Thanks Gran, excuse me for beeing daft ...

But then all replica watches basically are homages... or am i totally missing the point?

A hommage never uses the original logo or trademarked names!

Its not a homage if you also copy or steal the brand name

Dvs ikke falsk men en slags kopi/approksimasjon med annet navn eller uten navn

feks rwg watch hoage to Railmaster fra OMEGA

Check out Steinhart and compare it with some rolexes iwc etc. Steinhart is a classic homage brand. Homage uses similar or identical design of a well known brand, but puts its own branding on it.

You can't go wrong with Steinhart, a 'higher grade' homage watch.

If you want a lower grade (more affordable) homage brand...Alpha comes to mind. I would venture to say Alpha is the 'internet king' of homage watches.

One shining example is the Alpha ST19 'Daytona' chronograph...the $200 china chronograph that made $wiss chronographs seem like a bad deal.

A homage IMO has some different stylings than the original.

Yes that s true.. the line between direct copy of style and homage is a difficult one

Here are two examples of homage watches. The first is the MKII Kingston, which ws a homage to the Rolex 6538 Big Crown. This is a wonderful watch, unfortunately, they are a limited edition, long sold out and the ones coming upp for sale are at about 2X the original purchase price.

Here is mine, the day I got it with the plastic still covering the crystal

Another nice example of a homage, this one is a homage to the Omega 600 meter "Ploprof" This is the Ocean7 LM-7, Another very nice watch, and a real hunk of Stainless steel!!
