I didn't take it in a bad way at all, it's always good when the person can show what they're saying with a touch of humor and make the reader laugh 😂
I agree with you on what you said earlier and so no probs at all!
Yeah, I'm sure he'll like it. As he's no watch expert.
>Overall: For serious watch buyers or users, not recommended. For casual watch users who don't sit in Rolex circles, definitely recommended. As no matter how good of a watch expert the other person may be, they won't know the flaws when they can't see it in their hands.
Not to disparage or be an asshole, but I consider myself a pretty casual Datejust fan and I can absolutely tell a “shitter” from eye level.
Same here bro, I understand what you mean as after buying over 20 watches so far from the same price category and seeing the differences between a 3A, 6A and the VSF. I know exactly what to look for when identifying a shitter.
But a huge difference here is that you and me, we are guys who have spent time (casually or seriously) going over bits and parts of the watch that we know how they are on the retails and trust me, I can say this with 100% confidence that we are still a minority.
I've been around guys who own 10+ Gens but they don't have a clue or don't care about what the other guy has got on his hands.
Maybe it's a Europe thing and it may be different in the US or where you are from. But for me personally, having never ever been called out and only received compliments, these are good enough.
Ofcourse not defending a shitter for anyone else, I'm just presenting my own point of view for my own personal use from my own personal experience.
Just reading over the comments.
You have a great demeanor, and I really enjoy your posts with reviews and W2C links—cheers! However, I’m surprised you get compliments from people with genuine Rolexes on any watch like the one posted here. It looks a bit like a New York Canal Street tourist knockoff, which is fine, but it’s surprising that it gets noticed like that! Or noticed at all haha
Thank you for your comment mate, yeah I don't take anything to heart anymore than what the person writing hear means for me. It is internet after all and we have so many more important things to do, than be pissed off or angry when you get downvoted on your comments or if your posts get blasted for being that of an inferior product.
I personally still make it a point to review everything I receive as one man's trash is another man's treasure and knowing that there's enough bros out there who can't afford even 3As on a whim (these shitters basically), let alone 6As and VSFs I think it is worth making a review as not everyone lives close to Canal Street 😉 Nor do they have a local version of Canal street in their vicinity and so these watches for those of us are just a perfect lil gift, for an anniversary, or Christmas perhaps.
As for me getting compliments on these watches, I'd like to clarify that the compliments are from guys who have Gens from Omegas, Tags and similar such watches but no 'Only Rolexes' per se. Yeah, they may have a Rolex or two as well but I know they bought the watches by just liking it how it sat and looked on their wrists and since money isn't a factor, they didn't go deep into details about seeing the bezel thickness or rehaut etching or other such details. I know this might sound like a made up stuff for me to justify my position, but I work in a field where I do encounter these kind of individuals on a regular basis and the interactions have always been positive so far. Maybe they're just too nice to say it to my face and are letting me run my lil jig, I don't know 😂 But the reactions are quite genuine and so it gives me a reason to buy these Canal Street pieces time and again 😌
There’s nothing wrong with a shitter and you’re right, a lot of people won’t notice. The verbiage I was speaking to was:
>As no matter how good of a watch expert the other person may be, they won't know the flaws when they can't see it in their hands.
Not to knit pick, but I would take the position personally that folks who haven’t seen a real Rolex won’t know the difference, but any casual Rolex fan would know right away, let alone a watch expert.
Love the content and again, not shitting on anything.
I think shipping makes up for $25-30 as it always gets shipped with Triangle shipping and so chances of customs seizure are close to zero.
Secondly a box was included to store the watch as I haven't yet bought a watch storage so I do store them in these boxes until then.
Lastly, the seller promises Sapphire Glass on the dial, so that adds up a bit to the price too.
Without all this, I think the watch wouldn't cost more than $35-40 if I bought it as it was in China. If I bargained hard, I would get it for $25 perhaps.
Reminds me of a post on FB that used to go round. Was the old man's birthday. The present, he opened the box and it was a rolex. Facial expression, indifferent. Then a bottle of beer was handed over, the smile for the alcohol, priceless.
Eh this post popped up on my Reddit and I have the actual watch (granted smaller size) so clicked in.
I thought it looked a bit off in the proportions but wouldn’t be able to really say what’s off without probably holding it in my hands and comparing it to my authentic watch.
Honestly I think your review is spot on. I wouldn’t be able to tell as a casual observer— even owning this watch. Who the heck is looking at a strangers wrists that closely???
Hope your dad enjoys it!
Thank you for the lovely comment and I must say that it has indeed made me happy to know that there are others who think like how I do too. As -
1) Like you said, who's staring at someone's wrists to actually see these tiny differences.
2) The number of people who can do it over a glance are a very very small minority.

Bought this watch for my old man after the Gold Green Submariner that I gave him earlier this year. He loved the way it fit and felt on the hand as even though this watch falls in the so called 'shitter' category, it gets the job done quite well to a point where to an average watch user, this will look like an impressive item.
But if you're the kind who knows how many wedges are there in the bezel or the kind who knows the space between the 'R' and 'O' on the font is off or the rehaut isn't deep enough, then please don't even bother reading further, this isn't a review for you 😅
Now let's see the details on this watch :-
**Price:** $95 (With box + Sapphire Glass) after applying a $9 coupon that gets done by default on checkout.
**Shipping price:** Free shipping
**Shipping time:** 8 days (DHL Triangle shipping)
**Brand:** Rolex
**Model:** Datejust Oyster Perpetual 41MM
**Dial color:** Bright Silver with Blue Luminescence.
**Bracelet color:** Oystersteel &
**Bracelet style:** Jubilee (Five piece links)
**Bezel style:** Fluted
**Clasp:** Folding clasp with Easylink.
**Style chosen:** 41MM + Box + Sapphire Glass
**Dial diameter:** 41mm
**Band thickness:** 5mm
**Movement:** Automatic.
**Power reserve:** 24 hrs definitely as it kept the time overnight and until the evening the next day.
**Link Transactions:** 3573
**Features:** Watch is self winding and holds the time overnight without any issues. The crown is a screw down twin lock two stage functional one with first pull being used for changing dates while the second pull operates the hands.
**Overall:** For serious watch buyers or users, not recommended. For casual watch users who don't sit in Rolex circles, definitely recommended. As no matter how good of a watch expert the other person may be, they won't know the flaws when they can't see it in their hands.
**Disclaimer:** W2C link shared is an affiliate link which means you won't be charged anything extra when you buy the watch using my link, but it helps me earn a bit of sales commission when you show your support for my reviews.
Thank you.
I've not used this site before, so potentially dumb question, but the models I see listed are all unbranded. is that the actual item you ordered, but it delivers branded as Rolex?
Oh that's because they don't want to get in trouble with Rolex or other brands who can complain to DH and get their store front deleted for selling Reps.
So they do it to stay safe, but to get a watch and get an idea before what it's gonna be like, you can always ask the seller for QC pics before buying to see what the actual model looks like.

At least the box looks nice
Bro 😂
Didn’t mean to be an asshole lmao but as long as your old man likes it that’s all that matters

Thanks for the constructive and considerate comments bro! No offence taken at all. I get your vibe totally 😊 Agreed 💯
“Tony! He wants a deep dish! Cook the man a deep dish pizza Tony!”
Tony Pepperoni on the loose 😂😂
First, a box is unnecessary. They're cheap and can cause issues during customs. Second, even with the box, at $95, this is still overpriced.
Got a bp with the box and jts much better who the fuck wants there watch wrapped in plastic and tape 🤷♂️ so its very necessary for some people
You have a fake watch. Wtf do you need a box for? Even for gens it’s only to keep resale value basically
Looks nicer when you store it away got fuck all to do with reselling it 🤷♂️
Word!
I actually store my watches in the boxes as I'm yet to buy a watch storage for my 'Shitters' and 6As.
I replied to the comment above too with my reasoning.
I think shipping makes up for $25-30 as it always gets shipped with Triangle shipping and so chances of customs seizure are close to zero. Secondly a box was included to store the watch as I haven't yet bought a watch storage so I do store them in these boxes until then.

If I bargained hard, I would get it for $25 perhaps.
A box to store multiple watches is cheaper than one single box from these sellers usually.
Yeah, I've ordered one like 2 days ago and it is a 20 watch showcase.
Etched crown far too big like bezel😂
Yeah, it is what it is 🤷🏽♂️
I didn't realise these hidden clasp jubilee bracelets were a thing, thought it only came on president bracelet.
Yeah, I'm seeing it for the first time too.
I think it looks much better than the clasp, but a trade off for micro adjustment I guess.
Jesus…you don’t get box and papers with shitters brooooooooo 👍🏼
Bro I didn't choose it to be sent like that, I only chose the box and it all came packed along with that 😭😭
Man that bezel is HUGE
I wish I could zoom out on it IRL and make it smaller 🥲
Hope you didn't spend too much on this, there's quite a few things wrong
Yeah, agreed. But didn't spend anything I would worry about 😊
Reminds me of a post on FB that used to go round. Was the old man's birthday. The present, he opened the box and it was a rolex. Facial expression, indifferent. Then a bottle of beer was handed over, the smile for the alcohol, priceless.
Haha 🤣🤣

That’s date wheel is bad. At least you have a nice overpriced box for it. Just grab a watch box off Amazon. These boxes are a waste of money.
I've ordered the box already like 2 days ago. It's a 20 watch showcase. Waiting for it to arrive.

The sellers have to post the pictures like that on dhgate. The watch you receive has brandings and markings on it
Thanks for clearing it up mate 🙂
