alterego Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I started a thread on genuine watches that "copy" famous watches designs as a marketing strategy a couple of days ago about. The feedback contained in the comments to my question suggest that many of us own genuine watches that are inspired on horological milestones costing a fraction of what we'd pay for the original icons. For examaple, this version of the Roloex Yachtmaster by German manufacturer DAVOSA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) I agree, there quite a few makers of similar submariners about also. Edited March 12, 2013 by SSTEEL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamcky2k Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 helson do a wicked seamaster 1000m and 600m ploprof homage called the sharkmaster, acrylic lumed bezels, spot on looks etc, ive owned both a while back and they were awesome. both come on mesh and rubber as part of the package. (pics from google) also pretty much every watch rotary do is a homage/copy of something...heres the chronospeed model for around £60, its a navitimer copy and looks pretty good on the wrist, i've had a few but always end up giving them away as gifts...

lhooq Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 And one I've not seen but is really great looking that Bulova, do you know the model no During my readings, the number "4420101" comes up often. Looks like an early-80s homage that you should be able to pick up for less than a couple hundred dollars. There was also a listing a couple years back from an RWG member who wanted $4000 (!) for one. Faintly ridiculous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
