Must be different to the one I looked at @mysterio
The one I looked at had the caseback showing the movement

Must be, I checked the 2nd one in the result. 1st result and the 5th result were stainless steel. 3rd and 4th had the same pictures but incorrect movement.

@Sparky28 @mysterio

There are just a couple of listings. To me it's shown 2nd on the list.

I bought multiple times frkm dhgate. 3x watches and several other times other stuff. I always ended being satisfied with the purchase..

Well if it's sub 50$ I might take a look at it. Otherwise... ;)

@dadog13, totally understand. For some items and not so expensive watches, dhgate or aliexpress is good enough. But for high-end reps (and those who aren't comfortable using DHGate/Aliexpress), better stick to the TDs.

I bought once from a guy in Europe on FB group, never again, I got what he advertised, but it was just lower class compared to what we get here

im only interested in something that looks so close it could fool the experts, i thinking rep have now become a real competition to see how close they can get it, almost like a art form, some companies have become so good that they actually create less of a rep and more of a Homage and they sell those on ebay. hands off to the ones that try their best. they bring respect to what was once considered to be nothing more then junk... theyve come along way from the 20 dollar folex they sold in Chinatown on the streets , kudos kuods

on dhgate you pay for what the rep told you it was, they can show the name on the watch, just the type of watch, you do get a omega if the rep says its omega then it will be but if he puts up pics of a omega dh gate will kick him off, but you will get what he offered because gh gate is just like ebay, you can reverse it and he knows that

opinion = DH gate isn't worth messing with, quality no good

I've seen the watches on there & they aren't up to the same levels as noob,XF etc
Totally agree with what your saying about quality

I speak because of experience, what about you?

I have ordered and got what I wanted.

As for the reps, you can actually find all the reps which are being sold here by trusted dealers. Prices which are stated are more expensive and probably you can ask each one of those sellers if they accept your price terms. On a final note, there is buyer protection. If you don't get the item, you get a refund. If it is not what you ordered you open a claim. If it's broken, the same..rather good buyer protection. I was refunded for a pair of sneakers that did not arrive in 60 days (arrived in 75 and I kept them). I got a refund on a watch, it was a partial refund but acceptable for me,..

All in all, dhgate is good. Do your own research and you are ok for orders. I did it always for some cheaper reps (if we are speaking about watches) that our dealers don't carry.

Another story, there is a guy selling excellent quality ray bans. Placed an order. Got the shades but were not the one I ordered. Didn't even need to open a claim. Spoke with him and he sent me a replacement ones (correct) with me keeping as well the wrong ones..

You can do your own research. Ask dealers to provide you with their yupoo albums. Not all of the reps that they have are listed on their dhgate shops. There are actually all the famous factory reps out there. You can start the talk with them to let them know not to play with you because in the end they will loose if you open up a claim.
I often take a video if the package that I open. It's the best possible evidence to see what I got in case of complaint.

You as a buyer dictate the rules, not the seller..

I've seen the other makers on there too BUT the prices are way over what you would pay from a TD,
I've found this from my own research,

It's good to know that if there's a problem that it gets resolved.If dealers on there treat their customers like youve been when a problem arises then hey,they deserve loads of trade

I am not pushing you over tiwards dhgate. I just say that it can be a resource for some stuff. You have to do your work overthere, filter the good vs the bad sellers which the forum(s) have already done for us.

Approach with care, do your research in case you decide to buy something. I have decided several times not to buy from some sellers over there, no confidence. In the end I don't want to get a free item after I make the claim. I want to get what I agreed to buy. It's still a hassle to open disputes, to get things sorted even if it is a good tool to rest assured that you get buyers protection.

It is definitely not for the inexperienced, lazy nor the weak of heart. Some members here can't even be bothered to read the knowledge crammed into this forum, let alone have the patience to wade through the adventure that is DHGate/Ali. :)

Without a movement pic, sorry no sale. :) Plus the markings on the crystal are on the dial. How hard could that be?
