Of course buddy, agree that it is not a hommage per say, but can´t really argue that it has not taken most of it´s design from the Rolex trieste. And also agree that a exact copy/hommage would probably not sell, as the real deal wasn´t really meant to be worn as a sports watch, rather to prove that Rolex could do it deepth wise.
Anywho, nice looking watch, and look forward to see some wrist shots
The thing which is obvious Rolf, is that this model is inspired from the Rolex Deep sea special: I posted this Helberg watch topic this last 4th februar and even made a parallel with the Germano&Walter thinking that I didn´t need to name Rolex since any WIS knows this prototype...
Yes, of course, you recognize the design inspiration who was as well used by G&Walter...
And it was told in the Oceanictime announcement as well(31-01-2013)...

"Their first model, the CH1 takes its unique aesthetic from the Rolex Deep Sea Special, an experimental watch that was first designed by Rolex in the early 50s and that later evolved to become the deepest ever mechanical wristwatch with a water-resistance exceeding 10’000 meters. "
But it seems like you been looonng gone buddy
