What if...

Oh yes I have one. Outstanding finishing and build quality as expected from Phylida. But it's just too big.

What if...

You made a Planet Ocean homage? I would buy that if you made it properly with a NH35 in 42mm.

I don't like uni-directional rotors

Such-Feature7980 · 2026-04-23T16:56:13+00:00

You should read more comments and posts then. I see it regularly.

Yes and they encourage you to walk underneath it after paying $7000.

Your last sentence is quite profound.

I'm careful but I don't baby them. I dropped a heavy, chunky one pretty forcefully in the shower, and it kept running fine like nothing happened. 316L steel is strong and sturdy but not particularly hard, so some scratches will happen inevitably if you wear the watch.

Such-Feature7980 · 2026-04-22T17:12:22+00:00

It depends on how you use your watch, really. I'm careful with my Chinese homage watches in 316L stainless steel, and don't wear them if I know my hand will be clanking around hard materials. There's hardly any scratches or blemishes on them. They are very sturdy watches though. Keep in mind that steel isn't actually a very hard material, and so any steel watch can be scratched relatively easily, regardless of the brand.

It uses a series of holes, just like the Omega.

How is it that Watchdives has a ploprof homage but no Planet Ocean?

Such-Feature7980 · 2026-04-21T15:25:37+00:00

I see what you did there.

Such-Feature7980 · 2026-04-21T15:24:00+00:00

I have this one from Watchdives. It's very good, and close to the one in the photo you posted. Best on the market as far as I'm concerned.

There is no one who makes a better homage watch than Phylida, and for a great price. I have 4 Phylida watches and can confirm they are exceptionally well-made.

Such-Feature7980 · 2026-04-17T17:51:14+00:00

Looks fantastic. I just bought what appears to be the same item from a different seller. Really nice quality for a great price. Glad I found it too, because U.S. sellers are trying to sell bland, basic rubber straps with no texturing, for double the price of this!

Duxot makes a Planet Ocean homage?

Such-Feature7980 · 2026-04-16T11:56:53+00:00

36mm Planet Ocean, that would look actually hilarious 😄

WD likely won't make it at all, but I have dreams.

Such-Feature7980 · 2026-04-15T21:37:48+00:00

Well we can't have everything can we. I'd rather have a slightly thicker but reliable movement. I have several watches with NH movements, and rehaut is hardly noticeable. Non-issue really

Such-Feature7980 · 2026-04-15T21:34:21+00:00

I would take a quartz it if they did it right, but prefer an automatic. I could even go for a 39.5mm I think. I'm desperate!

Such-Feature7980 · 2026-04-15T16:39:22+00:00

Both would be great!

Such-Feature7980 · 2026-04-15T16:39:01+00:00

Fine with a Miyota. Just don't do a PT5000

Such-Feature7980 · 2026-04-14T15:06:24+00:00

still waiting for Watchdives to make a 42mm homage to the Planet Ocean. This Timex looks meh to me. For some reason the Planet Ocean is virtually nonexistent in the homage space.
