Casio on a nato strap or original style?

I love nato strap in many reasons. However, but I see a lot of people here using nato strap on casio watches like G-Shock, F-91W, but for me doesn’t fit. I don't want to offend anyone, but it hurts my...

Awesome watch! Do it!!!! It’s in my wish list!

It’s curious that in Switzerland or the USA there are no watch brands specializing in “clones”. Homages are another story, and I think more like the original post.

I'm not generalizing to all Chinese brands. Seagull for exemple is excellent. But I imagine how deep is the horological history of Pagani DESIGN. Who knows, maybe one day I'll have one.

I'm sorry, but your answers seem highly biased. You said that only in China do all these qualifications exist, but in other countries there are not? If they have so many qualifications, and I believe they have it, but then why do they prefer to make a copy, a clone, copy the design development work of successful brands instead of creating their own? Based on what you answered, and my perception, what comes to my mind is that in China the laws allow and even encourage companies to deliberately copy successful products from renowned brands from other countries. But each consumer buys what they prefer, there is no problem with that, like I already said before.

I know that the luxury watch market is a completely different market from homages watches, everyone knows that. No luxury brand is threatened by clone watch brands. I agree with all the points you mentioned.

But my question is, are there any clone watch brands that are not from China? There I know design copies are ok. It's an honest question, I don't know. Invicta for example, still has its own characteristics.

Several brands such as Casio, Seiko, Orient do homages, but they have their own characteristics and are not a complete design clone. Companies like Pagani, for example, make a complete design copy, their design work is zero effort, zero!

And I reaffirm here, I have nothing against anyone who likes these watches, no problems, and I know that they have excellent value for money. Maybe one day I'll change my mind and can have one, who knows.

I believe full copy designs are only legal because they are made in China. Maybe I'm wrong, I think it's only in China that these clones with another logo are made. If I'm wrong, I apologize. But I know it has great quality, excellent value for money and the internal movement are good, but I'm not a fan. I have no problems with who likes, that is ok, but for me I do prefer homages with their own characteristics.

Thanks man! Yeap, I don't want to increase the number of watches, but replace one or the other.
