It's complete nonsense for me. I have certain principles for one watch purchase that I'll flagrantly ignore for another.
For example, I like the Oris BCPD in red, but the price is outside my bracket, so I got a cheap (but reasonable) Chinese homage.
So you'd be forgiven for thinking that, in principle, I have no problem with homages.
But I also like the Tudor BB Burgundy (again, outside of the price bracket). NTH does a great-looking homage, but this time, I felt it looked too similar, so I went with the Wolbrook Skindiver Wordlimer with the red bezel because it gave me a lot of what draws me to the Tudor but has its own very distinctive design language.
So, do I have an issue with homages or not? It depends. On what? I haven't the faintest idea!
Yeah, I'm on the second batch despite being on the so-called 'VIP list'.
Was thinking of returning the watch unopened when it arrives on principle but your review has got me thinking twice.
Nice review. Pre- ordered mine back in April. Still waiting for it. MAEN's customer service leaves much to be desired. Can't even get my money back to put towards an alternative watch.
