Homage arrived

I know some of you do not like homage watches. That's okay, I happen to like them so long as they are not a ripoff of the original. This one is a Crepas Cayman 3000. It's a Spanish brand, very nice quality fit/finish. It uses a Top-Grade ETA 2824-2. This one is a beast at 44.5mm bezel, 44.5mm case and 16.9mm thick (although it's not quite as big as my Armida A1). It's a bit larger than its inspiration. The Armida looks like a brute and this one looks more sophisticated - polished case, faceted chrome hands and brush/polished BOR bracelet. The prop logo is under saphire and is lumed which is cool but useless. More useless is the 3000m depth rating. Useless, in this instance is still cool. Also has a heavy nylon strap, a Jacobs leather strap and an additional standard dive clasp to compliment the butterfly clasp installed, a couple of screwdrivers and a nice wooden box.
The daylight was gone by the time I got it, so I had to make due with electric light. And I didn't think to wipe off the dust/prints for the pics.
