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.
Everyone says “try it on at the AD” but you can’t walk out and see how that watch fits into your daily routine. Nor try on different outfits with the watch at an AD. I think dropping $100 on an homage watch to “test drive” it with your daily routine and different outfits is a reasonable cost when some of these watches go for $5,000+
