For many years I have collected watches but not having the spare income to by expensive brands like Rolex, Omega and the like, I have settled with replicas. Because of my travels to Asia for the past 25 years, I have found suppliers of various grades of replica watches and have studied the differences closely. A few years ago, I sold my replica collection and decided I wanted to move away from illegal replicas and start collecting Homage watches.
What is a Homage watch, well the meaning of Homage is a public show of respect or honour to someone or something. So in the watch world, it is creating a timepiece that looks similar to an original design but having its own brand and therefore completely legal to buy and sell.
My favourite Homage brand is Pagani, based in China and established in 2012. They manufacture their own brand and offer an excellent product available to anybody in the world direct. They even offer an OEM option where if you buy in bulk you can have your own logo put on any of their watches. I have made several purchases over the years from them direct in China and never had any issues, they also offer full guarantees on all of their products and a simple refund option if for any reason you wish to return any product.
30 Day Money back Guarantee - 36 Month Warranty

In the past few years their quality has improved to a whole new level, Most of the watches come with Japanese Seiko movements and I really don't need to explain how good Seiko are. Because of the newer movements, the accuracy of the timepieces are second to none.
Most of the current men's and women's watches are a Homage to certain well known manufacturers current models. On this page I will put images from Pagani's current catalogue which you can click to go directly to their website, here you will find the latest prices and specifications, I will also link to some YouTube videos from other creators who have done in depth reviews of the specific watches.
Keep an eye on this site for promotions which happen every month, I will try and keep this page updated with new promotions and let you know of any special offers.
This model is a Homage to the famous Rolex Submariner
Throughout this page I will be putting YouTube videos up from one of my favourite watch channels - Just One More Watch - the reviews he does are so good and he really shows the qualities of these watches at their best. Now if you want to support his channel please subscribe and you do have the choice of buying these watches through his links found in the description below his videos, a lot of his links will take you to Ali express but I am not sure they offer the same warranties and returns as my links which take you to the manufacturer, but the choice is yours.
This watch plays Homage to the most famous Rolex Daytona that was made famous by Paul Newman the actor and race driver / team owner. Currently in 2022 the original Rolex Daytona with White face is sold out and now selling at above retail if you can get one. The Pagani Homage is a lovely engineered model and you can find reviews all over the internet, I believe this is one of Pagani's top sellers at less than $100. Below is a review from Just One More Watch on YouTube. If you decide to get this model keep an eye on the Pagani website as they very often discount this model.
The most common Homage watches on the market seem to be Rolex and Omega and there is a good reason for this, They simply are the best swiss made timepieces and are probably the most sold watches around the world. The swiss movements are amazing and very hard to match in a budget watch. The best Homage watches in my opinion by far are the timepieces with a Seiko movement. The Seiko movement is brilliant and keeps great time also very cheap to repair or service. Most importantly the Seiko movements are so reliable. Pagani use various Seiko movements which allows them to spend more money on the rest of their watches looks and feel. The biggest disappointment with most Homage watches is the bracelets used however Pagani have listened to their customers and offer other choices for the customer including leather or NATO straps. Another point worth mentioning, is that some chronographs don.t replicate all Homages. This will be described in the watches description if the case.
Below is a video I think gives a great idea about watches available as Homages and worth a watch to give you an idea what's out there for sale in 2022.
This is the Pagani version of the Seiko Prospex Turtle and is a fabulous addition
to anybody's collection.
Have a look at this video, there are also another 4 or 5 videos on Just One More Watch about Turtles and variants available.
This beauty is the Pagani Tiffany a Homage to Rolex and probably the hottest watch at the moment, The secondary Rolex market on the watch is crazy, It is the right watch and right colour in 2022.
A great watch.
Pagani's Omega Homage with a fabulous reliable movement from Seiko.
One of many videos from One More Watch on Omega Homages
The famous and most bought watch in the catalogue is The Royal Oak, what a beautiful watch and so reliable, If you buy one watch from Pagani then this is the one to get.
Audemars Piquet Homage stunning, this is a must watch video.
Now to one of my purchases. The Rolex Batman Homage and I think if you want a Rolex Submariner Homage then you either buy the plain Black one or this Batman version.
I have owned this watch from Pagani for over a year and it never misses a beat.
And less than 100 dollars.
More watches to come soon.

Life back in the Uk compared to Thailand We have now been back in the Uk for 20 months and it got me thinking what has been the difference between the two countries now that we seem to be recovering from the Covid era. The biggest differences have to do with the seasons, climate and vibe. When you live in Thailand it takes about two years to get used to the heat and humidity, Our house is South of Bangkok and averages 31 degrees over the year. In summer it rises to 45 degrees and in the rainy season, it drops to about 28 degrees. Living in that heat wears you down and changes the way you spend your days, going out early in the morning and dodging into air-con rooms mid-afternoon. Here in the Uk, it's totally different as the temperatures are completely different and range from -5 degrees in the Winter to 30 degrees in the Summer. This leads me to the seasons and if I am honest whilst living in Thailand, I really missed the four seasons in the Uk. Thailand really only has two, th
Understanding the future of our resort in Thailand What does the future hold for tourism around the globe after COVID? Nobody knows really if there will be another deadly strain around the corner? So many questions and no concrete answers. How do you plan your business strategy for the future in such uncertain times? In December 2020 we opened the doors to our resort in Thailand and after 3 months we had to shut it down in first instance to foreign tourists and then 2 months later completely shut it to all guests due to COVID restrictions. We kept the staff on for a further 3 months hoping things would change but alas they didn't. Tourism is set to start returning to Thailand in mid-2022 but at what point will it get back to a normal level, and what is the new normal going to look like. So many businesses went bust and the economy around tourism almost collapsed. Staff moved away from the tourist areas and went home, resorts and hotels changed hands, Bars and nightlife areas wer
Do you Buy or Rent in Thailand, possibly buy a Condo? A question or type of question I get a lot by email on a regular basis, do I buy or rent and if I buy, what do I buy. Then can I own a property in Thailand? Rather than go into a long discussion just have a look at these videos that I made for our YouTube channel. This video has had over 70,000 views and hundreds of comments. Another great video but to my surprise only got 22,000 views. A must-watch if you are serious about buying or building in Thailand. The subject of buying or building in Thailand must be the biggest topic for a foreigner thinking of retiring to Thailand at first and then of course the topic soon turns to Visas but that is another post.
