I've got a couple & bought my adult son one as well. I like the logo for it's clean look. What I prefer is the older models that have only the logo & no name. I wish more companies would do one or the other. I don't believe a Rolex or Omega need the name AND the logo. It's just too much clutter. Baltic, Christopher Ward, Oak & Oscar, Zelos, Phoibos, & many more do it better by keeping the branding to a minimum in my opinion.

commented on Homage Watches Yay Of Nay ·

4 years ago when I started getting into mechanical watches I bought a couple Corgeuts. They were decent quality for around $100USD. After my 'collection' grew with many original designs, I lost interest in wearing them so I gave them to Good Will and haven't considered another homage since. They're not a good fit for me.

Haven't come across a Mission to Mars yet, but when I do, I'll probably pick one up. Also... If you haven't been to The Real Mary King's Close, I highly recommend it. (If you like history)

Great looking watch- I've been considering one. I have watches with 12 hour bezels and one with GMT. When traveling, I prefer the 12 hour bezel for reading an alternate time zone.

Yep- I've bought 3 watches from them (3 different transactions) and everything went perfectly. Good communication in shipping, orders arrive slightly ahead of expected time.

Healy Edition

I stumbled across this on State St in Chicago. I'm not in the market for a chronograph, but I really think this entire package was pretty sharp.
