Ha! Sadly not. Still largely alternating between my modded skx013 (summer rubber natch) and Casioak.

We went on holiday to Formentera (next to Ibiza) and in one of the fancy beach areas I noticed a few. Then another on the way to work and in Radlett. Before that I think I've only ever seen two in the wild.

Maybe some are these? You can get pretty good homages from aliexpress etc

I'd be quite tempted to wear an homage if it weren't for the risk of someone mistaking it for the real thing and trying to chop my hand off.

Those are my thoughts exactly, however some are under the radar, but could still attract unwanted attention. The thing is most of these designs are blatant rip offs anyway. I'm still on the fence about them, retro Seiko homages are one thing but Pateks and the like...
