    I don't understand the hate... unless you're the person who paid for the Rolex and don't like that there are copies of it out there, this is a unique watch, it's actually made in La Choux de Fonds, French area of Switzerland. It uses a Swiss Sellita movement! (As you pointed out, Tudor uses the *SAME* movement in their Black Bay and apparently other models). For 500 bucks, you are getting a professional/heirloom level watch! I guess I can see the hate from people who dropped a cars worth of cash on one of the Rolex's. I'm sorry, but they have just priced themselves out of the market. I don't care how good their watch is, at the end of the day, it tells time and the day and sits on your arm, that's it. I mean and Omega Speedmaster, an amazing chrono, is $3,500. why on earth would anyone pay Rolex 15k for a watch that there are many clones/homages of and have nearly the same quality movement?

    I own this watch (oyster style bracelet) which has a dive extension, unlike the jubilee variant which does not. I understand this watch is iso certified which is impressive for the price . I have to say I am very impressed by this watch. Years ago I did own a couple of Rolex watches and the price of these are now ridiculous to the point where I think they are a waste of money. Good review. Ball watches are my favourite Swiss watch brand.

    I have the Gevril and I went to Mayors to compare the visuals next to Rolex and Tudor, that are similar similar watches and after comparing them visually I did not see much of a difference to justify the thousands of dollars of difference in price. I also have a Rolex datejust. One cost me $800 and the other one cost me 7 to $8,000 and I enjoy wearing the $800 Gevril and get as much if not more compliments than the Rolex. I've been asked many times from random strangers what kind of watch is it because it's so beautiful

    I just got this same watch for less than 500 from Jomashop
    Man I love the finish and up close with a loupe it’s flawless
    Like you said , the only real issue is that cheap looking buckle
    I wish Gevril would make a sleeker buckle with just the name like on the face of the watch instead of that cheap G logo
    Other than that I would say it’s a submariner killer
