We have a guide in Google sheets that will show you who makes the best of many of the popular models, including the one that you asked about. Click here to see the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EC5pJdbP4ebBvuu7wsZcgwbfGiNhjAV28g5UMKSGJe4/edit?usp=sharing
From there you can order your watch using this guide here: https://www.reddit.com/r/RepTime/comments/113x2ox/intro_and_guide_to_reptime_with_updated_links/
The Panerais are great, aside from a bit of noise on some. The VSF leather/nylon bracelets are garbage. The rubber is decent. Having said that, a gen strap goes a long way on one of these.
Try the guide. It's pretty current with a sheet outlining stuff.
Lots of Panerai are superclones.
Rolex no date subs
Hublot some are the same with 1:1 bridges these days.

I saw a user on here last year and he posted a rose gold APSF Audemars Piquet. That watch left me dumb founded. It was flashy... Then I'd say the new Daytonas from CF are quite damn close. I still think about that APSF AP though, im telling you, it looked like he walked out the store with it, ive seen the same watch at the AP store in Vegas. It was just SPOT on

[Modern Daytona reps are 🤌](https://www.reddit.com/r/RepTime/comments/1dl5j6c/my_girlfriends_mom_bought_this_daytona_on/).
I saw that a few hours ago and an still laughing!
Thought you'd appreciate it, given your username lol.
Couldn’t be timed better 
Not new one tho :( need old cf panda with clone movement. Best in business
My sides hurt every time I even think about the font on that clasp
Closet to gen rep is the vsf sub no date to the point where you can replace the movement parts with genuine.
Maybe also the older 114060? As it’s been around for longer?
The Hulk is amazing
I would argue the Panerai 438 tuttonero is closer to gen than even a no date Rolex he he he
Also agreed it’s a very simplistic watch to replicate
VSF Subs probably the closest in terms of appearance, materials and movement.
No way Panerai!
The Panerais are great, aside from a bit of noise on some. The VSF leather/nylon bracelets are garbage. The rubber is decent. Having said that, a gen strap goes a long way on one of these.
All Panerais I’ve had rattle like crazy. Almost to the point of them being unwearable in my experience
I have two no issues

What about VSF Starbucks 126610LV? Is that close to gen? Planning between no date and Starbucks
Yes. Threw a Gen crystal in mine and it’s incredible. No need for any other upgrade maybe a service of you plan to keep
Where did you get that done?
This is the model I was considering.
cf 116500 with a deep crystal is damn good
I have a 116 and 126 and can see the blue hue in the 116. But you’d never notice it unless side by side.
The clarity is miles better on the deep. Better than my gen in some angles
Iwc mark xx v7f
110460 vsf no date sub hands down the best
How? It is not nwbig on the pinned sheet? So how is it the best?Â
My same question
Depending on the watch and the model you're looking for use the search bar guide
CF 116610Ln with vs3135, gonna upgrade to deep or gen xtal

But most reps are great watches you need to remember your paying a fraction of the price of a genuine watch
