LOREO Mens Silver Stainless Steel Sapphire Glass Black Rotating Bezel Men’s Automatic Watch

Great watch for the price
I bought this as a nice looking, knock-around watch. I have a large watch collection, most all high end and I am not gentle with them. I decided to get a nice, inexpensive watch to wear when I didn’t want to worry about marring the watch.I had done this once before; I ordered an Invicta Rolex look-alike, from Amazon Invicta Men’s 8928OB Pro Diver Gold Stainless Steel Two-Tone Automatic Watch and returned it immediately. It was lightweight, and looked and felt cheap, very cheap. One look at the thin layer of paint on the bezel and I knew this would scratch in a minute. And, it was lighter than any watch I’ve ever held, and it was just … well, send it back. I wouldn’t be seen wearing such an obvious, from feet away, piece of junk.So, deciding that I once again was ready to try a look-alike (I won’t say knock-off, there is no attempt to present this watch as a Rolex, though the style is very similar) I read the reviews and decided to give it a try.Incredible difference between this and the Invicta.First, the packaging is very nice, like a high-end watch. Of course, I just toss the package anyway, but it’s nice to see that they take pride in the product. It comes with a tool to pop the pins that adjust the bracelet size (more on that later) instructions in Chinese (this is not a complicated watch; most adults do not need to be told how to set time on a watch) and even a plastic credit card type certification/guarantee card. Very nice.I immediately noticed two things about the watch … 1) it’s heft; not quite Rolex but not far off; this watch feels good on your wrist and 2) the packaging was wonderful. The shrink wrap around the watch was so tight that I did not even realize it was there. It took a bit to get off but that’s a sign that the manufacturer cares that you receive it in good shape. That, and the fact that it had a foam sheet around it and it was presented on a pillow, and surrounded by a nice sturdy presentation box, will make sure that when you get the watch, it will be scratch and dent free.The watch: I do not expect that any of my friends will think this is a Rolex, and that is not my intent. They will, perhaps, say “nice Rolex look-alike”. Unlike a real Rolex, the bezel and face are not enamel and so the color is shinier and lighter than a genuine Rolex. That is an instant give away as to its make. But, like an actual Rolex it has a cyclops (magnifier above the date) which I think is sapphire like the crystal, at least I’m hoping it’s not acrylic. For your info, it is glued on, not part of the crystal but, then again, so is the Rolex. The date is a bit flatter, more matte than the Rolex, again this is not enameled.It seems to keep time accurately enough for non-track events and will likely not lose or gain any more than typical automatic watches. I will get back to this after I have it a while.The bracelet is nice, a little shinier again than a genuine Rolex, but the clasp is an excellent design, much nicer than any watch that I’ve seen in this price range. About that tool … it is a punch. As with many watches, cheap and high end, the links are held together with compression pins. To take them out you use the punch on the rounded end of the pin and push it through the link. To reinsert, you put the rounded end back in and tap the compression end (small split on the end of the pin). I tried punching the pin out but all I achieved was bending the punching tool. Actually, that’s a good sign that they are using the right size pin and it will hold the links without falling out. It took my jeweler all of 5 minutes to size it for me (having the right tool helps).The crown is a screw down, i.e., you unscrew the crown to free it to set the time. Setting the time and date is just like any other time/date watch. Different pull-outs of the stem set either time or the date. Then, you press the crown in to enable you to screw it down tight and locked. Very nice feature on a watch this price.There is an exhibition back which, again, is a nice feature in this price watch. The view of the watch mechanism isn’t great, but you don’t wear the watch upside down.The bezel is firm and stable when rotated, and like the Rolex it is unidirectional.As others have mentioned, this is most definitely not a GMT watch, that description should be changed. Having read enough reviews I did not expect it to be GMT so no disappointment there.One reviewer sent the watch back because the face was too small. I don’t know what he was expecting, this watch has a 40mm case, the same as a Rolex Submariner.Hopefully this watch will hold up. I’d expect scratches since the material is much softer than a higher end watch, but that’s why I bought it. Other than some watches in titanium that I own, almost all scratch, especially the 18k gold watches. This will scratch a bit more, but then, that’s why I bought it. At this price, I can buy another if this gets really messed up.If you’re expecting to fool people into believing that this is a genuine Rolex, well I guess it depends on who you hang around with. I am sure that many people who aren’t familiar with genuine Rolexes might not notice the difference. If you’re just looking for a decent watch at a decent price, I think you might be surprised at the quality of this watch given what it costs.

Died after three months
I am not a bot, really. I got it in October in time for my trip to Jamaica. It worked great. It was off by the time specified in some reviews (13 seconds per day , I think) but that was not an issue. Three days into my trip I dove off a ~30 foot cliff. The watch had water drops in it, but I had no way to fix that in Jamaica. I could not get the back off by hand & the crown was still sealed. When I returned home I removed the back & let it sit for a few days. That was late Oct. In February just stopped working. I can get the back off & parts move but…I am sad to say that if you are looking for a mechanical watch built like the Timex I had in the 1970’s this is not it.Everything has built in obeisance these days.I will keep looking to see if there is a warranty…Update:There is a one year warranty from Loreo, but you have to ship it Hong Kong. I was told by the watch repair guy I took a Rolex to that he has heard this before. Some Chinese movements work great & other stop like mine did.Amazon will only warranty it for 30 days unless you purchase the extended warranty

This watch looks even better on. Great buy and amazing quality.

Sapphire crystal automatic movement water resistant 20atm good price.
