score one for homage

As a proud owner of a Steinhart OVM homage to Rolex Milsub, I am happy to see an expansion of homage products in new directions :)

Evolution

My collection would become to one-noted if I added the Ranger, but I do like it.

It's clearly a well researched piece. I'm not sure that the incumbent claims about WW1 fueling adoption are inconsistent with what he observed though. The main point seems to be a 10 year delay between production numbers favoring watches and the end of WW1. I'm not sure I find this surprising, a lot of things were slower back then. The mindshift could have happened during WW1 but the metal shift was just a lot slower.

I'm just here to mention that METAS is still MIA on the newest Tudor drops.🤔

True. Although I was in an AD for Tudor about five days ago and they didn't have any Rangers

Probably depends where you got. Lots of different islands and towns. Was on Oahu and everything was fine. I honestly didn't bring an expensive watch though because we were pretty active (zipling etc) and just didn't want the bother.

People get kind of worked up about homage.
