[jyyanks]

I'd like a Cartier Santos Demoiselle

[beaglehusky]

I'm strongly considering a Panerai submersible but I'm hoping to be patient and save up for an all-black PP aquanaut

Depending on if and when Rolex updates the 14060M and if they do update it, whether I like it or not. If I like it, I will pick it up and keep it with my current 14060M and that will probably be it for me. I will walk off into the sunset satisfied with my watch journey...........................

I'm torn between the Sub ND and the Sub C. The ceramic bezel and glidelock may push me towards the Sub C

Adam:

That's not a 'homage', it's a rip-off, a fake (and even more blatant than your Invicta).

[tattooedfagin]

Sub Hulk or, if i manage to land something big in the next 8 months to bolster the fund i'll grab a WG Smurf

[rachelroxx]

Ooh. Not good. Never mind then, I won't get one. I'd like something with a GMT.

It absolutely is not a fake. It is a look-alike. I wouldn't buy one for myself, but copying non trademarked features is perfectly legal. It's quite a different story if the watch bears trademarked features or text attempting to pass itself off as something it's not. While people would agree that the watch in question is styled after a Rolex GMT, it's clearly not trying to be a Rolex GMT. These look-alike watches are fair game, and seem to make up a significant percentage of the lower end market. And there's nothing wrong with an Invicta either, though I don't have any of them in my modest collection either. Inexpensive watches can be a lot of fun for those unable or unwilling to spend a fortune on watches. Buy what you like and enjoy it!

Thanks Brian!! I've always like the PVD GMT Homage, but I wasn't sure if the forum was alright with it. I didn't want to get it and the forum be like "It's a fake" my perspective of a fake it "Rolex" printed on the dial.

I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one sharing such an opinion here. I just happened to be the one who called him on it. He's posting designs copying Rolex IP on a forum discussing legit Rolex watches.

If you do an overlay of the 'Parnis' design over a regular GMT, it's pretty close to being a cookie-cutter copy. Ripping off a design within that level of accuracy and then removing the original designers name from the label does not equal a "homage".

If I were to purchase a Chinese iMac that was 98% correct design-wise (especially for the most outwardly recognisable parts) with an Aluminum case, but didn't have the Apple logo, it's still a counterfeit. I'm not sure why people will attempt to justify the issue with watches and give these Chinese manufacturers a free pass.

You can bet that Rolex SA considers Parnis to be a bit more than a "homage" to their work. Perhaps we could ask them for their official stance?

If it's a case of not having a budget for a Rolex, there's plenty of great vintage options in lower price brackets. There's also brands like Marathon, etc.

[skyedog]

a 60's vintage

a few choices on my list will get one if I find one here or TZ at right price

Aiming for pre-Xmas

2. Ball Chronograph - Budget $1500
3. Longines Master Collection - Budget $2000
4. Tag Heuer Monza - Budget $1500
