Dhgate

[BabaNJ]

I modded this dhgate purchase but it was not bad for $107 watch. Obviously there were plenty of flaws so don't buy from there if it gona be your only watch. I have some watches from our td's and of course they leave any dh/ali watch miles behind in quality and i wear my bad reps just as beaters after tasting the td Quality, that being said if you don't have patience to research watchoutlet etc budget td's try dh/ali but don't get your hopes too high. I am leaning towards buying from td's with budget products here more and more though since i get bored from same watch easy and also i like to mod/mess with new watches.

Really a no brainer. Just like ebay. Pick a seller and watch with lots of feedback. Order. Jason007 is most peoples go to. He has probably sold more watches than all the TDs here. That said you are buying a low end watch. Just the way it is. I don't buy high end stuff there, but its fun in the same way a bubble gum machine is.

Completely agree, it's kind of a random arcade machine indeed. I've searched by "Jason007" but it seems a lot of people have that in the name of the item, but the seller is another random guy. I suppose you are talking about Jason007 as a seller, in the seller field of the item, not in the title of the item, right?

I mean, if I'm going to throw sixty quid away I want to throw them at the right guy, haha!

EDIT: Just found his shop. I've seen a Nautilus that might be interesting. I've always wanted to try a Nautilus and a RO, so this might be a good way to try it on before pulling the trigger on a better version.

I've bought three watches from DHGate and would agree that you get what you paid for. One was a very cheap Nomos knock-off and had a subdial for seconds where the secondhand never aligned with the markers. It was so lightweight even a decent strap couldn't make it look good. Useful though in that it confirmed for me the Nomos isn't for me before I spent more. The second was a CrPO and a bit more expensive. On this one the strap fell off first time I put it on. The lugs had been drilled twice on each side, none of the holes deep enough. I've taken that one apart and will use the movement in a "homemade" watch at some point. The third watch I got had a bit of crud under the dial, like a plastic shaving or something. Small enough to be easily missed at a glance, but big enough to notice if you spend more than a second looking at the face. I've learned that I'd rather pay a bit more and at least get QC photos and a bit more confidence in the purchase. The amount I've spent on poor reps would have covered a decent one by now!

I have purchased a few reps from DHgate and from Jason007 specifically. The watch is not bad for the money but like others have said you get what you pay for. It won't be a NOOB but it wont be a $20 POS either. I spend no less then $90 on the watch and $20 for DHL shipping and its to me within a week. I've purchased a Speedmaster moon watch and a 116622 Plat dial. Both watches came with no issues and still run fine. They are not within specs of say a NOOB but you aren't paying $400+ either. They are great for daily wear. Especially when they get all scratched up.

China watch factory has Noobs and JF and other high end reps but they also have the lower end like Jason007.

I recommend either Jason007 or China-watch-factory or Good-Roiexx.

What he said @SuprKamiGuru

I'm all for a bargain but the problem is with reps there's a fine line between bargain and cheap junk. With DHgate and AliE they often use gen pics so not always possible to tell either

Well, I got this recently for $67 from DHG seller Michaeltravis.

It's quartz, so I figured less of a gamble.

It's OK for the money, it actually came on a nice Speedy bracelet but I fancied this one on a NATO.

Indeed. My apologies. Been away from the forum for a bit.

I bought one armani from him for 80 usd with box And was excellent the quality of the dial and box. I guess is Luck with dhgate.

Just checked out jason007. I saw the DD40 people in the reviews were raving about. It's plain awful. Dial printing, disc font...

I view dhgate watches as a crap shoot, try to get it from either michaeltravis or Jason007 not noob, but ok for a beater. If you know your way around a watch you can mod some of them to make them look even better. Some people can't afford to drop $400 on a watch, regardless of how much money they have.
