RayFWe're you trying to make a point that these were nice examples and shut me up? These are all horrible imitations. While a micro brand can be forgiven for doing submariner rip offs. A so call Swiss watch company wirh heritage going back to 1850's should not be doing this.

TigerUKYou must be kidding--why would I want to shut you up? You say the most entertaining things!
No, I was merely pointing out that Rolex Submariners have been the de facto design basis for dive watches since before you started wearing Pampers, and that pointing out that resemblance, each and every time you see another one, would be akin to pointing out that all airplanes seem to have wings these days (and questing where they all got that idea from) is mostly irrelevant at this point--so long as they still fly.
So yes, there are many watches that have either borrowed from Rolex's design, or copied it micron for micron. If you'd like to suggest a more unique design that might also be a viable money-maker, I'll bet the good folks at Revue Thommen would be thrilled to hear from you.
Have your people, call their people!
