I completely agree. Tired of these so call 'homage' watches which is really another word for fake! I wouldnt wear these even if given to me. I believe people spending their money on these simply continue to fuel the fake/homage market. Either buy the real thing or not. They also do it on other high end items like LV and Burberry. Seems no company is safe.
