I bought a MB pen and two sets of MB cuff links. For the money they are great.

Only annoying thing is there is some play in the pen. Trying to figure out if you can tighten.

I will post pics later.

Have you experienced Veithdia before? How are they? Maybe order some fake Aviators or Wayfarers lol?

I am really impressed by the Veithdia sunglasses I bought.
If they didn't have the Chinese labeling on them, I think you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between these and a genuine pair of Oakleys, which I own several pair.
They are seriously that good.

My next door neighbor started buying condoms from Ali Boomboom about nine months ago. Now he's got all these pregnant young ladies holding vigil on his front yard. Be careful with your purchases !! Read the reviews before you order !! ..............hmmmmmm, the word 'boomboom' kinda fits the situation, doesn't it ??

And how are the lens? Are they comfortable for eyes?

I suppose you shouldn't save money on condoms lol.

The lenses are very nice and comfortable for my eyes - comparable to my Oakleys.

I suppose watches are much harder in making. And a brand logo of course. The same with Oaklyes I think. You pay a lot for brand, and much less for optics

Makes you think when you can buy a quality pair of sunglasses for $10.50, just how much profit margin companies like Oakley make on their products.
Wouldn't surprise me if a company like Viethdia actually manufactures sunglasses for some of the larger name brands who just slap their logo on.

I've just ordered a pair of matte black Wayfarers to see if I can get glass lens, metal hinges and metal bones inside the earpieces for $15. Will post a little review when I'll get them. Gonna check Viethdia too.

I've had mixed luck with AliExpress. I ordered a leather bag (which I knew was PU), and when it showed up, the print on the PU was already scuffed. On the first trip, the over the shoulder strap buckles came off, and by the end of the trip, one of the straps was hanging on by a thread. I also have a pair of Tom Ford Wayfairer style sunglasses though that look great, came with replica packaging and everything, and they were cheap enough that I let the kids wear them if they want!

My rule of thumb is now that if it looks simple, it's probably easy to replicate and will be a good quality product (most sunglasses, belts, cufflinks, etc.), but as soon as you're looking for something more complicated (bags, watches, etc.) you have to be a lot more careful where you buy from.
