I've run the gambit on homage watches. I think I fall within the crowd of not buying one that I could afford otherwise. I have less of a problem with getting ones of watches that don't exist anymore (Vaer D5 Tropic and Vaer C3 Korean Field for example). At the end of the day to me though, I'd still rather see a ton of homage watches than the fakes.
That very well could be. I'm not at all stating that the VK series has inherent issues or anything but did want to give my experience. I was able to find one other individual who experienced the "jumping" minute hand on reset on WUS but they also weren't able to resolve it. My guess is I just had bad luck twice on QC with how the hands were set on both watches.
I don't know if it's just me, but I've only had issues with the VK series. The first watch I had had the chrono seconds disconnect from the rest of the hands and the 2nd had an issue where upon resetting the chrono hand, the minute hand would snap forward about a third of a minute. That genuinely could be just bad luck on my part but figured I'd share. I'll be honest though; I'd be willing to give it one more shot if the design was intriguing enough to me.
I'm honestly always too nervous about not knowing anything about many of the defunct brands out there. I always worry I'll end up with a poor quality piece that just has a dial I liked.
