Hey, so I kinda put this together for fun to compare how the two fares against each other. The $10 homage was a watch I bought around 2 years back, I wore it through my military training so it's pretty badly scratched in some places.
It has a quartz movement and I think it's actually steel on the outside, but I can't confirm but it does feel solid. The paint is chipped off in some places but it's $10 anyways.
Here are some pics of the homage
Now let's see it side by side with the PAM 411, I understand the homage is not a homage of the 411 but I just threw this together to see the difference in build quality between the two.
The lever is attached to the case by a latch mechanism, it just goes over a protruding ledge and latches onto it. Really flimsy obviously.
It actually has a domed crystal but I have no clue what it is made of, I'm guessing plastic since mineral crystal is too expensive at this price.
I actually got that watch for fun since it's a really cheap watch and it was a quartz. Will be stored in the corner of my collection!
This brand actually makes a ton of cheap homages ( actually they're pretty much direct rip offs of branded watches ), if you want to get a watch to beat to death over a wild night of partying and flex a homage watch, get these.
Thanks for reading if you actually got this far, was just trying to throw up a random comparison since I asked in chat box and @reccon65 was interested in this.
