Just a quick video comparing a PP Nautilus to a high-end replica. Such wasted potential.

It would be really cool if they channeled this into something not a replica. As you said, wasted potential for sure.

What are the odds that some of these replicas are made side by side to homages?

Wasn't there a really big hubbub just a few months ago about some guy who made high-quality, well-regarded homages also making fake submariners?

I recall something like that. It was like 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon stuff where this fake producer was somehow tied to some dude in Philly and someone's name was dragged through the mud and all related to a brand starting with "G" or something. It was like a whodunit murder mystery... :roll:

Ah the Ginault controversy was certainly interesting.
