I believe the consensus is that Wish is not a place you want to do business with.

I'm sure that there has been discussion about Wish on this forum, but I haven't been able to turn it up.

Don't do it unless you really want a base metal case, DG movement with Seiko on the rotor in the wrong font and a watch that looks 28% like what you ordered. Wish is exactly that. A wish.

Just as a case (hehe) in point. Here is a SARB033(albeit with a dial swap, but everything else is gen) versus a Wish SARB035. Not. Even. Close.

For future reference, Wish and similar questionable sources are listed in the “No Fly Zone” in the OP of our “Sources of Deals” thread here:

I was thinking more about this, and I bought from wish just hoping the case would be a good mod base. It wasn't. That said, Steeldive offers GOOD homages at great prices and San Martin does GREAT homages at good prices, so I would definitely check them out. I have several from each.

Steeldive offers absolutely insane value for money, but the sub $100 price point shows slightly in finishing, and I don't know about their CS.

San Martin costs a premium over the other homages, but is head and shoulders above the competition in quality, QC, and customer service. I highly recommend both, but feel free to PM me with any questions. Also, make sure to research which AliX store is their ACTUAL store.
