It’s not a bad looking watch. The ceramic colors look pretty good too.

A $600 homage watch that looks just like the watch no one here will see in their AD for two years.

The bezel colors look reasonably good. I wonder if they make it in 2 pieces, or if they somehow managed to achieve it as a single piece.

Swiss design?

It looks good in the picture, but nearly $600 for a watch of questionable heritage is a lot of money--too much, in fact.

There are too many good, solid alternatives available, including the Tudor, to gamble that much money on a BlackOut.

I was thinking the same. Does look nice, just a little too pricey.

I think the lack of availability of the genuine deal is leading some down a dark (homage) path.

Ughhhhh. No.

That’s a good looking watch. Looking at their other offerings...they basically copy/homage all Rolex models and a couple Pam’s and PP.

Not a bad looking watch. They definitely have a style they like to mimic. The platona homage looks good as well. I think the Rolex gmt will be very difficult to get and wonder if the Tudor will have waitlist everywhere because people are so sick of waiting for a Rolex they decide to try Tudor?

Oh my... For that amount of money I rather buy a nice looking Seiko or any brand with more of an original design. I guess that's what this is coming to and some out there could actually want it. Imitation is the sincerest form or flattery or what not but personally I've never seen it this way in regards to my interest.

This would be considered a homeage due to the fact that they aren't infringing on any of the trademark logos. A fake is represented as something it isn't.(like if someone put a fake rolex dial in the watch, then it would move into fake territory).

They appear to be selling branded rolex dials besides the non-branded versions, I'm staying away

How is this any better or worse than any other cheaper brand that pumps out homages such as Invicta?
