Yes, what SM1 said. Lots of popular watches these days are homages, including the super popular BB58. As the bowl leader has mentioned in other postings, vintage watches are cool but also a pain for real world wearing. So if you like vintage style, but want something that both works and isn't absurdly expensive, get an homage.
An example to make my point. The James Bond big crown sub, ref 6538, is an iconic and sought after piece. If you can find one it will A) cost you $100k+, and B) be rather delicate because it's 60 years old and keep crappy time. Or you can get an MKII Kingston (pic attached) for ~$1k that looks very similar and is a really nice watch, similar to Monta quality.
Something that looks like a modern submariner with someone else's logo does not appeal to me. Way too many cool original watches (or vintage Homages) in the $300-750 range to spend the money on a sub copy.

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA

A lot of knowledge on here so asking for some help. It’s my partner’s birthday and I’ve no idea what to buy him. He’s a watch fanatic - Pateks (sports and dress), Audemars (sports and dress), Rolex (sports), Omega (sports).

I’m obviously not buying him a watch for his birthday (in his dreams!) but any idea for some good accessories? He’s already got a PP watch winder, and has bought multiple nice straps for the dress watches. I’m completely lost.
