Could you list the seller, that link doesn't resolve for me.

Sorry mate, the seller seems to have closed up shop. I can't link through in my previous orders now either - link doesn't resolve there either :/

When did you get this gen? As far as I know and confirmed by an AD, all of the monogram belts have the logo starting at 5.5 squares in. And all the belts also have squared edges. I don't know if the older versions had them or not but in the last few years that's how they've been from what the AD has told me.

There are some really nice quality genuine Chinese pens on Amazon for $3 to $9 with free shipping. Most are around $3 to $4. Since they are genuine and are not attempting to mimic another brand, you aren't paying anything extra for name recognition. They have dozens of excellent reviews, too. I'll post the name when I'm at my computer next.

San Francisco ISC has forsaken me.. I've had a package sitting in there since the 3rd. 3 previous ones were in and out of there in a day

Annoying

Don't be so sure. My JF APROO that came in from Toro sat at Chicago customs for a week before it was released. Actually freaked me out because all my other purchases came in from NY since I'm in hoboken. I guess this one got shipped from Hong Kong. Anyway I wouldn't worry about it until it hits like 2 weeks. After that then you're probably screwed lol.

Received my bracelets in the mail today (unregistered mail [emoji14])

Looking good.
A bit too big but I think I'll be able to make it one or two beads shorter.
One minus point they made the knot on the top part of the bracelet so it's a bit visible.

I'm not too worried, I've had watches sit for a week or more in LA. It's just annoying this time. Most of the Ali packages get there in a day, then to me the next. If it's two weeks, then customs guys have a couple pairs of new wayfarers to wear (along with our watches they've seized). These customs guys have their accessory game on point thanks to us haha

Those look pretty good with your Panerai. Would be killer with a ceramic submersible

I think it was my fault as I put this inside my backpack and maybe my laptop or in the car the movement broke it. Anyway I ill try to stick it with a superglue and I will bu another but the silver´s one.

Greetings


Edit: I have bought a few seconds ago from the same seller the silver ballpoints. I really liked the quality of the broken one.
Any idea how can I protect them in my backpack, the velvet pouch didnt work ha

Just search for "MB pen case" - they're exactly what you want to protect it. Something like this (not tried the seller just linking the case)

I have bought an hermes belt. The seller claims the belt is leather but it does not feel like it. It is more like some kind pf PU leather (plastic). What are my chances to win a dispute? Has Anyone any experience in a similar situation? It is really my word agsinst the seller. By the way, the product is gone from Ali. Here comes some pictures .

I've ordered a Prada card holder from the site now. It didn't have a lot of feedback, but there was one picture from a previous customer. It looked good so I hope it's decent irl.

Here's the link: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...ard-sets-for-men-and/1536173_32288831061.html

And below is the photo I mentioned. I will of course update this thread with my own pictures when I receive it. I ordered a black one. Btw, I guess this is a fantasy model?

If the seller is gone just make a dispute saying it's a counterfeit one, send pictures of a real one make a good little story.

I just got home to quite a few packages that have been dropped off over the las few days. One was the belt, I'm kinda disappointed but not surprised. Mine came in a cheap box, the logo starts 7.5 squares from the end and the colour is off. The buckle feels nice but has the wrong markings. I specifically asked for the 5.5 squares so feel cheated. Oh well. I'll post some photos over the weekend. - Also got a watch repair kit. The metal tools are awesome quality, the plastic holders and tools are shocking.

I believe you are talking about Jinhao and yes they absolutely destroy the MB reps in quality and performance. The 159 in black is the one to go for, beautiful writer. Also the 450 is very nice in the patterned red if you are after something a bit smaller but it has a wider nib than the 159. Both I think are also interchangeable with some really good nibs. But for 3/4 dollars incredible as is.
