Best 39mm Royal Oak AP

[Tigerdragon]

DW is the same as before only logo looks "old"

I've emailed TSWatch asking if it is indeed from DC Factory, should get an answer soon

Keep in mind that TSWatch is no longer a RWI trusted dealer. They lost their trusted status because of customer issues. RWI will not help you if a deal goes wrong.

Yeah, noted on TSWatch's TD status. They've emailed back and the watch is indeed from DC Factory.

Wanting to get a 15202 blue dial quartz as a test drive on APs ahead of sinking money into a franken but the consensus seems to be Sead is off air at present. Any other options?

something strange happened to me using the Sead sourced 15202 (DC factory i think). Last week in Italy was really hot and sweating a lot when outside
My business shirt cuff where it rubs against the watch (on the inside of the cuff) has been stained in rusty-looking spots. Happened to 3 of my shirts and then i realized it and stop wearing the watch for the rest of the week. No stains on the next 2 shirts after switching to another watch

Try soaking the bracelet in machine oil (and/or WD40). It will remove metal impurities that could be causing rust spots. Make sure you thoroughly wash it in hot soapy water afterwards to remove oil and use a hairdryer to remove all traces of water

Yes, they use low chromium stainless steel which is susceptible to rust spotting if the surface protective later is damaged. Machine shop cross contamination with carbon steel dust/shavings etc can also lead to rust spots and galvanic corrosion of stainless. That’s why it’s always best to thoroughly clean and dry rep warehouse (I mean factory) watches before use.

I have the same problem with mine, I use my fingernail to push the gasket underneath the bezel, but the gasket works itself out again eventually. I thought about cutting the gasket with a sharp X-Acto blade, but I'm afraid that I'll scratch the case. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

as this cheapie won't be water proof anyways - i would remove it completely... but that is just my practical thinking brain while i have no skills or knowledge in watch making hehe

Yeah that gasket is crap - I have the same problem with it twisting around and jumping out of place every time I give it a clean.

I think the only way to properly affix it would be to dismantle and use some sort of adhesive to affix it to the bezel. I haven't gotten that adventurous with it yet.

I don't want to remove it outright because I'm worried about that making it even easier for any tiny splash to make its way inside. I don't think this watch is even marginally water resistant, but I don't want to make it even more susceptible by providing a less-obstructed path.

maybe I'm wrong but I think the gasket is purely decorative and non-functional just like the screws on the bezel.
i got tired of mine sticking out and removed it. replaced with 5-6 tight rounds of black thread. not an optimal solution but at least it covers the gap somewhat

 

[Tigerdragon]

Are the screws really fake? Iam actually not sure.

If one looks at the overall quality of the quartz 15202 from Sead, is this watch still a good buy? Recommendation from owners very welcome.

there are so many opinions in this thread - just read. Nobody will repeat himself over and over

How did you remove the gasket, did you have to take the watch apart or did you just pull the gasket out? Thanks.

no need to take anything apart. the gasket rubber material is quite soft and stretches. You can just gradually pull it out going round the watch.
but once it is all out it is not easy to put it back in place so make sure you have decided to replace it with something else before pulling out
