This is a great knockoff of a Rolex Daytona!
I've bought 8 of these OLEVS watches including this one. I've bought them all between 2019 and 2024. None of them have disappointed. But given the complaining from a bunch of watch snobs in these reviews, let me explain what I look for in a watch. Hopefully that will help you understand why I'm completely satisfied while someone else may not be. I'm not into collecting watches. I consider wristwatches an anachronism in 2024. My car has 3 clocks. Why, I don't know. My iPhone has a clock. My computer has a clock. My iPad has a clock. All those electronic devices are getting their time feed from a network that uses the US time standard atomic clock in Boulder Colorado as their reference. Further, every airport, train station, building lobby, bar, and restaurant has a clock. On top of that, everyone around me has a phone with a clock. The danger of me not knowing what time it is hover about as close to zero as you can get. And they all require zero maintenance by me. So for me a watch is pretty much a fashion accessory and that's it. Any quartz movement is good enough at keeping time and more reliable than a mechanical watch. The only maintenance is changing a $1 battery about once a year. And I think all of these OLEVS watches cost me between $35 and $50. So what it really gets down to for me is looks and comfort. And OLEVS has always produced great looking, well styled watches IMHO. I can have 8 different looks to match up with business and casual wear. I don't stress about damaging or losing them. They are all comfortable to wear. And honestly, no one is scrutinizing my watch up close with a jeweler's loop. I think people look at it from 3-6 feet away and come away with the impression that I'm well dressed including a nice watch. That's good enough for me. 99% of the population are not into watches and don't know / don't care about your watch. As for this watch specifically, go look up a Rolex Daytona. This is a pretty accurate copy of a $40,000 watch for $58. I actually think the styling changes OLEVS made look better than the ROLEX in the Stainless Case / Silver Dial version I bought. The overall look is just classier,very clean and easy to read. And the 8 fake diamonds on the face are a nice touch. One downside is that the outer bezel for the chronograph is fake. It doesn't turn. It's there for looks only. Not a problem for me. I'd never use it anyway. I've seen complaints about the rubber / silicone band and buckle here. Once again, the look, feel, and comfort of this band and buckle is excellent in my opinion. The movement is a quartz electric unit. All my OLEVS watches keep great time. I don't really care that it's not a high end Seiko movement. The crystal is glass with a hardened coating, not a synthetic sapphire crystal. Think of it like a Timex or Citizen watch, perfectly serviceable. And I'm not hard on watches I wear for business and casual use. At this price, I'm not looking for a lifetime timepiece. For sports and backpacking I have a Casio G-Shock Mudman that can take a beating. So, all of the above explains why I'm perfectly satisfied with this watch at $58. If you need your watch to say Rolex on the face, get out your checkbook and write that $40,000 check. If anyone asks me about my watches I happily tell them they are cheap copies at prices that mean I don't have to worry about them. Hope this helps with your decision. Read more
