    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 am talking about Steinhart watches that use an Oyster bracelet.
      Please look at the Tissot Seastar 2000: his bracelets is amazing!!! Its a jewel!!!

    I’ve owned Rolex, Patek, AP, as well as Steinhart, Invicta, etc. Financial concerns will always create the demand for homage type watches, and I think their availability is actually a positive for the industry as a whole. Keeping as many people interested and actively participating in buying and enjoying timepieces, regardless of their income, is nothing but positive. Rolex will always be a grail for collectors, and they do not lose sales because of sub-$1000 watches. Love your videos Jenni!! ❤️

    A “good” watch is one that brings a smile to its owner’s face. Maybe it’s out of a sense of pride, accomplishment, or simply because he or she likes the watch. An homage, an original, or something in between can generate a smile. At the end of the day, there’s room for all watch collectors. Put another way, “live and let live!” Great video, Jenni and congrats on 50k subs. Well-deserved!

  • @justinfenning2402
    @justinfenning2402 4 ปีที่แล้ว +26

    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.

    I have great appreciation for homage watches, especially one that emulates one of the most classic watches of all time, the Pepsi Rolex GMT-Master. The Steinhart pays respect to a great watch created for Pan-Am pilots in the 1950’s and remains one of the most sought after watches by enthusiasts. Although strikingly similar to the GMT-Master, the Steinhart is clearly not a Rolex but beautiful nonetheless.

    I love good watches, and I love watching your channel, and I admit, I just subscribed mainly because I am one of those who rarely subscribes to anything for fear of being "watched", HA! Get it? Being "Watched"..... I love your channel because you are casual and you are not showy or flashy. You just tell it how it is. You are "real", not fake. This is a talent not many on TH-cam have, but you have it. Now, as for the homage watches, I want to say this, that I saved and saved in order to buy the James Bond watch, the Omega SeaMaster Automatic in Blue and I love it -love it -love it. It was expensive, but I get many compliments and I feel differently when I wear it. It's strange how a beautiful watch will make me feel important. Someday I will pass it on to my son because he loves it too (he loves to remind me that I once said that). I love companies that put in the hard work of coming up with beautiful design ideas that are so breathtaking, innovative and durable that they become "timeless" icons and other companies want to emulate them. In my mind, it's kind of like how Hyundai emulates the BMW and Mercedes Benz in their designs. What I appreciate about companies like ROLEX and OMEGA is that they go beyond and they layout vast sums of money to sponsor hard working athletes, enormous sporting events, or putting on fund raIsing productions for the poor and needy and that is something you will rarely see the homage companies do. At the same time, I understand that there are many people who cannot afford a beautiful ROLEX or Patek Philleppe. And that is why I support the idea of homage watch manufacturers, as long as they do not attempt to copy every detail and make fakes. I would love to be the winner of your contest and go on watching your TH-cam videos and spread the word to all my friends who also love watches (which is all of them). Thank you for the opportunity. You are a nice person.

    I am really enjoying Homage watches, as they open the market to established luxury designs to people who are into watches but not necessarily have the budget to go for the originals that came up with the design. Our art teacher always encouraged us to copy in class, because nice art brings joy to people, so spreading that joy is a good thing :)

    I have a Steinhart Ocean One, I have had Tudor, Rolex and other makes but I have to say I get the same pleasure of wearing my homage watch as I did with the “Real” thing! You cut your cloth to suit your finances and I suppose it’s a great watch for the price point and allows those who can’t afford the price of Rolex to have the same “feel” of wearing a similar looking watch!

    We all love the Rolex designs, they're timeless and function great. In recent times the prices of Rolex (new and used) have skyrocketed, they have become unattainable for most people. So what do we do when we want to see a certain design on our wrist but can't afford it.. we buy homage watches. And I have to say Steinhart makes the best! The quality you get a that price point is amazing. I have held an 'Ocean 39 Ceramic' in my hand and I have to say they feel absolutely solid, especially the bracelet. Love your video as always. I'm pretty sure you'll be at a 100k subs in no time, well deserved!

    Plus, not everyone can in a life spent that money to get their grail watch so it permits to some people to live their dreams at their level.

    316L contains more carbon and does not contain the soft alloy copper.
    316L is the superior metal for watches when it comes to hardness.
    904L is more resistant to corrosions (water, sweat etc ....) but is softer and hence you need to get it polished more often :)
    316 L Stteel: 0.03 Kohlenstoffanteil (Carbon), 0% Kupfer (Cooper)

    They both have a spot in my collection and they both fill totally different purposes. I work at a kindergarten and I use my Steinhart as a daily beater, since it sometimes can become quite rough when playing around with 17 children all day long 😂 I find my work to be the perfect place for a homage watch, that’s sturdy and of good quality in itself and does not cost a fortune so that I can easily play around and bash it without worrying about damaging it.

But hey, if you like wearing something made in a Chinese sweat-shop for a fraction of the cost you paid for it, and pretending that it’s something that it ain’t, then good for you 👍 I really don’t understand why you keep writing the same thing over and over? 😂 Sure, you paid $500 for a cheap replica, and you think you got a “sweat deal”. And ok, in your own world it looks the same... 😳 But in my world, it doesn’t matter if it’s the best replica in the world, it’s STILL NOT A ROLEX 😂 Doesn’t matter how hard you try, you’re still wearing a fake... It’s the same thing with the Adidas-pants we all wore in high school. There were a lot of guys wearing fakes. But we all knew who wore fakes and who wore the real deal.

    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?

    I bought a Steinhart gmt about 8 months ago and although I have enjoyed it I can't say it has captured my heart. I was drawn to it originally because of its obvious resemblance to the Rolex but certainly didn't want a copy. The Steinhart quality is topnotch especially for the price but at the end of the day it is not the watch I really want. I won't be selling it but I suspect it will be the one and only homage watch in my collection. Good work with your views and reviews and keep it up!

    Nice review! Very informative. A friend of mine who is a Jeweller has and GMT with a Pepsi Ceramic. Will always go with the original Rolex. It also increased in value since he bought it which was 4 years ago. I guess if you don't have the money you could always get a Replica Rolex for much less than 640 Euros as well.

      @@NAMICA.Watches Yeah yeah definitely not a replicate was more trying to give an extreme example. I wouldn't also be inclined to fund someone whose business model is to create an exact copy of something change the logo and start marketing it. In my eyes I see it wrong. If they would have kept the same style and gave it their own twist I wouldn't have any issue with it. Just my thoughts.

      @@NAMICA.Watches I personally can spot the differences. Anyone can do whatever you want but when you are getting something like the copy, usually the copy has a lower build quality. Now if the price difference is something you want to pay for that additional quality that a lot of people cant notice is a different question.

      Certainly an option one can consider...
      Not sure I would go for that though

    Homages are fun once they aren’t trying to be a replica, but they’re no replacement for the original
