Most Timezone.com wristwatch aficionados argue that an homage is just as "pathetic" (their words) as having a true, labeled Replica. I have Joshua's two-tone sub with the xxxtra thick gold plating and it's a marvelous watch. No warranty, dubious untested 50m supposed waterproof; but more women stare at it than any other piece in my collection. This, to me, beats a knock-off gen any day of the week.
