I’ve had no problem with homages of any kind (see my current little friend below). But the way I like to think about it is the delta between the homage price and that of the real thing. For me, that has be 10% or less, i.e. the homage must cost 10% or less than the real deal for there to be a value proposition there. If the homage is, say, 15 or 20% of the original then you ought to ask yourself how hard it would be to stretch (or save) to get the real deal. This works great with most Rolexes. I’m never dropping $15,000+ on a real Batman, but this Squale was 3.5% of that.
I’ve owned two squales including my current “Batman”. Yes, the bezels do tend to be stiff. However I’ve never had a problem with anything else.
I saw his Talking Watches episode and I respect his success, but am flabbergasted anyone would pay $300 for a tee shirt. It’s a plane of existence I’ll never understand.
I can’t decide if it’s the crooked day/date window or the compas bezel you’ll never use that would make me pass on this more.
Doesn’t do it for me. Nothing wrong at all with the watch but it’s not my style. If it had been more along the lines of an Explorer, Smiths Everest or Tudor Ranger than I’d be more interested. They just comped it against the wrong flock of sport watches for my taste. Can’t like them all, right? Bring on the Erebus chronograph!
Well, as it turns out the Ascent from Erebus doesn’t do it for me. Nothing wrong at all with the watch but it’s not my style. If it had been more along the lines of an Explorer, Smiths Everest or Tudor Ranger than I’d be more interested. They just comped it against the wrong flock of sport watches for my taste. Can’t like them all, right?
