I’m not sure I can understand your point. Homages are copies. If same logic is applied then Brompton copies help drive Brompton sales too and should be called homages.
I also seriously doubt that Submariner homages help drive it’s sales. Considering you can’t buy a new Submariner without entering a long waiting list anyways.
