I utterly despise fake watches, and think the only fitting place for one is under the swinging arm holding a substantial lump hammer, and which I would gladly perform as a pleasurable task!!!!

I do NOT consider a homage watch to be in this bracket one iota. A homage watch is clearly marked as to what it is, with the new makers name on it, but just in the style of an old watch with more usually a more modern movement. That is not a fake. If anyone presented me with one of those blatant attempts to copy a Rolex for example, with a fake Rolex name on it, I would smash it flat to the freaking ground with the very greatest of pleasure!!!!!!!!!

I think blatant fakes are utter contemptable [censored].

As you can see.................I don't sit on the fence with issues like this!!!!

Here is a poster re-thinking his position on homage pieces...(he bought the Steinhart Nav B-Uhr Pilot) an obvious homage to the IWC Big Pilot and all the early Fliegers.....

"..... I mainly collect Omegas and Rolex and after buying this watch, it does make me wonder exactly what we spend the extra $$$ on when making a watch purchase from prestige houses...."

Funny how poster-Griff just couldn't stop bashing the homage pieces....and how this poster over on the watchuseek forums is questioning his own omega/rolex purchases...

Well that was back in 2003 !!! Perhaps his point of view has changed over the last 4 years...
