Re: C60 Homage
I would say Polar Explorer and Pepsi GMT, but I think the white dial is only used on the drawing to highlight the colours used. The production model will feature a black dial me thinks.

Re: C60 Homage
Back to the point though... there’s a world of design differences between the C65 and any Rolex, whereas the Chinese watch at the start of this topic is made to look exactly like a C60.
Surely?

Close. I have assumed that it will be a white dial, but had not likened that as nod to a Polar Explorer II. The Explorer II bit being the non Mercedes straight hands, seen on the first reference black dial Explorer II.StrappedUp wrote: ↑Fri Jan 18, 2019 10:39 am I would say Polar Explorer and Pepsi GMT, but I think the white dial is only used on the drawing to highlight the colours used.

The white dial and Pepsi bezel being a nod to the very very iconic, almost as rare as a unicorn, small batch of the so called Pan Am GMT Master, that had a white dial.
However perhaps I am overthinking it!
Either way nothing like the resemblance that the watch initially referred to in the OP is to the Trident.

Re: C60 Homage
^^ Yes, the unicorn Rolex Pan Am.. There seems to be a few pictures of it around and you would need VERY deep pockets to buy one:
However, if anyone wants an homage/copy to that one, I'd suggest contacting Gunther rather than Chris.

Re: C60 Homage
sorry for going off topic but anyone know roughly when this will be due? Could be very interesting with a white face with that nice case designdowner wrote: ↑Fri Jan 18, 2019 10:12 am There were a bunch of other blue/red watches in the 1960's and '70's...
Elgin
Heuer
Tissot
Seiko
Bulova
And doubtless many more.
Is every blue/red watch an homage to Rolex? I don't think so. The accusation is that CW are 'still' copying other designs with the forthcoming Pepsi C65. We have not seen much of it yet, but other than the colour of the bezel, I'm not sure which Rolex this is a copy/homage of?

Re: C60 Homage
Since Tudor do a Pepsi (although with a dark blue), is that a homage to Rolex? That means they are doing a homage to a watch built by their own parent company...
I have two Tridents, the new Pepsi might tempt me to a third. And then we can potentially find a Chinese homage of a homage. Or something like that.

Re: C60 Homage
I owned 6105 Seiko diver homage from same company.
Well built, but since it was homage to a discontinued vintage watch I had no problems with owning it.
However, this is ridiculous.
Also they make MM300, Tuna and SKX 007 homage (later actually being identical to modded SKX with 4r36, sapphire and SEL bracelet ) and also a Hamilton Frogman homage.

Re: C60 Homage
Any item that takes design cues from another, can be considered an homage, but the links between them can vary widely from a very tenuous similarity to blatant copying. They could all be considered homages though.
For me, it's a decision made regarding quality, affordability and prestige and owning the real deal would trump any homage of the original, but of course, financial priorities might dictate otherwise.
I personally find CW watches to be excellent value given their quality and would rather pay the extra for this. Those C60 "copies" look good in the photos, but I'll wait for the reports back as to how they stack up under close scrutiny. The CW watches that I have, have been bought not only for the style of the watch, but also because they are CW.

HEIMDALLR TRIDENT C60 MK1? (real-life photo) cost USD80? or USD50?
well, not too bad...USD159, especially orange marker black version.
assume USD159 with 100% markup, the cost is USD80 in china, maybe less than that, i think USD50 for volume build 300-500pcs.

That's because the new topic / thread from this morning of 'HEIMDALLR TRIDENT C60 MK1?' was merged by The Admin Team into the existing 'C60 Homage' topic, earlier today.skimrok wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 9:54 pmIt’s the same threadgaf1958 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 10:03 am We have a discussion thread for these Heimdallr watches here, although you’ve included a lot more photos than that thread
