Yesterday I saw a picture of the Debaufre Ocean-1 and fell in love with the watch immediately and this is maybe because many years ago I had a Submariner that unfortunately got stolen. I am not wanting to spend too much on my watch hobby anymore, so I ask all...what may be considered as the best homage watch for the $$ invested? We all know the price for the R...x, and the Ocean-1 goes for about $500.00, but I would like suggestions with approx. pricing and pictures if possible. I would prefer automatics but Quartz is OK. Pricing by bracket would be fine $0 to $100, $101 to $200, etc... Mind you, I am not looking for any fakes, just for Homage or look alikes with their own appropriate brand.
If I remember right, josejmarti, your avatar was an Aztec design or something? Anyway, welcome aboard or welcome back
Aside from the Debaufre' you mentioned and the Epos and MKII also mentioned by William and Murphy J, I'd like to suggest the Seiko SBDC 001, the black Sumo. It's built slightly bigger and slightly heftier than the R**** Sub and has been reviewed with high marks. It's made in Japan and sells slightly north of US$560.
If you're not comfortable with this brand or going Japanese, I'd say go Debaufre' at the price point you're already comfortable with. Hope this helps.
