I think Chinese homage watches have their place especially when needing to decide between 2 high-dollar watches and when buying both is financially out of reach. I’d buy the 2 watches from Pagani Design and wear them and see which one I gravitate toward over time and use that experience to purchase the real thing.

    I feel like this would be a viable strategy if you’re mostly considering external appearance factors and congruence with one’s regular outfits. The authentic watches that homages imitate might appear similar, but they feel markedly different (in terms of heft and the differences between their internal workings/movements) from their homages.

      Not true on the Cronos GMT vs Rolex GMTMaster2 really. (But, you do get from from China @ $275 than at $125.)
