Lol no worries each to their own! I guess some people like the feeling of getting close to a classic piece without the cost and being able to wear it normally...

For this piece the modded rubber feels right for me on...and the crude notching adds to it for some reason!


The feeling can never be there anyway amigo: It's like wearing a good Rolex replica...You may fool people around you but each time you look at it, you know that you wear crap.
I have some homages myself and wear them for what they are: I don't scratch them on the concrete walls, I don't dip my dials in tea and I don't hammer my straps with a pick-axe to feel like I own a vintage collector...
For your watch, I would have gone for a deep brown oiled leather set of straps: I've seen it here on some Ennebi and it looked great.
