Re: Borealis Medusa
While I can see where you are coming from, some watches that are cheap ''homages'' are not so far away from the real one in quality, that you are paying 10x the price for in many cases. Like getting shafted from behind without the courtesy of a reach around.Ryeguy wrote: ↑Fri Jul 28, 2017 10:29 amIt isn't the person who has one micro brand homage watch that grates me that much. It is the person who has a collection full of micro brand homage watches.
It is the difference between the guy who has one Tiffany song in his playlist because its a catchy tune and makes him smile versus the guy who buys the entire Tiffany album.

Well, in defense of the shafting community, the "reach around" does require a bit more effort. Hence, the additional cost. I learned this while doing my reading on DGF (Disc Golf Forum) last week.

Re: Borealis Medusa
I'm not sure if the Chinese watch catalogs have a "reach around" option.

Yep. I was thinking Puck meets Helson Turtle. Ugly.
