Okay so this is obviously subjective but just trying to get a scope on how many is too many (if too many even exists haha)!

Disclaimer: I fully agree that fake watches are a plague on the watch community and no one should fuel these counterfeiters with money. That said: I think as long as you're not trying to lie or pretending to actually have a $60,000 Patek Nautilus that buying an homage so you can really enjoy a watch design that you love is perfectly fine. There are nuances to the argument. One being that a 1:1 is too much and companies with homage watches should change it up a little. What do you guys think? This is my Pagani. All stainless steel with a seagull ST6 automatic movement, a sapphire crystal, milled butterfly clasp and an exhibition case back all for a fraction of a fraction of the price of a Nautilus.

An old colleague got in touch. I haven’t worked with this guy for 3 years although I see him rarely at events from time to time. He last contacted me about a year ago asking a favour for some small graphics for a car. I obliged because the material costs were so minimal (literally pence) and he had everything set up ready; so no man hours. He has contacted again asking for more… I’m sure it’s not a large job but I can’t help but think… man that’s a bit cheeky. I haven’t replied yet and I’m two minds whether or not I should reply at all. Any advice would be greatly appreciated guys! David
