NO. The colour is gold, that's all. It's just fake bling.
Over 5,000 negs and neuts in 12 months.
I wouldn't have given this seller any of my money.
, the issue isn't so much about country of manufacture.
You are being tongue-in-cheek when you talk about the incredibly smooth transaction involving 3 long months to get from China to Australia ... yes?
I know this is not directly in relation to your question, and I don't want to add to any woes, but... are you certain that the iPhone you purchased is a genuine iPhone?
With Chinese-made items, I agree that there's no problem at all if they are made for a well-known respected brand, under contract, to the specifications and standards required by the company. But China (as you no doubt know) is also the land of many fakes. Sometimes even the very manufacturers who work under contract with high-end brands/companies are also - simultaneously - guilty of producing knock-offs / imitations / fakes / rip-offs. It's certainly rife as a cottage industry. It's because of those fakes, and the fact that it's almost impossible for non-Chinese to have their intellectual property and patent protection enforced, that either good domestic copies or cheap shoddy copies intended for foreign export (to be bought by westerners who are drawn by the cheap prices) are being rolled out by the millions.
CAUTIONARY TALE (true story): A family friend who unfortunately is a little naรฏve proudly showed off his "iPhone" to me, telling me the incredibly low price that he paid to an Asian seller who told him some story of being able to get the genuine iPhones directly from the factory through some contact. A feeble story, to say the least of it! Was the iPhone genuine? No. I could spot the difference between that particular fake and a genuine iPhone even before doing some quick research. Apart from everything else, it didn't actually have the amount of storage that it supposedly had.
The family friend didn't want to believe me. It was about a year or so later that he admitted that the iPhone had stopped some of its functionality and he took it to Apple to repair. Apple gave him the bad news: not genuine.
Anyway, back to your original post:

So on 17/03/18, i have ordered a gold watch for 15$.
The total number of genuine gold watches available for $15 is... let me think... hmm... zilch. Nada. Nichts. Rien. Null Komma nichts. Niente. Nulla. None. You must know this! Were you laughing softly as you wrote that post? You may have purchased a gold-COLOURED watch for $15. I wouldn't expect the movement to be Swiss, and I wouldn't expect the watch to be of any particularly good quality.
If something goes wrong, of course, there's no warranty. But... for $15, you will almost certainly not be too perturbed over that.

Wait until it arrives, as Lyndal has said. Then of course bring it to a jeweller and have it valued, whereupon you laugh in delight as the jeweller tells you it is gold, pure gold. All right, that was a moment of sheer fantasy.
EDIT: As Davewil said.
