[Question] Does anyone else use low cost homage watches to help decide between 2 high-dollar watches? (alien.top)

I think Chinese homage watches have their place especially when needing to decide between 2 high-dollar watches and when buying both is financially out of reach. I’d buy the 2 watches from Pagani Design and wear them and see which one I gravitate toward over time and use that experience to purchase the real thing.

Yes. And the other thing i was told to do which sounds bonkers but works is to look at it in a full length mirror too. Many watches are nice and many watches feel good but it can help you to judge how they look on you. Not from a vanity perspective (well, no more than in anything else), but more that you notice different things when your arm is by your side, when you're wearing a long sleeve vs a jumper or whatever. So that also is why i buy a "homage" via China first.
