I have seen this subject beaten to death. I own two original Rolex, two 1960s Daytona, of which one is an original Paul Newman. So, probably a 100kUSD watch in today's market. Yet, I just purchased a Steinhart Ocean Once (and used!) and enjoy it immensely. No reason today to dish out 15k euro at once, when what many like me are seeking is to rotate watches on their wrists going for different looks every few days. Steinhart has 99% of the looks, great quality at un UNBEATABLE price. Rolex found the proper look for a manly watch - took them decades - I don't see the need to re-invent the wheel each and every time and, contrary to what you are saying, Jenni, I DO see value in copying - quality copy - such amazing design. Though I DO own Rolex as pointed above, I would never, ever buy a Submariner for 15k euro today .Thanks for the presentation - it helped me illustrate better my point where the Steinhart kicks ass

Jenni, as a metallurgist, I have to correct you here. 904L steel is not more scratch resistant compared to 316L. It has better anti-magnetic and anti-corrosion properties. 316L is actually harder than 904L. 904L steel feels shinier because of the higher amount of chromium compared to 316L but also be aware that 904L contains more nickel. So, if you're allergic to nickel, go with titanium (316L also contains nickel, though lower than 904L).

Hi man, I would like to buy Steinhart but their bracelets seems to be cheap, I mean, it seems to me that their bracelets don’t shine, it’s just an impression? They use a steel that don’t shine?

I honestly think that homage watches really are a great way for regular, everyday people to wear and have the look of something that is unattainable in reality. Not many people can go spend $10k plus on a Rolex but many can go out and get a homage that still functions beautifully and gives you that expensive, classic look of a GMT MASTER 2, Rolex Sub, or even an Omega Speedmaster. These pieces aren’t fakes they are just the reality pieces for an average Rolex or Omega or any expensive watch lover. These homages expand the watch community to not only those who have an unlimited budget but to those who have a tight one. These people still love a pretty watch and for the price and features of a homage... it just cannot be beat!

Why would Rolex wish to allay expenses? Have you ever seen Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Chanel or the likes having promotions or wishes to cut cost so as to make it more affordable? No. Why? Artificial brand prestige. Tbh these Brand all have something in common making smaller and less premium items to target groups of people that wishes to enter luxury market with a “ statement “ piece. It’s actually marketing 101 no “luxury” brand would ever reduce their price ever. During the pandemic in March, Chanel and LV reopened in China after China successfully controlled the pandemic and they thereafter increased the starting price of multiple products. It does not make sense financially, but brand prestige and “luxury” a statement piece are all things that influence people to purchase luxury items even during the pandemic to show they are well off. Humans are way more superficial than you think. So Rolex being a cheap entry watch to the world of luxury the last thing they would wish to do is lower their brand recognition/ prestige. Any non watch people would recognise Rolex as a symbol of success. Not everyone would be able to recognise grand SEIKO which makes fabulous good priced pieces. Why? Rolex brand recognition has been deeply ingrained into everyone for being reliable, no fuss and a status symbol for those who just made it in life. Everyone is willing to pay for the price it’s least of Rolex concern to sell at a lower price. To lower ones price is akin to setting up for customer thinking that promotion would be around the horizon that’s the last thing any brand would wish to do if they wish for brand prestige.

Although strikingly similar to the GMT-Master, the Steinhart is clearly not a Rolex but beautiful nonetheless.

In all the decades I've been wearing watches: Omegas, Hamilton, Seikos, Casios, Timex and yes homage watches including a Steinhart Sub and GMT, never, not once, has anyone commented on my watch. 99% of people are to oblivious to notice. Of the 1% of people that do notice, 99% won't mention it. It's only that rare breed, the watch geek that will (a) notice, and (b) actually say anything to you about it. So don't worry about any potential embarrassment of having to respond to "Is that a real Rolex" with "no, it's a Steinhart/Parnis/Tisell/Squale/etc/etc." Odds are it'll never happen!

@@susfu4988 No I'm not worried - I wouldn't be remotely embarrassed by ANY watch I chose even though as I'm pointing out people regularly do care about what others think. I too have been wearing watches for many years and although this is a hypothetical situation it does actually happen. My comment is on the reaction of the wearer which is often telling. 1.Many homage wearers do because they can't afford or aren't willing to pay for luxury brands and are happy with their choice. 2.Many fake or replica wearers are obviously trying to deceive and will if they can. 3.Many Rolex wearers I've come across are disappointed that people often think their extremely expensive watch is a fake anyway. At the end of the day I love watches and I realised a long time ago that they can be enjoyed at ANY price point so each to their own. ✌

Homages are not only an easy way to get pieces which are very expensive but the most important of all: they help people to get into the hobby and they are very very funny! Collecting it's not about brands but having fun loving watches, designs and stories and not everybody has the wallet to buy the "big deals"...

I look at them pretty close to how you describe as a "trial" watch before blowing away thousands on a real deal. Another aspect for me is that for about one grand I can get myself a small selection of pretty decent homage watches (consider I can spend a long time to do research on what is the best brand for the money, which often the answer is San Martin), to mix it up and suit my mood better. Another nice thing about them is that you don't have to be so afraid of them, but at the same time you do learn to subconsciously learn to be weary of it being there (like for instance when doing some really dirty or rough work, or just in general not bang your left wrist on any metal surface). And on a different note, I am a huge fan of watches, and I constantly dream of Omega, Rolex, Patek, etc, I would not actually purchase one at this point in my life simply because it wouldn't pair well with my income or savings. Instead I would like to have a small carefully selected collection with a mix of everything from Rolex homages to more original designs from Timex, Citizen, Seiko, etc that are in the same pricerange. And this is also why I think the Bulova Lunar Pilot is a blessing for someone like me, because even though I could just drain a huge sum of my savings on a Speedmaster, this Bulova is a good option, and I don't even feel like it's a cheap replacement of a Speedmaster, rather a watch with it's own history, it's own unique design, and frankly a good looking piece. The big, black dial does in my eyes reminds me of the dark emptiness of space, and it even makes me feel lonely when looking at it, and I like that feeling because I think that's how the astronauts would have felt it too when being alone and so mindblowingly far from the rest of the human race. And on a last point here about homage watches. And this is more a question based around a critical observation: Why would a $250 Chinese Daytona replica be considered a homage, whilst something like Tag Heuer Autavia is not? I have seen homages of other popular watches which also have done several huge design choices that differ them from their "original", just as TH has done, but they are still considered homage watches? Is it simply because of the different price and movement of the Tag that makes them not a homage?

@@EpidemikE1 @zaf240489 look up the definition of homage and you will see that the BB58 is an homage to the old Submariner references. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homage_(arts) """ The term is often used in the arts for where one author or artist shows respect to another by allusion or imitation """ Even on the Tudor website it is stated that they where inspired: """ the Black Bay Fifty-Eight features a dial inspired by the TUDOR divers’ watches of the 1950s. It adopts the characteristic angular hands known to collectors as snowflake, that appeared in the brand’s 1969 catalogue. Finally, the large winding crown, characteristic of the first generation of TUDOR divers' watches to be waterproof to 200 metres (660 ft), is also presented in this new model.

I look at homage watches the same way I look at kit cars that were designed to be raced and probably destroyed on a race track. Would I ever take a 1965 Shelby Cobra to the race track? No, never the surviving Shelby Cobras are extremely expensive and rare. However, I would take a Factory Five Racing AC Cobra kit car to the track any day of the week and race the car like the original 65 Shelby Cobra was intended to be treated. Do I ever see myself wearing a Rolex 126710BLRO as it was originally intended to be worn as being steel Rolex Sports model? At the current prices? never. It would be a safe queen or instantly flipped to buy the Steinhart GMT and to pay off the rest of my student loans. The Steinhart GMT in this video is my Cobra kit car. I would wear it as it was meant to be worn, it would probably never leave my wrist for the foreseeable future.
