AP Royal Oak by JF vs Didun?

Has anyone purchased both a Didun RO and then a RO by JF? I'm curious how big of a quality increase is between the two watches. If the homage even has 70% the quality it might not be worth getting a JF.

Homage is horrible quality.

I would figure that, however the spec sheet seems quite nice and Youtubers praise it... I would just wish there was a direct comparison somehow to fully know

YouTubers are 99% fools that have never held a gen AP in their hands. How would they know?

Look at it. Can you live with it looking like a turd? Go get it. You won’t be able to compare it to JF let alone gen quality. That’s the point I was making. I thought it was obvious by looking at the pics.

Why dont you accept the answer of a well experienced - if not one the most experienced - member especially when it comes to AP?

Swallow that pill and order the watch and feel the hassle that comes with homages.

In the end you dont seem to have much knowledge about watches anyways so i think you would say the same thing like people on reddit. Enjoy the homage buddy!

...the reddit link you shared seems to work against your argument; the person who wrote that is in love with the watch and explicitly states he can't believe the quality.

A guy on reddit can’t believe the quality. Ok it must be awesome then.

Why are you so defensive? What's with the arrogant tone? I have a Tudor, I know a bit about watches, thank you. Not sure why you assume.

I don't "accept answers" because I want to know the truth objectively. Simple taking yes for an answer is not because I'm stubborn, but because the answer given seemed more emotional and biased rather than logical. If the JF is proven to be logically better, instead of "lol homages suk" then I can of course accept that. Simple as that.

I'm here to have a discussion, not to trade insults. If I pressed a nerve because this somehow offends you, given your tone, you should honestly come to understand that I am coming from a place of reason, not to bicker.

Thanks!

No, of course that's a logical fallacy. But to the opposite point, it hasn't been disproven by his link either.

Take a look at this video of the Didun: https://youtu.be/_t3yh3s0qU0 and while it may not be up to JF standard, it certainly doesn't seem "bad" or "shit" and the gap in quality doesn't seem that big to me.

You are asking for advice and when seasoned members tell you they think the homage watch is trash you won’t listen. Just buy that shit and wear it in good health man.

But why would I listen? I wasn't given any compelling logical advice as to why. Just, "it sucks". Surely you can understand that an argument needs to be backed up in order to be agreed on, correct? Why accept things without reason?

If you can’t see it looks like trash go buy it. Afterall youtubers love it.
