One of the best unboxing experiences I've ever had
My watch-collecting journey has really come full circle.
Like many others, in my much younger days I started with knock-off (sad to admit) and homage watches before the budget would allow a dive into the "luxury" sphere (Rolex, Panera, Omega). Looking to find the fun again in watch collecting, I've now dipped my toe into microbrands (Studio Underd0g), and although I don't turn my nose up homage watches, that just haven't been for me for over a decade. Then stumbled onto this brand that does homages with a very unique take on some of the most iconic designs in the watch world -and I couldn't resist.
The packaging design was one of the best I've seen, and there were nice little touches including additional spring bars and a little spring bar tool (can never have enough of those) It's powered by a NH34 movement, which should work tirelessly. Overall fit and finish are decent for the price, the bracelet is a little janky but fitting for the era that this watch is based on.
What's your opinion on homage watches?
Hells Yes (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery)
or
Hell No (too close to copyright infringement for me)
Show us some of the unique or wacky homages you've got.
Here for a good time, not a long time.
Oh wow, I did a double take and thought my screen was messed up but it’s the watch that’s pixelated
This is really something else!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍😍😍
I feel like that would start driving me nuts in 3...2...1...now!
Just checked out WMT watches Web site and, yes, most homages there are a bit predictable.
But, c'mon, an 8-bit graphics rendition of a GMT!!! 🤯 That's fantastic! Well done and thanks for sharing.

Agree, most homages are the exact same design with only a logo replacement, which just isn't for me. This however is just so unique. They've also got some 'hand drawn' designs which are really interesting and even a mini kids version.
One of a kind!! Not a lot of designs instantly catch my interest like this!
So so cool! It looks like it shouldt exist in real life. If the case was also moved squared off it would break my brain. Official pics are cool, but user pics always better specially with something like this.
