Completely agree, but I really struggle with homages.
In the early days of Christopher Ward I bought a C60 and loved it, but as my appreciation of watches has grown I've found myself becoming less attached due to the similarities with Rolex divers, not because I dislike the style, but because my perception of it has changed - I find it less honest (really difficult to describe).
For me, I've yet to find anything that ticks my genuine/authentic/quality/styling/practicality boxes beyond Sinn, hence quite a few are at the top of my list.
Totally understood. That’s why I linked you to the Bulova. Genta designed the RO for AP (and incidentally the PP Nautilus), then went on to design the Bulova, so it’s fully authentic. There are other examples of this happening if you hunt around
