As a Zenith owner, I don't mind these homages / copies as long as they aren't replicaes that can be passed off as real in secondary sales. That would be clearly illegal - the key here is that their own brand is on the dial.
Not everyone can afford to spend thousands on luxury watches and it is more than likely that such a buyer may end up saving up for the real thing one day having experienced(or maybe even prefer the copy). The watch community has more to be gained from the increase in interest for watch collecting than it would lose from any shared prestige.
Take the moonswatch for example... omega sales boomed as a result and new generations of buyers were created.
Furthermore, more homage watches may result in greater investment in features that are more difficult to imitate.
It looks cool!
@RyanGochuico Didn't she surprise with you with a watch a few months ago? ... I can relate!

@DonaldWatchdude The #fivewatchcollection post has become quite popular on Instagram lately. Some very interesting collecting themes across the collector community.
More art than science on the individual level but more science than art in the aggregate. Humans want to believe their subjective opinions on watches makes them "unique" and unpredictable but their preferences are much more predictable as a crowd... and watch brands target the crowd.
