I have a few watches that cost 50K-- this one is no joke- read
I just received this watch today. My wife recently discovered some of the watch offerings on Amazon and we were pretty surprised. She found watches that cost $50 which appeared (in the pictures) to be competitive with watches costing 100x more. She ordered a few for herself and then she ordered an OLEVS watch for me. Some of the watches she got were actually pretty nice. The OLEVS skeleton watch she bought me just to try out looked pretty good from 10 feet away, but looks cheap on the wrist and I wouldn't wear it. However I still kept looking just for the heck of it. Audemars watches are gorgeous-- I own none. I own other expensive watches yes but I just dont like the cheaper audemars, I like the ones that cost $350K, but I just can't do that even if I could afford it. This one is different. This is NOT an OLEVS. From 2 feet away on the wrist next to a 50K Hublot skeleton, this does not really appear inferior in build quality and certainly design. The main apparent difference that is visible is the antireflective coating on the crystal is not as good. You would need to examine these watches with a magnifying glass to note a difference in the machining/craftsmanship. I am not saying the build quality is the same, it's certainly not. I'm sure this one won't last forever or be an heirloom. I believe that the waterproofing may not be the best as other reviews say. I absolutely believe that the black versions chip paint after a while-- I wouldn't ever buy a coated black watch even in an expensive brand it's just a bad idea unless it's ceramic. This is why I got the raw stainless. Stainless is stainless and its solid with nothing to chip. Will the watch keep good time? I don't know, but I don't wear the same watch every day so all of them have to be readjusted it seems when I put them on. This doesn't bother me, in fact I enjoy it. Watches like this are pieces of art in my opinion that are enjoyable to wear. Make no mistake, this one IS art, and yes certainly most of the design is "borrowed" from audemars, but whatever your feelings on that, this one is still impressive art at essentially almost 1/1000th the price. If it lasts a year and breaks, I'll buy another and I would still consider it a high value for the money. If you relate to anything I said here, buy this I guarantee you will be very pleasantly surprised. 5 stars GeYa, thank you for surprising me, it made my evening. Read more
