What's an homage watch?

Essentially that your gen is a fake. But the meaning actually is much deeper than that.

Example...

People will assume your homage is a gen until they presume you bought it at Wal-Mart...if they care at all.

You mean:

People will assume your homage is a gen BEFORE they presume you bought it at Wal-Mart...if they care at all.

As you can see, I'm OCD about understanding the details. Which is probably why I'll fit in on this board, and why I'll tear my hair out in search of the perfect 1:1 that doesn't exist.

No..until. Before indicates an order of events that in themselves may or may not occur.

Fakey, you are more philosophical than I originally would have pegged. I'll have to chew on those two quotes for a while :)

An homage watch is pretentious.

No, it's not pretentious, it's correct English!
Making an invalid corection on a point of grammer may be seen by some as pretentious however.
