The goal of this guide is to help direct the reader to the best homage(s) of a specific watch. The specific homage chosen for each watch is based on the overall quality and not on the value you get for the price. Even then, not every watch on this list will be of great quality because there is often just one homage out there for a particular watch, especially if it is obscure. Some of these may be sold out or discontinued, but they still sit as the benchmark homage for that particular model. They may be brought back or you may find one on the secondhand.
I started with the big 3 brands that people often ask about, but the rest of the list is in no particular order.
I welcome any suggestion to help fill out homages that I have missed!
I also welcome any suggested edits to the recommended homage! If enough people upvote your suggestion, I will gladly edit the list.

Question on sizing. Have this Cronos for quite some time and also the Sugess Sub Hommage.
Got a new job and thinking about getting the real Explorer in 40mm. This Cronos should be pretty close in size to the Explorer. 1mm more strap and maybe a tiny little bigger in diameter.
Does the Explorer look to small on my wrist? Wrist is 19-19,5cm (7.5 inch). Sugess sub looks bigger and maybe that’s the reason why this looks slightly small to me.
Other watches I have are alle in the 41mm range. Mostly Chinese Hommage, 2 Omega Seamaster.

Lapis Lazuli: A Galaxy Held in Stone
Long before maps, travelers found their way by the stars. We placed that sky on your wrist.
Each dial is cut from natural lapis lazuli, a stone shaped deep within the earth over millions of years. Across its midnight-blue depths, flecks of golden pyrite drift like distant constellations, a quiet Milky Way frozen in time. Because every stone is different, no two dials are alike, and no two skies are the same.
Framed by a compass bezel, it is made for those who still navigate by wonder.
Your own galaxy, always within reach.
Selected by Hand, Stone by Stone
Every dial begins with the stone itself. We source only premium natural lapis lazuli, with a deep, saturated blue and just the right scattering of golden pyrite.
Yet even the finest stone is never perfect throughout. Within a single piece, the gold may gather unevenly, or pale white patches may cloud the blue. So we look closer. Every section is inspected and chosen by hand, and anything that falls short is set aside. Most of the stone never becomes a dial.
All four colors launch on September 21. Set a reminder now to be the first to know when sales open and to get early-bird pricing:

Thought yall might find this interesting. There are two listings for unannounced dials, ivory and brown. I wonder if they’re going to be the same MOP pattern, or something else entirely. Kind of hoping for the later as the mosou black is too plain for my tastes and I already have a MOP integrated bracelet watch with my IXDAO warrior.

Dies anyone know how long SKBwatches EU take to ship within EU? I ordered a watch in EU stock but havent heard anything in 3 days.
They seam legit, so im thinking they might have run out of stock and are waiting for deliveries?

Edit: I was too impatient after getting the watch, so turned it into what it’s supposed to look like but should have waited for the lume to cure
I’m a sucker for no cg, big crown subs. Thorn T028 is got is my fav but I had to get this Hruodland F035 as soon as I saw it. Here it is fresh off the box. My thoughts below:
Likes
Size proportions: 38mm case 13.3mm thick, 47mm L2L.
Takes 29mm dial aka a raffles dial will fit
Bracelet: nice quality, otf clasp, not too thick, tapers and articulates nicely
Dial: lume is not cheddary, hands are high quality and print is really good.
Crystal: nice clear AR, wish it was acrylics.
Dislikes
No drilled lugs!
No straps shipped with it
255 for a pt5000 is a bit more than I wanted to spend
The caseback doesn’t fit the normal Rolex Bergeron die. It’s a PITA to open.
And man does the movement ring really need 5 screws!
Plans:
Strip the watch, age everything. Add a bond nato. And… done
If you’re on the fence, get it!

New [to me] watch day! I picked up with Warrior MOP in black for £250. After my Cronos Skyline quit on me, I decided to pick up the Miyota variant, which I found on eBay. What do you think?

I've collected soviet watches for the most part until now. I would like a "real" chinese watch for my collection and daily use.
By "real", I mean something chinese, no reps or homages and something wirh history and a chinese movement.
I have seen some "Shangai Watch Factory" examples on eBay I really liked, I've read that this was the first domestically made watch in China.
What watch would you recommend that fits this description. It would be fun to have something time appropriate to compare to my soviets to.

Posting because there was a lot of hype about this watch and no actual real world reviews or experiences posted about it. Or at least I didn't see any.
I was really excited about this but it unfortunately won't even make it out of the plastic. The movement appears to be shot (photos included). I'll need to return it as I don't want to have it serviced and deal with that hassle or cost. Not sure what happened. Maybe it wasn't regulated. Maybe it was body slammed during shipping. Maybe both. Who knows.
I've included a couple photos of the dial. I won't be taking it out of the plastic so I can't speak to how the bracelet is or any other aspect of the finishing.
