I prefer to think of it as a homage instead of a knockoff. It gives me a great sense of what to expect when I do get a sub in terms of size, knocks, dings, etc.

Like I said, I know it's not a sub, and it certainly doesn't come close to the quality and build of my Precision, but I like it and that's what counts to me.

My Rolex is vintage, it's an entirely different experience of a watch. A 1952 manual wind masterpiece with exquisite history. Someday I hope to have a sub with similar attributes.

I'm sure there are things that you like that others may think are glorified items also.

Be well...

Cheers,
B.
