Kicking the hornet's nest.
Ok! Here's my Pagani Design explorer homage in 39mm. I'd LOVE to have the Rolex, but I’ll likely never be able to afford it, along with other grail watches I’d want AND ones that I’m saving for. At first, I fell out of love with it for being an homage. Then I left it in water overnight and then froze it and thawed it with hot water. It was fine and I started to feel like I could wear it and bang it around no problem. Thoughts on homages?

Nice watch, i also got no problem with homage or clomage as long as it has a good built quality
No problems at all with homages. The Explorer is one of the most widely" homaged" watches out there. It doesn't seem to bother Rolex. They'd rather go after children's educational clocks that nobody would ever confuse with a Rolex.

Clomage is the best description!

When I first learned of homages, I had thought "how can they get away with it?" And then I realized "ain't nobody confusing one for the other when they're looking to buy a watch." Lol
I prefer ones with more differences than just the logo, unless it’s an out of production model being homaged, but in general I quite like homages.

True! I like homage to mean ones like Christopher Wards. Earlier in the comments someone said "clomage" which I think is apt.

I did alright with these Pagani, both of which have enough differences from the watches they are homaging I think. Some customers want clomage, some just want a similar look for a price more in reach.
