trailboss99 988 Posted July 16, 2009 Soooooo, homages are oke in their opinion are they? Still a copy right breach but only a little white one? Bah! That's two faced considering how they would react to the exact same watch with Panerai on the dial. Talk about spliting hairs. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 78 Posted July 16, 2009 Col: quite. Other than the legality issues, I really don't see the difference. I need to stay out of that thread btw... two watches this month despite being broke. Gotta stop for a while now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AustinTech 0 Posted July 16, 2009 I've called them out on that "no-reps but homages are a-ok" shit several times. I dont really care - it's just fun to see the hair splitting logic applied to the situation by many of the members. After everyone's had a go at me I tell them their are worse things in the world to worry about, and include links to new stories of horrible stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dude, you are getting rich off this board - don't pretend you can't afford those watches.... I wonder how many GENS you have bought with our "VIP Supporter" money?

After everyone's had a go at me I tell them their are worse things in the world to worry about, and include links to new stories of horrible stuff. Most homages ARE okay - legally. Panerai's cg is a registered trademark that's why you don't see them on the bay anymore, just Radiomirs and Luminors w/o cg's (but with screw holes) or with a weird cg just different enough to pass the sniff test. But in general I think there IS a difference. One is a counterfeit of a genuine article, pretending to be the real thing, the other (homage) is copying the design/idea without trying to pass itself off as an actual Panerai (or Rolex or whatever). It's like the difference between selling an unmarked package of hot dogs, or selling a package that says, "Oscar Myer" on it, when it is nothing of the sort... Got it?
