I've never heard the term "Homage" applied to fake Rolex watches. When I lived in Hong Kong there used to be a division of the police concerned with "counterfeit" luxury goods. "Counterfeit" is the term I'm accustomed to. Mind you, if the counterfeiters are rebranding their wares as "homage" then fair play to them, I guess.
