the forum. I downloaded Tapatalk, and reading some posts on how to post pics properly. Will be up soon
