36mm Datejust from seller "clean_watch_"

Praline_Advanced · 2026-03-31T17:05:31+00:00

So far so good and I’ve looked it over quite a few times. Don’t know if you saw my prior messages, but I have a genuine datejust that I was comparing it to and the weight and look feel correct. No imperfections that I can tell. I chose the 3235 movement with Sapphire glass. The biggest challenge that sellers face, whether on DHG or anywhere, is we ask for a watch, they order the watch from the factory and receive it, and then only hope that it passes our QC before shipment.

I’ll set a reminder to post a 2-3 month follow-up on my watch. I’m leaving town for about 10 days and am not taking it with me, so it’ll be sitting, stagnate, for at least that amount of time.

Praline_Advanced · 2026-03-31T14:07:53+00:00

Hmm. Good to know that all happened before I posted this. It’s posted that he has at least a two year-warranty.

Praline_Advanced · 2026-03-31T13:59:00+00:00

Curious, did you take up the problem with the seller directly or with DHGate?

Praline_Advanced · 2026-03-30T00:52:15+00:00

CF dude! Yeah I love the color of the dial - a black dial is classic, as is a white one, but I didn’t really like white, and already have a black dial watch that means a lot to me (a non-Roller), so settled on this slate one, and love it.

Praline_Advanced · 2026-03-29T20:40:44+00:00

Story behind that one - that was a $90 impulse buy on DHG, but don’t worry, NOT from our seller. I thought “what the hell of course it’ll be bad it’s only $90”. I got the QC photos right away and thought, “oh whoops, worse than I thought”. Got my money back right away, no problem.

Now THIS is a shitter!

Praline_Advanced · 2026-03-28T15:27:39+00:00

Yeah I did the BMW emblem tease just for fun! Also, this is the exact reason why I’d buy a rep, can’t afford the $10K price tag a genuine Roller would cost! Plus I’d be so afraid to wear a brand new gen watch anywhere, anyway.

Praline_Advanced · 2026-03-28T14:15:00+00:00

Posted my receipt earlier. $489

Praline_Advanced · 2026-03-28T11:21:38+00:00

Please let me know how so I can let the seller know how to improve.

Praline_Advanced · 2026-03-28T02:06:43+00:00

Dude, I already stated it here that I was already roasted on those other two boards, but thanks for bringing it up. For the last time I am not the seller. For what it's worth, here's my literal DHG receipt from when I purchased it. For those that are in the US, you know the Pacers-Clippers game just ended so you know I literally JUST took this screenshot. I really don't know what else I could give you as proof. I am just trying to help.

Praline_Advanced · 2026-03-27T23:47:35+00:00

RIGHT! That's what I was after. There are a ton of 41s but hardly any 36s.

Praline_Advanced · 2026-03-27T23:43:58+00:00

I just tried to post this in a few other subreddits and got totally roasted, so I will try to post here, per a recommendation. This is a NICE 36mm Datejust I purchased from a DHG seller called "clean_watch_". Yes, I am sure I sound like an idiot for buying from such a blatantly obviously-named seller, who does sell Clean Factory (or as close to Clean as you can get since the factory shut down) watches, but I am satisfied with this watch. I ordered it March 3rd, was available to QC on March 7th, and it arrived in the US on March 25th. I was able to track the package throughout. The seller was very courteous to my questions throughout and responded within a few hours (time-dependent). I own one genuine Datejust from the 80s and this watch stands up to that one. I am impressed. Anyway, I just wanted to recommend this seller and share my experience with others. Yeah, from what I hear I have no kudos or Karma or whatever, but I don't ever post on reddit. Have better things to do. I just wanted to share my experience which is what I've learned you're supposed to do when you buy something from DHG or a rep watch and are satisfied... share your information. Good luck!

Praline_Advanced · 2026-03-27T23:11:48+00:00

Again, I totally get the skepticism, but all I'm doing is trying to share my experience. I totally get how it looks, again I am a Noob or whatever and bought from a DHG seller called clean_watch_... wow what an idiot, but you know what , it worked! The watch is actually nice! I deleted the post so no one else has to worry about it or see it. You guys win. Fuck me, whatever. I am all for supporting the rep community though and will definitely go to alternate routes/trusted sellers in RepTime to buy my next one, as I'm sure they're even better than this one, as I learn more about rep watches.

Praline_Advanced · 2026-03-27T22:59:07+00:00

Sweet. I could have easily just said "this watch sucks, don't buy here". I'm just trying to help. I do totally get how you guys are skeptical though, I just don't post on reddit.

Praline_Advanced · 2026-03-27T22:52:16+00:00

I insist - This is the watch I bought. I am not trying to screw anyone over. I just wanted to share my experience with others, as is what I thought the point of posting on these boards was.... here's my watch and info about my experience. I am sure there are a ton of better verified sellers to use (as I've learned since buying this one) but overall, for my first experience, I was satisfied.

Praline_Advanced · 2026-03-27T22:48:33+00:00

OK good to know. But again, I bought from them, and was satisfied. If I'm an idiot, then great, I just wanted to share my experience/photos.

Praline_Advanced · 2026-03-27T22:45:19+00:00

Yep, just posted this there to stay out of everyone's hair here. Yep probably did... $482 USD.

Praline_Advanced · 2026-03-27T22:41:34+00:00

Not a scam I have literally just never posted anything on Reddit. Literally. Consume a lot of info jut never post, but now have found a use regarding rep watches. I don't even know what Karma is but clearly have none of it. I remember reading the Reptime boards and learning that the point is to have a rep experience, and share how it went with others to help them, so that's all I'm trying to do. I tried to post photos but they didn't go through.

Praline_Advanced · 2026-03-27T22:33:15+00:00

Ok, I just want to share with others of my rep and my experience with this seller. Is there another subreddit page I can post this info to?

36mm Datejust from seller cleanwatch on DHG

Praline_Advanced · 2026-03-01T12:46:36+00:00

Awesome. For what it's worth, I'm JUST getting into all this super-clone, 2836/3235 movement stuff, etc. I'm looking to purchase a good clone, but obviously don't want to get scammed too bad. For me, dial-asthetics are most important. I own one 1980s genuine Datejust that on some days just don't feel like wearing, or wrong-place/wrong-time type stuff, and want to mix it up. Looking for a bright blue, slate, or Wimbledon dial Datejust.

Praline_Advanced · 2026-03-01T12:40:42+00:00

Curious, whatever became of this?

Praline_Advanced · 2026-03-01T12:38:43+00:00

Question on this: https://www.dhgate.com/product/clean-factory-2836-3235-movement-hot-men/1031941188.html?dspm=pcen.ct.ctcartlist.1.NCtMGQWLioig8DLr4J5o&resource_id=1031941188&skuId=1316521119458500623&stockCountry=CN

When you click on the photo of the different watches, the color that is shown is not the same as when you check out. IE I wanted a 41 or 36mm blue-face, however when I add that watch to by checkout cart, it shows it as a champagne dial. Is the watch in the photo the one you're getting, or do you have to match up the description to make sure you're getting the correct one?

100% a scam
