AliExpress experiments - Non-watch products

[Mendota]

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.

Awesome! Yes, that's exactly the one. I have the red and blue marbled 450s in my Amazon cart right now. The detailing on the nibs really looks nice. I'll take a look at the 159, also. There are a lot of great reviews on all of these. Like massive amounts of 4 and 5 star reviews and a sprinkling of poor reviews. I think with that low of a price, people have set very realistic expectations. When the product actually arrives they are surprised by the quality and then give great reviews.

The reviews also contain great tips and tweaks on how to improve the writing experience, too. For $3 to $5 I figure why even bother spending more on a fake Mont Blanc that falls apart so easily? These look way nicer, anyway. JMHO

Yes the black ones are as fragile as a flower vase. Haha

Every steel Starwalkers are fine. The only weak part is transparent top with white Montblanc label.

The issue for mine was that while the body was metal, the threads inside were plastic, and they shattered easily. They're made to look amazing but inside they are as cheap as they possibly can be. Unsurprisingly I guess but I mean I'd pay an extra $10 for one that was made to actually last, it's not that hard.

Hi folks,

Long time listener, first time caller.

Took delivery of a pair of Oliver Peoples Gregory Peck sunglasses yesterday. Really pleased and impressed with the quality. Delivery took approx. 2 weeks to the UK.

I do but tapatalk is giving me a size error. I'll upload them to GDrive and pop the links in the thread.

All markings are present on the arms. The only thing that stood out to me was the typeface was a little wonky on the box - but who wears the box right?

Looks pretty good these glasses, yes. And the opinions are very good in the page
Great purchase!

I've recently ordered Lacoste Polo in this light green color. It's really nice quality, almost like gen one, with some differences in logo (not noticeable by 99% of people )

Is made of 100% cotton? This is one of the typical problems with AE polos.

According to description it is. Also I can say that it feels like it ; )

Upper tooth are different in logo ; )
Also ordered IPhone 5S leather case for my girlfriend, which is quite nice, maybe not perfect but for 5$ compared to 25$ for gen one it's nice!

Nice case for the price kermit_pl

About the polos, I think is more difficult find a good rep of Ralph Lauren, allways logos with issues. I suppose a crocodile is easiest to copy

Has anyone come across a a leather weekend bag? Not really sure what I'm after.

On a side note, I'm up to 8 orders and nothing has turned up yet. It's only been a little over a week but I'm so impatient!!!

I got the UV test cards in today, and tested the rep glasses. All but the extremely clear blue gradient RB2132 passed with flying colors. I'm not worried about the blue gradient ones, as my pupils don't even dilate when they're on, they are very clear.

I'll post pictures of these tests when I actually have time. Anyway, don't worry about UV light getting through these, they are solid.
