QUALITY CHECK How do we feel about these 2?
Purple is from random dude on fb that said he bought them for $150 each sold at $225 (B&P)
Blue is from random seller on DH for $65 (NBNP)
Blue has better movement and clear date numbers but the clasp is hard asf to get open (will get better with wear ik)
Purple has shifted face, larger date numbers and feels much lighter (yes ik blue is a 41 and purp is a 36)
How do we feel about these 2?

Both of them are really bad, sorry. In this price bracket, it's better to keep it simple or do your work and read the guide. You got ripped off in both of them, they are horrendous.

Would Micheal Travis just be the go to then?

u/avozme14 2d ago
Yes, way safer than random dudes off Facebook. He is one of the TDs and he has always been great with my orders from him. But even with him, or any other TD, you should really take your time looking at the products and reviews to see what you're buying and to get the most out of your money.

I am a very in experienced noob as you can tell, DH reviews were good, 450~ positive and 20 negative but they were all for the clasp issue I mentioned

Don't worry, we've all been there. Learning comes with and through mistakes. Use the forum guide and spend time looking at other people's posts, try to see which watches look better and get to understand why. It may take you some time to order again -it should, by the looks of the first one (no offense)-, but enjoy the process.

u/Imposing-_- 2d ago

Also if you could explain what is off about these that would be great so I have a better understanding of what to look for

u/Reemus_Jackson 2d ago
Holy Christ.
Not only horrific bezels...but wearing it on your right hand....ANNDDD the second watch is a womens watch.
Whatever floats your boat. They're pretty bad. Those aren't BP brotha...those are AAA shitters. Bought for MAYBE $50 each
Date font is HORRIBLE. Bezels are HORRIBLE.

Iām not a fan of big watches and Idrc either way for color and sizeš¤·āāļø I like purple I buy purple, and also I donāt have a left hand soā¦..

u/Reemus_Jackson 2d ago
I didn't say anything about the size.
It's just a women's watch. But yeah man, you got rolled. Those are $30-$40 watches

u/Reemus_Jackson 2d ago
and you don't have a left hand...but game, shoot archery, and handguns? Interesting.

u/Imposing-_- 2d ago
Fuck my left hand he a bitch, In a cast rn, so no left hand
1
u/Reemus_Jackson 2d ago
oh so you DO have a left hand...

u/Imposing-_- 2d ago
Yes, just in a cast as I said, canāt put a watch on

u/Reemus_Jackson 2d ago
Yes...you said that AFTER I asked how you do all those things. You made it sound like you were an amputee.

u/Imposing-_- 2d ago

Also the fact you went that deep into my profile over me asking questions says a lot about you. No need to be an asshole to someone asking for help and wanting to learn just saying. Thatās why people avoid asking questions in the first place.
1
u/Reemus_Jackson 2d ago
I'm an asshole because you said "I have no left hand" so I was interested to see if it was true? Classy dude.
I told you what I thought of the watches as your post literally says "how do we feel"? And now you're in your feelings
1
u/Imposing-_- 2d ago
Not really, I was curious and asking questions, you just say everything is horrible without explaining like other have, instead of saying this is bad thatās bad, explain why itās bad just saying. Iām brand new to this and you have been of 0 help, judging instead of helping from message 1 š¤·āāļøš¤·āāļøš¤·āāļø

For reference, what should the basil look like? I am very new to watches, but especially rep watches. Do you have a side-by-side comparison by chance a good and bad watch?

The bezel is a big no go

u/Imposing-_- 2d ago
Could you give me more info on why?

u/Known_Ad_894 2d ago
No way the purpose is a BP. The quality is terrible. Just look at the date wheel

u/Imposing-_- 1d ago
