SMP Homage or Rip-off…

Post by Wario406 » Tue May 03, 2022 8:30 am

I continue to struggle with the difference, but there seems to be more and more “homage” watches coming out of APAC…

Nothing new. Under different labels these watches and many others are being made for well over a decade now.

I just won’t own copies and really don’t understand people who do. If I can’t afford the genuine article, I’d rather own a genuine G-Shock or Timex.

At least they didn't include the ugly HEV.

It's only 100m rated so why stress about it.

I agree with the Chef and Hoppy… Im just amazed, even though I shouldn’t be. I went through these same feelings on my Seestern. I just need to quit looking ;-)

My feelings exactly. They make it even worse by using the word "Design" in their label, meanwhile their catalogue is a 1:1 ripoff of everything in the Rolex/Omega lineup.
