I think Chinese homage watches have their place especially when needing to decide between 2 high-dollar watches and when buying both is financially out of reach. I’d buy the 2 watches from Pagani Design and wear them and see which one I gravitate toward over time and use that experience to purchase the real thing.
I was actually just thinking about this for movements. I am not sure if the mechaquartz movements are right for me but there are chinese ones for like $50
