just like clothing really, a lot of brands copy other jackets from other companies/fabrics etc. designers given a budget, go to a shop buy a jacket theyre interested in, take it back to design area ans use the pocket function or whatever (claim back on expenses)

not overly into watches myself, but if i was ever to buy one, id imagine it to be pretty simple, nice tan/brown leather strap , probably flat faced, white/cream face, thin silver needles, red 'seconds' needle, ( i know fuck all about watches :) )

reached for the secret too soon, cried for the moon.

I don't think they look that similar to be honest [spook]

strap's different, bezel's different, dials are in different places, date's in a different place. Granted hands and numbers are virtually the same though.

Is this not a bit like those odd cars you see from Korea, nicking old designs to get into the market. You glance and think it's a 10 year old Ford or Vauxhall, then realise it's got a 2010 plate and a badge you've never seen before

Absolutely no problems with watches like the Rotary pictured above, that looks very nice. Afterall, look how many watches the Submariner spawned. My problem is with 'fake' watches.

I'd love to wear a rainbow every day.

They are different, granted not a lot and they have copied the design but the branding remains different. Any one who buys rotary aquaspeed would most likely get the Breitling if they could. So no problem for me but yes its copying.
