No problem, ooarr! I asked for mates' comments, and those sometimes include a dissenting opinion.

Ever since I saw this thread I bookmarked it for reference for my own AliExpress experiments... So I browsed the seller's store and accidentially ordered a Rollie Cellini
(http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Luxu...ck-Dial-Automatic-Mens-Watch/32375302711.html ), because I wanted to put it on my wishlist but put it into my cart... Which was holding plenty of other smaller items from other sellers, so when I hit 'pay for all' I oversaw this
So when I received the shipping notification I panicked a bit. I live in Germany, and seeing a full pack with box et all going through customs... No way! I already booked this as 'lost in customs'... But today it indeed turned up on my doorstep, hence I thought I share the unboxing.
There is SO MUCH wrong with this piece, from all the oyster/chronometer accessoiries stuff to the slightly misaligned minute markers at 10, 11, 1 and 2 (though they look kinda like that on the gen wristie I attached)and THAT crown, but hey - it's just cool it came through anyway and might become a nice daily commute beater...
So more fun than frustration than expected for ~$85... I love this hobby ^^
So, here we go:
Gen from ablogtowatch
At least, at 21600bph it is more classy then the guy who sat with us during Oktoberfest trying to convince the whole table his DSSD was real... Doing the Tick-Tock (as in Quartz). Haha...
Cheers,
T!

Good Show!
VERY NICE, E. Quite a haul for the price you paid -- AND your Cellini looks great to these eyes (I have the gold toned one from Reg). Yes, it's a joy to open up ALL that stuff & just revel in it; As long as the watch is half decent, I don't really care, as I'm not a purest. These are worn for OUR enjoyment; and if people were to ask about it (but, they RARELY DO), I'd fess up and tell them it's a rep. I'm not to fool them (uh, most of the time, anyway) but to simply enjoy wearing a copy of a watch I'd never be able to afford in this lifetime.
THANKS for the show, E.! Enjoy them all!

Thanks, Barth & max, for the kind comments. Always good to hear from the both of you. Cheers! (As I raise my imaginary glass of beer in salute to the both of you. I have to pretend that because I'm drinking a glass of caffeine free Diet Coke, heh!)
