MickSzym 0 Posted March 30, 2018 Hi folks, Once upon a time I had too much free time and money, so I was browsing dhgate. I found an Omega Seamaster 300m fro roughly $60usd and out of curiosity clicked "buy now." Here is what I got 2 months later: <IMG> <IMG> <IMG> <IMG> The bezel is of course loose - I had to fix it using the floss trick; The bracelet and the clasp are hopeless; The lume is pretty good The movement is okish; In sum: a total waste of money!

Buglicker 0 Posted March 30, 2018 Doesn’t look too bad for $60. Not sure what you’d expect for that money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's the thing - I didn't expect anything, I was just curious. Honestly, the worst part is the bracelet - I think I will get a nato strap and it will look (and feel!) much better!

processengr 13,386 Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) Solid or folded end links? The bezel numbers are correctly aligned with the scallops! This is a first for a cheap rep 300! Edited March 30, 2018 by processengr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerApple 7,285 Posted March 30, 2018 I think I have that exact bracelet on my gate speedy. They're horrific, plastic (feeling), Christmas Cracker trash. The watch is okay, way better than the bracelet, but yeah, dog shit. But as the man says, what do you expect for sixty bucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Become a supporter, and one of the benefits is a whole VIP area becomes visible - including a whole section on the ‘gate. 10 minutes ago, MickSzym said: That's the thing - I didn't expect anything, I was just curious.

It’s now on a blue rubber strap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo82 1,397 Posted March 30, 2018 I’ve got a blue one from the gate. Bracelet on mine is brilliant. Sign upfor VIP to see the DHGate section. Plenty of reviews there to weed the good out from the bad. Also there is $600 worth of watch to win for signing up to VIP PM @greg_r for details Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

knowface 0 Posted May 11, 2018 I'm so tempted to get a SMP Bond from dhgate...I've found it almost impossible to find almost everywhere. But this thread has me thinking 2nd and 3rd thoughts. I'll wait patiently until I can find a good rep somewhere else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
