Dhgate - show us your best finds...

This might’ve been asked if AliExpress before but I did a search and couldn’t find a similar thread for dhgate.

What decent reps have you found on dhgate?
Photos are a bonus...

Just got this Skeleton royal oak that was really cheap. Got it for a birthday present which is why it's still in plastic but seems like really good quality for the money (£75). And the skeleton dial really is pretty.

Great looking Royal Oak!

Hmm besides the rep watches, I guess the rep boxes are a good find as well. The boxes that our TD's have is lil bit expensive.

I picked up a great Goyard card holder for tuppence here:

I like it so much I just ordered another in dark blue

Here is such a crazy mix of 422 and 372, with a disgusting dial and no less disgusting strap. However, it was probably the cheapest way to get the body a new 47 mm., For about $ 135 h

This thread is a terrible reminder of why I swore off dh gate.

Stay away from watches. My nephews and a few of their friends were asking about reps but they’re like 16 so I grabbed a few off dh gate. And this is a seller I had a long history with. I ordered 6 watches.

2 were dead on arrival. Like they didn’t work at all.
2 didn’t keep time accurately enough to wear for 5 minutes.
2 were so flawed that my 16 year old nephews wouldn’t even wear them. That’s the last order I ever placed for watches on there. And of course the seller gives me “next order I make up to you” and of course they never do because this was the 3rd order I was chasing. Now I have a pile of junk from dh gate.

Just one of the pics I could find.

Yes... I got these for like 40or 45 each I think. And the Rolex is the 1:1 box made of probably faux leather. The ones with the green lining were like $25. Same size just lesser materials.

I got a Gucci version of that but it just didn’t feel right or look right. Those reps are too loose. The authentic are supposed to be 7cm instead of 8-8.5 and they’re supposed to be tight. Like you almost can’t pull your cards out it’s so tight. So my time with that was short lived. That extra 1.5 cm drives me crazy. But I hate to admit, I tried it all.

I got the same Gucci one as that in the left. It was awful compared to the goyard. It probably is a bit too big, but it’s excellent for the price and I honestly don’t care about being called out on a brand none of my friends have heard of. The goyard is tighter than a fish’s butt

Ahead of the inevitable flood of people saying that this is why you can only buy from TDS - I think it’s fair to say that there is a difference in quality between the DHgate average product and those of the TDs.
However there is also a significant price difference.

That said some of the items you can get from DHgate are acceptable enough for a few quid.
And that’s the question behind this thread.
What acceptable watches, or other items, have you found on there?

Yours is a salutary tale of the inverse.

Incidentally; did the seller do anything when you raised the quality issues?

Oh that's a steal..... All I found are the 100+ (good quality) do you have the link for those? Right now I'm looking for a AP box. =)

Yeah that is how I'm used to them. I like em tight.

Because in 6 months to a year they're perfect. Versus when they're too big and too loose.

I hear ya (or whomever said they don't care about being called out). It's not about rep or Gen. For me it's about the feel and I just prefer that smaller cars holder that can break in.

Granted... For the $20 to 50, you can buy 10 and swap them out as needed but my personal preference is just broken in.

But nice finds.

I meant to comment on this which I don't think I did. I got a velariation of this too. It's like a 372 with a 127 dial though and it's not terrible. It wasn't terrible. I've even been swimming with it. The first time I wore it, the "leather strap" started separating showing Styrofoam I'm the middle but the watch was solid. Got it last summer.

I was less fortunate. I fell in the rain and the glass fogged for about 3 days ... They blinded it from the remaining parts, apparently. And in my case, it was not very well assembled. I won’t even talk about the move ... However, as I said, it was the cheapest way to get a new 47mm case, and I thank them for that. Yes, and there was Plexi, which was also a nice addition.

Actually, as I mentioned in another post, I had a little history with the seller. And he was a real piece of work. The more I dealt with him, the more his unscrupulous behavior became evident, to the point where I felt like he was the scratch and dent section of dh gate. Like every piece I got from him had a major major flaw or malfunction or problem. Which is crazy if you ask me. Like I think if someone is going to come back and spend money repeatedly, you take care of them instead of thinking they’re the one you can send junk to.

But that fiddy I purchased was early on and when he was still selling good products. Anyway... any watch I bought from him, he said he could waterproof for $20 (it was the same watch from the same factory, with just some extra seals). I mean I’m sure half of the watches I paid for waterproofing were never waterproofed but I think that 127/372 was one that actually was waterproofed.

Yes, the only thing that can be concluded here is working with them is roulette. If you are lucky one time, then the next one will definitely lose! But, given the low stakes, sometimes you can play.

Best I ever did was this Vacheron Patrimony. Good hacking movement, the decoration of the movement is not quite right under the rotor, and the moonphase just tracks day/night cycle, but for $35 I really like the look of it. I would not pay more than $50 for anything off there though. Too much of a gamble.
