    I’m not comfortable with this devision between “wearing homages” and “I stay away from them”. It’s all around the hobby. Why oh why shouldn’t I enjoy both worlds at once? I own pieces from well established and rich with history brands, I own vintage and new, I own expensive ones and very cheap ones, I own homages - I love watches, I buy what attracts me and picks my interest, and then I wear and enjoy them.

    Thanks for a funny video. Seems we all go through our phases in watch collecting and dabble in some of these personas tangentially.

    A compliment on a watch I’m wearing, is what it is. And it is a very nice and rare feeling (because most people don’t give a dam about it🤷🏼‍♂️), and it got nothing to do with the price of said watch. Someone mentioned it because it was attractive, or interesting, or it fits your look perfectly. It very well could be a 100$ piece, a 300 one or a 3000 one- it feels the same for me, because I appreciate and love all my watches.

    Thank you for your thoughts. I have an older Rolex 2-tone GMT Master that I seldom wear. I think it's too ostentatious, or maybe because I'm only it's caretaker and it really belongs to my wife. I'd much rather wear my Omega Seamaster 300 Professional, Seiko Alpinist SARB017, or RDUNAE Captain Willard homage (GASP!). I also have an F91-W somewhere around here and a few other watches, too. I meet some ROMEOs (retired old men eating out) weekly for lunch. There are 18 of them. I'm sure all of them could afford a Rolex, however, only six-ish wear one.
