I bought a “gold” Olevs watch 2 years ago. I still wear it nearly everyday. The color still looks good on the outside, no scratches on the face. It did start fading on the inside of the wristband. Unfortunately it stopped ticking about a month ago thanks to a magnetic field. I’m in school for NDI and was doing one of my Magnetic Particle labs. I was using a handheld magnetic field generating Yoke. I got my watch too close to the magnetic field and it started going backwards. I hurried and let go of the button but the damage was done. It just held still no batter how much I tried winding it, it wouldn’t move. It was a good watch for quite a while and went through a lot of wear and tear but always held up and did it’s job. Definitely got a lot of looks and compliments and many people who were amazed about the quality of the watch when I told them it wasn’t a real Rolex. Bought myself 2 more just recently for $10/piece on Temu. Hope they’re just as good quality as the Amazon one I had. Highly recommend Olevs for anyone who wants but can’t afford a Rolex style watch.

I like to see this positive review. I bought a very sophisticated-looking George Beene watch from a thrift shop for $16. It wasn't until I got home that I realized that all 3 of the internal dials were fake and served no purpose but aesthetics. It bothered me because they could have kept those 3 gold circles on there for looks, but omitted the hands and numbers so that the piece would seem more honest. But they looked like real dials with real hands and real numbers and they didn't do anything. They were just there to LOOK like an expensive watch. Out of frustration, I looked for watches that have working inner dials, and now I have an Olevs G9947 with a black face, and a gold and silver metal link band. It has 4 inner dials. 3 of them work: stopwatch seconds, stopwatch minutes, and a 24-hour timer with day and night indicator. However, the top inner dial really annoys me. It looks like a spring for a tourbillon, but this dial doesn't move at all. In my opinion, they shouldn't have put that there if it wasn't going to move. It would have been a more honest design if they just omitted the tourbillon sping dial and just left it out. Plus, the whole point of a tourbillon watch is to watch that tourbillon and its spring in constant motion. This top inner dial is a spiral that looks like a spring, but it is just static and does nothing but annoys people who understand what that is supposed to represent and what it WOULD be doing if it were an actual functional part of the watch. But, it is a beautiful and sophisticated watch. It has a lot of functionality and it's really fun to watch the stopwatch reset once you've had it running for a few minutes.

I own both a blue and green Olevs submariner style watches that I paid around $40 USD each for them. In the 6-9 months I've had them I've put them through all types things without a second thought of the damage they may suffer and both have survived, sustained no damage, and still keep perfect time. IMO that's the main reason for owning a watch, to tell time, not to be some sort of status symbol, or impress anyone. Even if I could afford to purchase Rolex or other highly expensive brand watch I wouldn't simple wouldn't feel comfortable wearing it, and because there are so many more things I can think of where that money would be of better use. Thank you for a well done review, and demonstrating that a more expensive watch does not necessarily mean a better watch, especially for the everyday man.

OY! This is a BEAUTY!!! Now I need to see, if they make anything a wee bit more water-resistant. I was VERY sceptical about Olevs, because their Amazon images are often obvious CGI fakes, not real photos. Surprise, surprise, you do not appear to have any special lighting, yet the colour and the glittery finish just totally POP like in the catalogue images. It really draws attention in just about any setting! The watch works, and does what a watch is supposed to do, and being quartz, I think we can believe your right on the second claim for one month so far :) The only question remaining, is how long the calibre will last. As long as it is NOT stuffed with a Miyota (personally suffered HIGH failure rate with Citizen, while all of my Seiko/TMI calibre watches take a kicking and keep on beating), chances are good it will survive 10 years or more, and if it does 10 years, it is probably good to good on-board a new Voyager expedition OH, if the calibre too is really Chinese quartz, I trust that more than Miyota and any Swiss quartz, no jokes here!

The days have long passed where Chinese anything could always be considered junk. The watch industry in China has come a long way and today it's possible to buy watches for less than $50 that are exceedingly well made and which will last a very long time. Pricing has become more of a marketing game than a real reflection on worth. For example, I have over a dozen Olev quartz watches all of which seem to be well made, well finished and all of which keep excellent time. None of them cost me more than $35 Canadian and this has allowed me to grow a watch collection which gives me a lot of pleasure when each morning I get to chose the watch of the day. Frankly, if I was one of the major name brands, i would be worried about this type of competition. Frankly, the only thing that in the future will ensure their survival is the ability to continue to appeal to snobbery on name brand, and goodness knows there are a lot of people like that

If you just want a nice looking watch that keeps time accurately, then you spend $20. And the Olevs isn't even the best choice for that.

Does this watch require a battery to power it or is it a wind powered device? Really hoping you would have mentioned this because I’m on the fence between this brand and an Invictus brand same style mariner
@RossetBespokeButlersАй бұрын
This is a quartz watch - battery powered. They also make an automatic version but that is more expensive.

in my experience the japanese homage rolex homages are head and shoulders above any chinese homage in quality and reliability every chinese homage ibrand ive had has had issues while i know the japanese make their watches in china they hold their brands to a much higher standard than the chinese do
@RossetBespokeButlers9 ай бұрын
I agree, Japan has some absolutely brilliant watch brands in some ways even better than Swiss. The Chinese ones are not to that level yet. I do think that within the next 10 years Chinese brands will get there. At the moment they are cheaper than Japanese equivalents so that is good for anyone without much money to spend.

I bought an ole s looked real nice fake diamonds in the face, face was blues and silver real nice looking, but 4 months on and the battery literally fried inside the watch I cleaned out all the burnt area out a new battery in and it does not wish to work, kept the bracelet and threw the watch absolutely crap.
@MikeIncline-xr9nz9 ай бұрын
think of it this way: for $30 usd you are never going to get the performance snd durability of a $15,000 swiss rolex sub but its more like a " prop" watch for show and decorative purposes this watch im sure has glitches and is far from perfect and it wont be, how can u expect that from a $30 homage? its impossible but give them credit where credit is due who else could actually do this?

The watch "community" seems so shallow, people who aren't watch nerds won't even notice. I still think its a little tacky to have such a flashy-looking piece as opposed to something more conservative at a similar price but I like the OLEV skeleton automatic watches with the stars and everything because its just so over the top. I would feel similarly uncomfortable having a watch worth more than my car on my wrist too, its classy if you've earned it but to be a show off is so vain

Its bracelet is folded or solid?
@RossetBespokeButlers5 ай бұрын
Great question. It is a bit awkward to answer because it is sort of half and half. It is not solid like you would see on a Rolex or similar but it is finished at the sides not just folded over like you see on some cheap watches. I hope that makes sense.

Good video, unfortunately I'm still not convinced. Not the fact that it's an affordable watch. As a matter of fact I have an Aragon Dive Master 4 EVO which is only $160 USD. What gives me pause is the bracelet and crystal. In comparison to the automatic version, mine has solid end links, sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel, milled deployant clasp. It just doesn't add up in value. Also like you it would feel like I'm a fraud.

@@synonymous123 I think that if you buy from some places like Ali Express or ebay the price is cheaper but they have been sitting around in a container for months or years so buy the time the customer gets the watch they are already low on battery. That is why I paid a little more (still not much) to get it direct. I have 3 quartz OLEVS watches and one automatic and I have had no issues.

Yes, there’s a reputable seller who prices the watch at 12 pounds there, perhaps it’d be worth the loss in battery if the battery replacement is cheap… as in my region the watch on amazon is quite a bit more than 40

Does it have a screw-down crown or a regular push-pull crown? Also, are the hands stable while setting or do they go all over the place?
@RossetBespokeButlers11 ай бұрын
It is not a screw-down crown and although I have left it on for things like the doing the washing up and washing the car so it has got splashed I would not want to test the water resistance much further. It is a dive watch in looks only I believe. I know exactly what you mean with the hands and I have experienced it with other cheap watches. I am glad to say this watch doesn't do it. Obviously it is not "hackable" as it is a quartz but it does steady when adjusted.

So true. Actually I have seen exactly this. A friend of mine has an exact replica of a Rolex. He was showing ot to someone and they were saying how beautiful the workmanship was. He then told them it was not a real Rolex and suddenly they started to notice 'flaws' in it and started saying it was "obviously not as good as a real one" even though 2 mins before they had been saying how amazing it was! It is all about perception.

Here is the real question about this $50.00 watch and the modern technology that brought it to you at such a good price. Has modern technology made a watch that can compete with a Rolex for a fraction of the cost? The Japanese quarts movement is a technological quantum leap ahead of the beat Rolex Mechanical movment. CNC machining techniques and mass production can make this watch out of stainless steal for next to nothing. In essence has modern technology and manufacturing techniques made a Rolex Submariner a technological dinosaur? Is the only real appeal of a Rolex it's Status symbol status?
@RossetBespokeButlers7 ай бұрын
The OLEVS is not as good as a Rolex it is not as well made and will probably not last long enough to be passed down from father to son for generations. But obviously for the price it still represents a really good bargain. You could literally buy an OLEVS every month and it would still be cheaper! The biggest part of the price of a Rolex is simply that it is a Rolex. Even if we ignore the Chinese and Japanese brands, there are other cheaper alternatives. For example a Tudor, TAG or an Omega is every bit as well made as a Rolex but much much cheaper. I know the Rolex fan-boys will disagree but it is the truth.
