Nothing to hide. I paid $38,800 for it.

The asking price was $39,800. At first he refused to go below $39k, but I said I'm gonna walk away if I don't see 38 in the number. He relented.

Very heng, he could have relented and offered you..


















...$39,738.

That's really not his point, mate.

Sorry what is his point imho? I must have missed the pt.
I thought he was explaining homage? Care to explain or clarify?

Generally, homages are replicas of popular watches from big brands, but using sterile dials (and typically, cheaper movements) so as to avoid being one-to-one copies.

Some idiots however consider the assemblage of virtually identical watches as homages, when they are essentially fakes.

 

[patryn33]

You're generalising the term 'homage'. There is homage as the general term - imitation to celebrate or commemorate. And there is homage as specifically understood in the watch world - taking a design and replicating in entirety or in part, but modifying or sterilising certain elements.

And what makes you think polo tees are first sold by lacoste...

Homage - no one in the watch world can agree on the term homage.
If one is so concern with homage watch, our Burberry also pay homage to Lacoste design. Designer still put in the effort to come up with a design no? A lot of watches may homage to Rolex invention of wrist watch too. Pocket watches then? Just because we have IP or trade mark today abuse today no cool but ok back then? Or back then ppl not so shallow? They have better things to do? Worry?

From Wikipedia. Not sure if it's legit. Sorry if OT.

René Lacoste, the French seven-time Grand Slam tennis champion, felt that the stiff tennis attire was too cumbersome and uncomfortable.[3] He designed a white, short-sleeved, loosely-knit piqué cotton (he called the cotton weave jersey petit piqué) shirt with an unstarched, flat, protruding collar, a buttoned placket, and a shirt-tail longer in back than in front (known today as a "tennis tail"; see below), which he first wore at the 1926 U.S. Open championship.[2][3][4][5] Beginning in 1927, Lacoste placed a crocodile emblem on the left breast of his shirts, as the American press had begun to refer to him as "The Crocodile",[6][7] a nickname which he embraced.[2][3][4]

Thanx for OT
