It's not real leather from what I can tell,more of a synthetic rubber or something, it doesn't have that leather feel or smell. Seems to be the same material as some of the belts mentioned earlier in this thread.

Probably PU leather...synthetic leather. Usually has a cotton like backing and a chemical smell. Front side would be rather smooth with consistent texture unlike real leather which has imperfections etc.

Here's something random I ordered.. So browsing AE, I stumbled across gauges for my car.. Now I already have boost gauges, exhaust temp, and a couple others.. So I wanted to do an experiment on the boost gauge.. Ordered it and will see a side by side comparison with the two on accuracy. Total waste of 30 bucks, but more for fun.

I strongly suggest you not to buy the Lamy pen, I paid $11.95 and it feels cheap....

On the other hand, the MB starwalker is great quality for even cheaper price....aroung $9 something I think

I am not a replica fan, and even I havent buy my first rep watch but watching this thread I think I will get some stuff before anything watch.
Maybe I will get a belt and a pair of sunglasses for my sister.

I have had many positive experiences on aliexpress. you have to know what your looking at. I don't tend to buy replica/fake clothes but some of the printed t-shirts are very good! If anyone would like to know more or see pics pm me

Another day another delivery, two packages came today... Some TF58 shades (Tom Ford) and two leather bracelets. The bracelets were a let down to be honest so I'll just glaze right over that one , here's a picture anyway note they're are both the same I've just spun them around so the clasp can be seen.

Moving swiftly onto the shades... Now these are impressive! I went for the TF58's which cost me $38. I was a little confused at first between these and the 122's (I think the TF122's have a larger frame) . These have a nice quality feel to them . They came Packaged really well with all the boxes etc and look the part with a nice firm snap on the hinges, and the temples (part that sits on your ear) meets the case flush with no gaps. These are polarised and look to be effective. I've added a real life pic so hopefully you can get an idea of the size.

Now these look great.. Care to share how they are outside!? Do they help with the eyes in the sun?? Not like the 5 dollar pairs you can buy?? I'm really hesitant to buy sunglasses as I have extremely sensitive eyes almost All the time in the dimmest of light... But it might be worth the 38 bucks

I have a huge sunglasses collection, but since I no longer surf competitively I no longer get those deals.. Such a bummer..

I tried them out today and they actually seem okay In the sun, it was mostly overcast here in Manchester today but when there was glare from the sun they seemed to handle it well. With shades, I have only really owned gens , aside from a cheap pair of fake oakleys, these are waaay better than those. At a little over £25 , I'm happy.

For what it's worth, the packaging on these is better than my current gen Prada shades, which came in a cheap looking plastic snap case.

Ordered some cuff links two weeks ago. Just came in. I can say I am highly satisfied. They feel extremely solid, have weight, and engraving is perfecto.

Cool, everyone, thanks for posting your Ali stuff!
And, please, post the crap you get, too, so others know what to avoid and why.
