Very well said, I think if we look at bigger brands which make re editions from their own watches they most look very similar but always a bit different for example Heuer Monaco or the coming re edition from the Omega Ploprof ( I mean the one from Omega)
I really like the first re edition from Doxa the 300T, you can see the inspiration from the vintage 300T but it has got something own.
I see it as a problem that the actual Planet Ocean got its inspiration from the SM 300 ( there is not so much difference imo) and that means a SM300 homage could cause some problems with Omega.
So what is it what you like at this watch or what could be made different and you will still love it?

Well, IMHO there's no foul in paying "tribute" to a classic design. True IF money was no object I would acquire the original in most cases, but it is and I can't. As we all know and certainly don't mind paying homage to the Submariner, 50 fathoms ect. IMO a copy is a fake with the original makers name on the dial. A homage is a sincere tribute to a classic Grail watch that "average"WIS can wear and enjoy.
