Must...be...patient...

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...........................

You really believe it that you will be done?

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

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

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.

Something worth a look is the Seiko Navigator GMT, its a very cool vintage Seiko that has an inner rotatable 24H bezel and a 24H hand, giving the GMT functionality but with a distinctly unique look and style.
