Clearly I am new in this homage watches...
I bought two watch a while ago from american brand Invicta. It wasnt my intention that time that this could be a homage watch.At the time of purchase, I am not familiar with the concept of homage. However, i do realize that Invicta do have watches that look like Rolex
So, I bought this two watches (at separate time)
One is Invicta Corduba Oversized and the other is the Invicta Men Force Collection Automatic Rose Gold.
When i bought the watch (both time) i didnt realize but once it arrived on my hand i realized that
a) The Invicta Corduba Oversized is quite similar to either U-Boat or TW Steel Canteen

The Invicta Corduba Oversized is a huge watch at 52mm. The build look and feel solid, but look into details you would find or feel like the case are freshly taken from CNC machine. They should have make slightly better finishing. Powered by the MIyota Quartz, it has chrono function. The dials are really beautifull, it remind me of an old railway station. Check out pic below and the link if you wish to view more.
Whilst the Men Force Collection is an automatic watch using Miyota.Pretty accurate but then again, I am not bothered with few second a day. Power reserve at 42 hours, the watch are simple awesome and handsome. The gold rose plating and the design are eye catcher. But what I am impressed most would be the soft rubber strap with unique link which make it feel so comfortable. The case is 47mm with display case back.
Both are great watches, but my question now would be ....would this be considered as homage watch??? Any comment ?
Some picture for your viewing pleasure...guess which one is which ?
