I don't find differences in the appearance nor the quality of watches as a big factor in "this company versus that company" debates. It's the
immorality of the clear intent to deceive the public into thinking that the models are what they are not. Unlike our host, who makes "hommage" watches without trying to fool us into thinking they are issued, etc. As you can see above, I was fooled more than once when I first started. That's why, in a fit of pique, I sold my sterile-dialed Traser 6506 Titan Commander - arguably one the best P650 derivatives ever - just because it had "MIL-W-46374F" plastered all over the box.
MWC fooled me with their SBS model, Luminox fooled me with their Naval Seals crap and, when I bought the Zeno-USA "Explorer", I didn't even know about the Rolex original. These companies, like all, are after your money first and foremost. But they are just plain
dishonest compared to the likes of Eddie.
So when I read about the finish of this "G10" versus that "G10", I go "so what?". My Stocker & Yale P650's are not the best of quality, with their loose bezels, dubious water resistance, and lack of a date window (even though the movement has a date function), but their market value keeps going up and up and up :D and, if one is on my wrist, it's the real thing not a pretender.
