not sure this qualifies, but you might enjoy this one C...
I was wearing my sub at work and a visiting German colleague asked me;
"excuse me, what watch is that?"
a Rolex
"Oh" he said looking disappointed
"I thought it was a Steinhart, I've just ordered one and hoped to see what it looked like"
I've had a few sub homages that Rolex ADs have assumed are Subs, but ironically this is the only time that someone has assumed my watch was a homage !!
