An homage to homage watches

I have some very nice vintage watches and am particularly fond of my 1950s - 1970s styled Omega, Longines, Seikos and Hamiltons.

So that’s the style I like but, I also admire similar Rolex and Tudors.

I’m retired and spend a lot of time walking my dog and sitting in an armchair with my crossword so I’m entirely happy wearing a beater, preferably automatic but sometimes quartz.

I came across a number of Explorer homages but opted for a marginally more expensive Kraken. For the cost of the Rolex, I could have bought approximately 200 of these.

I’m tempting providence by asserting that I’m sure footed ((winter mud not withstanding) and regard London, where I live, as a safe place, despite assertions to the contrary.

That said, if I break it, lose it or if a naive thief sees me brandishing my lookalike watch, then my self imposed budget would still cover another 199 of them 😀

Don’t worry. I’ll actually take it off my wrist and give it to them 😉 it’s not as though it’s either valuable or irreplaceable

Despite the comments of various transatlantic luminaries, London is a very safe city, we don’t have Sharia law and, in any event Swatches are ugly. I’d much rather have a Timex like that worn by @Lou P 😀😀

Although a Scofflaw might mistake any watch for another
