Are You Into Homage Watches?
For those who know my YouTube channel you'll be well aware that I love a good homage. But what about you guys?

I answered that it depends. I'm pretty much neutral on the matter.
A watch being a homage does not affect my liking of it, so if I like it, I like it, and if I don't, I don't.

That's a good way to be.
if its done ight then no problem
I voted C. For me it comes down to design of the watch, I'm not into Rolex designs, so most "homage" copies have no appeal to me based on that.
I get why brands make homages, I just prefer brands to do their own thing more than focus on other brands products (and mimic them).
I voted C. Homages have a time and place. For one example of that time and place, see my thread here:

I personally don’t like the overdone world of Rolex homages, but I recently found Seestern and in many ways they have better features/specs than the Doxa’s they homage. I enjoy homage watches for what they are: watches that look like other watches. Outside of that, originality is generally best practice and you don’t always have to spend a fortune to get an original design (Seiko 5 line and Vostok as examples).

Most of mine are Homages - but made by the original manufacturer's - Seiko 62Mas reissue, 1968 reissue,Willard, Omega Seamaster 300 (2014 tribute to the original)
Other than that I see homages as little difference to a fake watch.
To each their own tho, whatever floats your boat 😉👍🏻

Yeah I much prefer the more unusual homages too.

That's fair enough. I do like that too. That's why I love microbrands as well. I've reviewed some pretty unique ones too.

Yeah I've got this one too. Had it for 2 years now and I still love it.

I watched your video on it before pulling the trigger. It helped give me the confidence to do it, especially after seeing Aviv (MyAffordableWatchCollection)'s video where he had an issue with the ST19.

Yeah those Seesterns are really good.

I find that is the case with Steeldives homages of some Seiko's too.

Absolutely. Different strokes for different fokes.

I'm glad it was helpful.
I don't think I've seen Aviv's video on that. But Aviv is a good guy and I talk to him now and then.
