Buying from WISH: What should I expect?

Hi everyone,
About a week before I even knew that forums like this existed, I made a rash and probably with hindsight incredibly foolish decision to buy a Rolex Submariner from WISH at $194AUD. The seller had a stack of 5 star reviews and I clicked away without thinking until only after the fact, but now I'm a little dubious because in the photo it was the typical 10:10 time on the 25th, and it looked like every other photo out there that I've tin-eyed.had I bothered to read about the trusted dealers here, I'm aware that it was probably a moderately costly mistake on my part.
If anyone could answer the following I'd be very, very grateful:
1) if anyone is familiar with WISH, what is the general quality like?
2) How easily fixable is a replica submariner, I have heard that it is the most copied replica out there, so I'm guessing that it would be on the cheaper end, am I right or am I totally mistaken?

If anyone has any answers for me it'd be much appreciated

I've kind of resigned myself to the fact that it probably will be. Still, its a salutary lesson of the phrase "look before you leap" I guess.

Post a picture and we might be able to help. Without one there is no way we can respond.

And hats off to you for some seriously speedy replies

If you post a picture or link to the watch they were using to advertise it will tell us a lot. If they were using a genuine watch you will probably receive a complete dog turd.

The link doesn’t work (on my iPad). Although I did just get a “free” pair of “$49” headphones from Wish for installing the app (only cost me 80p for the postage). Result.

Well, Wish is like DH Gate, but worse!
I'de be very curious to see what comes out of it but expect a few laughs at best, and a few bucks thrown at the window.

Boxed vomit that somewhat resembles a watch! Apparently buying things on Wish is kinda like buying the trash that doesn't sell on AliExpress.
