About Bewrist
Bewrist is a guide to homage watches: affordable watches, sold under their own makers' names, that copy the look of a famous original. It shows every homage the same way, drawn to true scale beside the watch it borrows from, with its price, its movement and where to buy it.
111 looks, 551 homages from 146 brands, as of 2 October 2026.
How it works
The same photograph for every watch
Every homage stands the same way: a cut-out photograph, framed alike with the dial centred, on a clear ground. That is what lets Bewrist draw watches to scale and lay one over another.
True scale
Every watch is drawn at its listed case width, measured across the case without the crown, so a 43 mm watch stands 43/41 the size of a 41 mm one. A watch with no listed width stands at 40 mm, with a dashed line that says so.
Field marks
Each look has the handful of marks that make it, such as the triangle at 12 on a Submariner. On a homage, solid lines point at the marks it shares with the original and dashed red lines at the ones it changes. "Gives it away" names the difference most people notice first.
Prices with their dates
A price is what a seller listed, in its own currency, on the date shown. The "about £" figure beside it is a rough conversion at fixed rates from 6 October 2026. Shipping, tax and the checkout total can differ, so check the seller's page before you buy.
Commission, said plainly
Some buying links earn Bewrist a commission. That never changes which watches are listed. Read the disclosure
Homages, not replicas
A homage borrows a famous design and sells it under its own maker's name: a Pagani Design PD-1639 follows the Rolex Submariner and says Pagani Design on the dial. A replica copies the name and the logo too, and pretends to be the original.
Bewrist lists homages and never lists replicas.
Independent, with some paid links
Bewrist is independent of Rolex, Omega and every other watchmaker named here. Their names and references appear only to say which design a homage follows. Nothing on Bewrist is an endorsement by the original watchmaker or a tested quality rating.

How we check the data
Bewrist builds its comparisons from sources. We use software and AI assistance to collect catalogue information and draft guides. The catalogue was last updated on 2 October 2026; prices carry their own dates.
What a comparison coversThe reference used, and what it does not prove
Each guide names the original reference used for comparison and the exact homage versions in its shortlist. A comparison does not prove that a homage copies that exact reference. When a homage follows a different reference from the one in the original's photograph, the page says the comparison is about shape and scale.
Shortlists explain why each watch belongs and what changes from the original. We compare listed dimensions, movements and design details. We have not worn or independently measured the watches for these guides. A maker's water-resistance rating does not become our test result, and a photograph does not show finishing quality or comfort.
Close, partial and loose looksHow much of the original's design a homage keeps
Close look
Our reading of how much of the original's design a homage keeps, from two photographs side by side. It names the look a homage follows, not an exact reference match, an endorsement or a quality score. Close and loose looks both stay on the page, and so do watches not compared yet.
Sources, missing values and versionsWhere each figure comes from, and what "not listed yet" means
Claims link to their sources. The source list on a watch page records when we read each page and tells manufacturer specifications apart from seller claims, reviewer measurements and owner reports. Automated checks catch missing citations and unmatched versions. They do not prove that a source supports a claim.
"Not listed yet" means we have not found that value yet. It is not zero, and the watch keeps its place on every page. Many watches so far have a name and an original and no measurements. When two sources give different values, the watch page shows each one rather than picking a winner.
One model name can cover several sizes, movements and generations. Pick a version on the watch page before comparing. A specification for one version does not apply to another without evidence, so check the linked source and the seller's exact version before ordering.
PhotographsWhere they come from, and what they cannot show
Some photographs come from the makers and the shops that sell their watches. Many are generated from those photographs and checked against them by hand, so every homage can stand the same way.
A photograph shows the design. It cannot prove dimensions, materials or finishing, and one may show a different colour or version from the one you pick. The original's photograph names the reference it shows.
Wrist fitWhat the wrist drawings can and cannot tell you
The wrist drawings set a watch's listed sizes against the circumference you give them. They ignore wrist shape, curved lugs and how a bracelet hangs, so treat them as a size guide. Watch size for your wrist uses the same wrist across every look.
