I think Chinese homage watches have their place especially when needing to decide between 2 high-dollar watches and when buying both is financially out of reach. I’d buy the 2 watches from Pagani Design and wear them and see which one I gravitate toward over time and use that experience to purchase the real thing.
Nope, it’s more like buy the homage because you cannot afford the real deal i.e get the Maen Manhattan for $800 because you can’t swing $75k for a vintage Vacheron 2215 (and probably will never find one) so in a way the homage is OK.
