Replica Quality V 'Other' Original at the same price point?

Welcome to the community.

I was much like you when I stumbled across this place 6-7 months ago, I started with a POrikaa at around $100 and was amazed by the quality, and this is a cheaper 21j rep. I now own a fantastic Breitling Super Avenger which is fantastic quality, I'm much happier paying $300+ for this than the same for a seiko/citizen type watch just due to looks! I'm about to pull the trigger on a Hublot Ice Bang to go with it.

General consensus is that Hublot and Breitling rep's are some of the best quality / closest to gen you can get out of the box, then there's the whole modding world to explore to push it even closer at a fraction of the genuine price!

I'm sure you will enjoy. If you're interested in Hublot you may want to check out the brand new "v1 lite" HBB versions some of the dealers are now carrying for around $270, plenty of info available in the Hublot subforum

Thanks a lot good to see i am not the only one then

My next purchase i think will probably be a Breitling Avenger Seawolf yellow face with black rubber strap as that look very nice. I havent even ventured into the modding world yet but will no doubt do so over the coming weeks/months - my wife is going to kill me having yet another hobby!!! I do really like the Hublot and this could be my third purchase later in the year but also really like the Panerai as well.

The Seawolf rep is definitely one that would compare very favorably with a gen costing $300 - $400 dollars. I've been buying gen divers from the small "boutique" makers (Benarus, Boschett, etc) and the Seawolf can definitely hang with them on quality. Only thing suspect is the water resistance. I wouldn't take a chance with mine in the water but others have and they have been fine.
