You handled the subject better than what I'm used to seeing in the YT universe. Actually, I didn't want to look, based on the impression, because I'm used to disappointment. But you brought a clarity of thought that is uncommon. So I hope that this builds for you a reputation and a trust from your audience.

In my opinion, if someone's looking to wear an homage of a well recognised luxury watch, it better be in places where it's obvious to be fake. The other day I saw a guy with a Gold Tone Rolex. Except, this was in a crowded evening public transit - ultra obvious that it's an homage. But a homage in a place like a corporate meeting or an event will just feel weird. Great video as always, and congratulations on the Rolex!

I think there's a fine line to be walked for sure, obviously getting mugged is a traumatic experience, I do think getting targeted for a homage would be a real bag of mixed emotions.

I understand this feeling fully, very much got this from the sport seiko 5s. Really loved my model and it’s made me fall in love with similar designs that are up the price ladder, they are Rolex inspired ofc which is out of my budget. but my seiko gave me the passion for the designs and influenced my recent Christopher Ward sea lander purchase which has Rolex dna too

Really insightful video. Sometimes think about getting the san martin GMT that you have as a trial for the real deal (Grand seiko Mistflake)

If you can get one for a good price I don't see the harm

I’m absolutely behind this concept. I got into watches just over a year ago. I was going to get ‘a nice watch’ for my 50th birthday. I was going to just jump in and get a Rolex bc I didn’t know any better. Once I started looking into watches and discovered how wide and varied the watch world is I realized I didn’t want to immediatly spend £1000s on something I might not like after a week or so. I now have several homages and I still haven’t narrowed down what I really like as my ‘grail’ watch, so there’s still some work to go on this journey.

I like it but it so to much like a Rolex to wear on the street in London where I live,why get beaten up and for a homage for the robber to realise and throw away.

Yeah I totally understand that, it would suck less than losing the real thing, but it would still really suck.
