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.
I was thinking about a 1665 Rolex Exp2 “Steve McQueen”. Lotta loot even back then, so I got a Tiger Concept homage. Decided it wasn’t quite me, so now it’s my gardening watch!
