Katabami watches

Hi.

Recently I found this guy on Instagram, he makes heavily aged watches with a technique well described on the homepage of the site.

I am divided between loving his fantastic job and vibes and hating that there are almost Rolex homages.

What do you think?

Hi mrcorso, I get your point but good god they are beautiful 🤩

·

Really nice my friend 👌 don't hate there homages,every watch is a homage of the first watch created when you put it into perspective,all copied from the original 👍

·

Looks like he's just having fun with it.

It'll get some hate I'm sure, but hey, even genuine Rolex watches get hate for being genuine Rolex watches so... damned if you do, damned if you don't. The only way to find 100% acceptance in the watch community is to not give a single fuck about anyone else's opinion🤣

·

Will check them out I love the weathered look 😍

·

Id say go for it.

Reminds me of what WMT is doing.

·

Have to say that they are very beautiful and definitely won't mind adding a couple to my collection!

You are right. I tend to avoid blatant homages, but these are really nice at my eyes
