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
I own a Steinhart Ocean One Black Ceramic and an Omega Seamaster and a Rolex GMT Master II I love my Rolex, I like my Omega… I am over the moon with the Steinhart - for the money and the customer service (money is no object to me and my wife) - I will never spend Rolex money and will buy more of these Steinharts, they are superb!
I’m 18 and I’ve just bought a steinhart ocean one with the Kermit dial. In celebration of my first real full time job.
Congrats!

Congrats!!
@@martinc.720 thanks man. I’d love to have a Rolex but I honestly don’t think I’ll ever be able to realistically afford one. Maybe some day, but for now the stein hart is an amazing watch.
@@yuezhang4458 absolutely man San Martin makes great watches.
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!!!
You are a metallurgist so maybe you can answer to me, thanks🙏🏻

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!! ❤️
All in favour of homage watches, and would love this Steinhart. In my experience the people that are most vociferously opposed to homages are ones who use their watches as a way of showing off how rich they are and they hate the fact that people can get a v similar look for much less.
agree 100%
Plus there are so many extremely convincing fakes around that I would still be 50/50 when randomly spotting one on someone’s wrist.
agree 100%
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!
100% watch appreciater. The Steinhart looks lovely.
That’s why I buy fakes, they make me happy.
Stienhart or Lorie pepsi???
Jenni and Jeb? What is this a crossover episode?
So, what would the JebScore be on the Steinhart?
Bravo to Rolex for producing a superb homage to the Steinhart Ocean GMT ! And to you for your excellent RUclips Channel !
Rolex always coming in second
@@BuckingHorse-Bull thats what happens for decades of stealing other peoples ideas ROLEX , and not using your own movements but kidding people for almost a century using aegler movements and dennison cases ! , paying people at other watch companies for their new ideas , shame on rolex
rolex did rip a few watch companies off on their journey around a century , but hey , they came last at being first because of it (omega😃😃)
Rolex failed to make the watch water-resistant at 300 meters like Steinhart. Rolex is just 100m water resistant.
Brilliant !
I own a Steinhart Ocean One 42...and after wearing it for four years it's still an incredible watch. Levi Strauss invented blue jeans. Every time we wear blue jeans we are paying homage to Levi Strauss / Levi's. The same applies to watches. No one calls random blue jeans an homage to Levi's.
100% agree!
Levi Strauss & Jacob W Davies DID NOT INVENT BLUE JEANS!.. They Patented the Riveting of them in 1873
Blue Jeans were invented by Black Slaves in South Carolina in the Mid 1700's
True
🤮
Best thing I've heard
As long as the owner is happy with their watch, thats all that matters
Both watches are beautiful. One doesn’t break the bank and is in stock without being on a waitlist or overpaying. Nice video!
The other raises in price and Will still be valuable in 30 years.
@@othus123 Steinhart's also do quite well in the 2nd hand market.

I’ve had many Steinhart watches over the years. I still have one. Great watch. Great price and they have top notch customer service. I’ve got expensive watches and steinharts and they both sit proudly next to each other in my watch box.
The chapters in this video make it a LOT easier to rewatch certain sections of videos!! Love it, keep adding that to new videos please!
Congratulations on 50k subscribers!
Homage watches are great option if you want to wear iconic designs without breaking the bank.
Keep up the great work. I love the videos!
They are both beautiful watches and it is just as important as how it makes one feel. If I wear this Steinhart, it would make me just as happy as someone wearing the more expensive counterpart. This channel will soon have over a million subscribers!
Yay congrats! Keep making videos love. Love the homage watch, although I wonder what Rolex thinks, maybe more brand image for them? haha
My thoughts on homage are along the lines of it being the highest form of appreciation. However unless its a replica it doesn't really impact the bottom-line of the original brand because usually the target demographic is quite different.
Congratulations on 50k subscribers! Was part of the journey and willing to be again for the next milestone.
In my opinion, wearing an iconic design for the fraction of the price of the real watch is a win-win situation.
Love the content, keep it up.
I've owned a few homage watches and have always been thoroughly impressed with their fit and feel. I am fine with their presence and feel they do contribute to the community by providing certain designs that are typically unavailable to many due to price.
I always like your well thought-out & nuanced reviews. I Adore Mechanical Watches & have done so for 40 years! I am 67 now & my first "Real" mechanical watch was An Omega Speedmaster 145.022-74. I wore it for 22 years. I own 2 Steinharts. An Ocean One Vintage & An Ocean 39 Explorer Plexi. These watches " Homage" the Rolex Submariners 6200 & 5513, respectively. 6200s are VERY Rare as are 5513s with Explorer dials & i think it is crazy to pay the silly money needed to obtain one. The Steinhart Ocean 39 Explorer Plexi is one of The Best Homages i have ever seen & i adore the Elegance of those smaller Subbies. Great Video! Please, Take Care & Stay Safe!!!
Until it's a fake, whatever floats your boat is okay. One life, make the most of it.
This particular Steinhart is a superb homage timepiece 👍
Great value for money and a gorgeous looking watch.⌚
Great review and congratulations on the 50000 plus subscribers.
I can see someone buying an homage watch -particularly a lovely one like that Steinihart. I love many types of watches and can't afford some of the more exclusive ones! Thanks Jenni.
Homage watches may be the only way of some of us have his/her dream watch. And there are some good quality homage watches
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 RUclips 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 RUclips 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 started off with homage watches, and i enjoyed them and appreciate iconic design cues and offered at affordable prices. it made me pursue for the original design. they are great to play around and can be a conversational piece.
I’ve found that having an homage watch like a Squale or a Steinhart is often the mark if someone who has a passion for watches, appreciates the design, has done their research, but simply can’t afford the high price tag of the big brand names. Great video, thanks for the great content.
Can't agree more - Well said!
Loser talk
@@fylke1814 Rolex is for people who possess more money than knowledge about watches.
@@paulkoller8104 Tell that to Roger Smith - one of the world's best watch makers who wears a Rolex Explorer. But if that's your opinion, I doubt you even know who he is. Go google him and pretend you know what I am talking about in a reply.
@@rogerhambleton3012 I watched the video. He didn't choose it. He has to wear it. His wife bought it for him. Kind of proves the original point.
Congrats on passing the 50k sub mark. Am not surprised; i subscribed right after watching the first video of yours that i came across, and expected anybody who appreciated quality watch-related content from a smart, knowledgeable, charming and obviously enthusiastic presenter would do the same. Here's to the next 50k subs! 👍
Wow, love the way your camera make the Steinhart looks more valuable than it cost.. really great job!
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!
Would yo udrive and homage Ferrari? Because it's kind of the same thing, and people tend to laugh at crap like that.
Roger Hambleton if I could buy a car that was as fast and handled and braked like a Ferrari but cost €6,400 new instead of €150,000 and was called a Hambleton I’d doubt people would laugh.
@@brucedungan - you've obviously missed the point. It has nothing to do with performance but the unoriginal design. There are plenty of watches for 700 Euro that use ETA movements with fantastic original designs and unique heritage.
@@rogerhambleton3012 Rolex watches made it big by being homages to the fifty
@@brucedungan - if it looked just like a Lambo they would. If it has an original design, I guess they wouldn't.
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!
So good to see you again Jen. Great video and loving the teeshirt. Love a good homage. As you say, some do come very close to replicating exactly. Horses for courses, you buy what you like, homage or not as long as you are enjoying your watch that's all that counts 😊
I love the look and feel of the Steinhart. They're very close to Rolex's original design without being a clone. Great video.
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 agree how the homage can be a great way to have a “test drive”, given that it is impossible to find Pepsi models in ADs to try on. Great video!
I like that homage watches shows that you can still have quality for less. Also that the other companies are not using secret materials in their products. Very informative video, love the content.
Coming from a scientist, we get 20 years to do something with a patent and after that it's not ours anymore! The copy has 'no originality in terms of design' but the submariner was designed in 1953 i.e. anyone who worked on it is long retired and those working at Rolex are simply copying their predecessors work... whilst doing nothing to improve the manufacturing process to reduce the cost.
a very fresh interesting perspective on the topic. Makes the situation with Rolex seem that much more undesirable
Really interesting view thanks for sharing 😊
Very Interesting view
I agree. Saw this comment after posting mine about all jeans being 'homage' to the Levi's 5-pocket after their patent expired in 1890.
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 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 really love homages watches for various reasons: they easily can get you into the hobby and instead of fashion watches you often gets a good bang for buck. They also can be helpful if you want to get the more expensive watch, you can try if you like the look on yourself easily. And last but not least, not everyone can spend 10/15k for a watch.
Beautiful episode and images! I exactly think the same as you do: homage watches can give access to people in love with a design to certain watches to discover the look, the design and be sure that when they are pulling the trigger they are going confident!
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.
There is nothing wrong in it at the moment you know where are the boundaries concerning homage and real brand and that you are happy with what you have!
Great watch anyway and impressive finishing for that money!
loved Yr videos that are honest and unbiased. I love homage watches for reason that they bring value and quality without burning a big hole in pocket!
Congrats on 50k, 100k soon. A Batman shirt in a Pepsi video?
I don’t mind homages. Never judge anything on someone’s wrist. We can all enjoy horology.
Cool story but it'd 's fake. Fake people wear fake watches. It's obvious you're trying to convey something when you buy Homage or Replica (same thing).
Chris sssshhhhh
Chris In fairness, you’re literally judging people on material things. It’s a bad move. I’m a student so I can’t afford the “original”. You can say I’m fake if you want, I’m just living a realistic life.
@@1517the_year Only ppl who try hard to 'convey' something think other ppl do the same. It's called projection. You're on point, mate. It's all about the numbers.
@@Chris-es3wf but its not fake - its a real Steinhart.
Homages and replicas are not the same thing. The Steinhart is made for people who like the GMT Master II, but will never be able to afford it. But they arent lying about what it is - it says Steinhart right on the dial.
Replicas are meant to deceive people as if you own the real thing. A replica would say GMT Master II and Rolex on the dial.
I like the homage watches. This one in particular is very nice. Great channel and keep the great videos coming 😊
Very well presented, and explained. Looks like good value for the money, and I feel it's how you get a feel for a watch, everyone chases a holy grail, but also need a day to day watch, which you feel comfortable with. Thanks all.

904 is actually softer and therefore less scratch resistant than 316. 904 is used because it's more corrosion resistant.
I agree, 904 is easier to polish or brush and gives a better shine.
@@Fred-bt1ij There is no difference in "shine" between 316 and 904
Nicks but it's easier to get it there bc the metal is softer
@@nomansland120 I mean the 904 "shine" fades less than 316, over time.
Care to back that up with any proof?
I actually really liked this comparison since many people can't afford a Rolex, so to see them side by side really helps, great content and thanks for your channel Jenni.
I think watches like Steinhart and Squale possess their own subtle beauty and are a ridiculous bargain for the price. If you account for brands like Oris throwing in the same ETA-2824 for double the price of the Steinhart you begin to realize how much watch you're getting for your money. Thoroughly enjoy your content and the fact that it's very fast paced and engaging in contrast to other channels. Keep up the good work and cheers!
Thanks for another great video, Jenni. I must say, looking at them side-by-side, I prefer the look of the Steinhart. The one thing that the Rolex (and the Tudor GMT) offer above most others is the “jump” hour hand (traveller’s GMT), which is super useful if/when I go traveling again.
I had a Rolex Explorer II in my 20's. I bought it to show I made it. I loved it but it lost its luster for me because nobody else noticed it was a Rolex. Sold it and now have a box full of Squales and Steinharts and couldn't be happier. For me I looking at my wrist and seeing a nice watch does the trick, I don't care about the brand. I also enjoy the money I saved by going the homage route, lets me get more watches.
I just got a Squale GMT from Marc at LIW & love it. It’s running +3 sec/day!
@Arkadi Danielyan It seems like you disagree with yourself. If he is supposed to buy watches for himself, then why is it stupid that he sold the explorer? And what is wrong with reflecting on his opinions and how they came about?
@Arkadi Danielyan He said he sold it because nobody noticed it was Rolex, and then he reflected on his shift of views to the idea that a watch that makes him happy is more worthwhile than one that attempts to make a statement. His "garbage" watches are a better use of his resources from his perspective because they are pleasing to him.
👍🇨🇦
Personally I love what Steinhart produce. I have the Ocean One 500 Titanium and adore it. I also have the Tudor Black Bay 58 and did a quick comparison between the two. Great video by the way!
The array of the homage watches are immense, going from literally copies to tribute rendering works, sometimes improving from the original. In this case I like the coined edge from the steinheart and the combined ceramic bezel more than the original.
Love your videos keep it up!
For the money involved, I feel like the homage is a very good deal, especially something like the Steinhart. That is a fine watch, and most people can’t tell the difference anyway! Great video as always!!! See you Saturday!
I feel Steinhart make great watches at a reasonable price.
Love homages! A look-a-like for a fraction of the price and a decent build quality!
Jenni, love your videos! One important difference between these watches is the bezel movement. The bezel on the Steinhart is fixed. It doesn’t rotate at all. The bezel on the Rolex is bi-directional.
Tolles Video Jenni! Ich finde Homage Uhren sind eine gute Möglichkeit, um sich an seine Traumuhr heranzutasten!
Love your videos!!! I do however think that certain homage watch brands come across as cheap and can be seen as essentially a "replica" but steinhart is quite special.... They have good workmanship and quality which is something that can give us plebs a glimpse into the world of Swiss craftsmanship at a much more affordable price point!!
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!
Great video, Jenni. How nice of you to gift that beautiful Steinhart to one of your viewers. I am thinking about getting that watch. I just bought my first Steinhart, the Ocean One 39 black ceramic. As you mentioned, a lot of bang for the buck here. Congrats on your growing subscribers. Cheers!
Ah man! Missed the giveaway! Just want to congratulate you on the success of your channel. Keep up the amazing work!
Don’t be a brand snob. Not everyone has €15000 to spend on a watch that’s hard to get in the first place. I have a Steinhart Ocean One Red with an ETA movement. It’s a beautiful piece.
The vintage red is the best one in their lineup, in my opinion.
Have a few microbrands, Steinhart by far the best!
I think that homage watches are a great way of having the 'watch of your dream' on your wrist but on a budget. Guys like me will never afford 15000 for a Rolex and my only option to wear something similar is a homage watch.
Great review btw.
Great job comparing homage compared to the original design of the Rolex. I have done both, tried the homage to see if it's something I truly would enjoy over a period of time before purchasing the original. However sometimes you just know that you need to save for something you truly admire and desire. Love your videos and enjoy your broad range of topics. Keep up the great work!
Great review. I like homage watches as your beater when the real thing needs to be kept in the safe.
Love the homage simply because of it's affordable price!
An homage watch got me started in collecting! My first was a seiko sea urchin Pepsi bezel hahaha love it
Do you know a trusted place to get a homage Rolex Pepsi or other? Can’t afford the real deal sadly 🥺
@@comeon1919 sorry typo in my original comment but yea, the seiko urchin (SNZF15) is exactly where I would start again.
Its a seiko 5 sports, its already so affordable there's no clones out there so you can basically trust wherever you buy. I think I got mine on ebay new in box for ~$125.
It has a pepsi bezel, 100m water resist, display case back to see the rotor moving, and the mods are endless! You can get new bezels, sapphire crystal swaps, anything
Raj Gill thanks so much. So helpful 😊How about a copy Rolex? Any suggestions?
@@comeon1919 homage =/= copy
Raj Gill yes but I mean a copy Rolex with roles on🤓
Oh, did I get my comment in on time for the drawing? Hope so! I love Steinhart and have been looking at them recently. I like homage since it makes something special accessible and it's still high quality in this case. New subscriber- looking forward to seeing more!
Hi Jenni! As we all have a opinion, I think homage watches are great as long as they are built with quality in mind, but at a affordable price, which the Steinhart does that exceptionally! Thank You for all you work that goes into your channel! You inspire and give a glimmer of hope to the rest of us out here in the world! 🙏
Very well balanced review. Nothing beats the real deal, but I do think brands like Steinhart have a great niche they can fill as they can make the experience of owning a mechanical watch with great design heritage a reality for many people who would have otherwise have been forced to buy a real Rolex knock-off.
If someone is passionate enough about watches, can't afford his/her grail watch yet & dedicates time to find a quality homage brand as Steinhart. That person deserves respect. BTW great videos, keep up with the great work.
I disagree. To me, it says they didn't do enough research and their knowledge is limited. Otherwise they'd easily find an iconic alternative in their price range. Pretty straightforward.
@@Chris-es3wf good point however, sometimes you may not find at first appealing another watch, and if you take your time to find a company using GREAT swiss movements such as Steinhart instead of getting a fake watch, for me that's perfectly respectable and in most cases it is the first step before getting full into this hobby
So sorry, forgot to say, fantastic video and fantastic channel. Do keep up the great work Jenni!
I really love homage watches as I think it perfectly encapsulates the raw/true beauty behind the big brand watches, just in a more subtle and classy way without all the hype surrounding them.
Homage... A special honor or respect shown publicly. Thus I love the idea of the homage watch option for those that can't afford the real deal. Cheers!
It‘s not just about budget also availability. You simply can‘t get a GMT Pepsi from a dealer. At least not in germany
The only "no-no" in the world of watches are counterfit or replicas. Everything else....fair game
Agreed. Steinhart's in my opinion are their own watch with Swiss movements - they stand on their own, at a fraction of the cost of a Rolex. As one Rolex owner said "I can at least respect someone who wears a Steinhart. Someone who wears a fake - well that's a shame."
Rolex copied all sorts in the past they had touts in every swiss watch company from the 20s onwards .. The reason they had so many firsts .. rolex used movements from aegler and cases from another company beginning with D ahhh dennison they never made their own watches , crazy eh , they became a charity to avoid taxs yet didnt donate to anybody ( nobody looks through your tax records if your a reg'd charity ) true , the founder reckons ge made the name up but admitted rolls royce were the best engineers Rol ex hmm

Selling something AS a Rolex, that would be illegal. This is selling a great looking watch for a fair margin from manufacturing. Make no mistake- the Steinhart doesnt cost much less to make than the Rolex. Ok, lets say HAlf as much. Still a huge markup for Rolex.
Replicas, fakes and clones of Rolexes dilute and devalue Rolex designs, and that piss off Rolex "investors", which brightens my day
Very well explained comparisons. Keep it up and good luck with your upcoming review. Take care
I think this is a lovely watch, and for most people, a Rolex, let alone Pepsi GMT, is completely out of sight. Kudos to Steinhart for making such a nice homage for an affordable price. Thanks for the great content. I have now watched several of your videos and today, I subscribed. Cheers!
I think homages are perfect for the majority that can not afford the luxury equivalent, but still want to enjoy the design. The watch community is enormous and there is a watch out there for everyone, no matter the price tag. Great video!
In general I do no have an issue with the homage watches. It’s also weird that the “copying” others is ok between big brands, and frowned upon with less known brands.
Well it’s not that weird considering that the big brands have all contributed to originality and copying between themselves as you say means each have something to gain from one another.
The smaller brands contribute nothing in that regard.
Thank you so much for comparing these two watches. They are both fantastic. Although I can afford the Rolex, I just can’t justify spending that much money on a watch. The Steinhart appears to be a great choice for most people.
I really like homage watches when they‘re quality ones and also have a good automatic movement.
I’m open to a homage if the quality is there. I can appreciate a watch for its execution regardless of its design influence.
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!
I adore your watch reviews. Best reviewer I've ever seen.
First of all congratulations on your growing channel, its really good to see a female doing a reviews on watches for a change, homage wear it enjoy have fun with it regardless at the end of the day its what you want. Keep up the good work Jen thanks.
That batman t-shirt threw me off, I was expecting a GMT-Master II, Batman edition.
I own a Steinhart Ocean One in 39mm and am really impressed by how well it is made. Great timekeeping (+3s/d) and altogether a solid watch for the price you pay. Especially considering it comes with either an ETA or Sellita movement, ceramic bezel insert and a sapphire crystal!
As long as it's done correctly don't have a problem with homage watches. Allows me to at to my collection a bit easier. Thanks for the video 😁
I have a similar Ikea lamp that you're using in the background 😁 Nice touch!
Homage are a very interesting option for enthusiasts on a budget.
A new Rolex Pepsi is impossible to get in retail stores. It now sells between AUD $ 35,000 to 45,000 in the reseller market here in Australia. Absolutely crazy! Steinhart and other homage makers allow real people with average salary to enjoy the design without paying for a watch the price of a brand new sedan!
Bro, the Steinhart GMT doesn't even have a bi-directional bezel.

Great Review love Homage watches I have a Steinhart Ocean one that I love and wear a lot. This watch will be amazing in my small collection I have.
I have nothing against homage watches. Those served as a gateway to for me and set a clear view for my grail. At the moment I'm really drawn to microbrands which is good for that saving-for-the-grail. ☺
Great videos, Jenni! Keep them coming!
We are glad that Steinhart exist...very good watches , quality it's on a very high level at very decent price :)
She’s one of my favorite watch reviewer she is very insightful
yes, she's cute
Well she is attractive too but she has a lot of knowledge of watches and so does. The time teller
@@yesjared950 agree with you Bob
I like the homage and practically affordable... more power Jenni! - JUDE FROM PHILS.
I’ve just watched his video where you hit 50,000 subscribers and you’re nearly an hour to 150 thousand subscribers excellent well done keep the good content coming love it
Well congrats, I admire your passion for watches and I shere it with you, I love your channel! I'd love to win that Steinhart...
I see the Steinhart as a "poke in the eye" to Rolex - I like that!
There will always be a place for homage watches. Im not wearing my expensive watch in the factory, or traveling, or wrenching. But i still love the looks. I’m really happy with your reviews. (Especially with batman on). Keep it up
Great video. The first watch that I bought when I started to get interested in watches, was the Orient Oyster which is a homage of a Rolex Day-Date. I love that watch but I prefer homage watches when they are remakes of vintage watches rather than versions of current ones
