I'll bring back the pens.. I order three MB pens about three weeks ago. I was hesitant to order them, as I loose pens like no tomorrow.. But oh well. I got three. One for me, two for the Mrs. As she loves pens.. (Skip to the end to read the summary of you don't want to read the whole review! :) )

For the first one:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Star...lver-plated-pen-free-shipping/1227392062.html

I got this for the Mrs. I will actually be ordering another one for myself! Writing decent, the writing on the cap isn't that great, however you can barely see the writing anyways, unless you're looking for it. The white and gold are very nice. The pen feels heavy, but not as heavy as my other two pens I got. The MEISTERSTÃœCK Is spelled correctly as well. So I'd recommend this! I'll be ordering another here shortly! I'm looking for the black and gold one actually.

Here's the next one for the Mrs. She's not too fond of this one, as I was unsure if she would be. But I got it for her anyways and figured I'd take it if she didn't like it. However, now she's holding it captive. So I guess she likes it enough! Haha

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free...llpoint-Pen-NO-128-five-color/1914195923.html

First off, the bags rubbish. I got two, one with this and one with the next purchase. I gave the nicer bag to the Mrs, but I'm going to see if I can clean up the glue everywhere on mine. Take a look at the pics to see what I'm talking about. This pen feels extremely solid. The blues quite nice. The font on the top is good.. Not sure what it's supposed to say.. The text is cut nice, but looks like the bit slipped and let scratches on the pen top. However, when you twist the pen to get the tip out, it feels not fluid. I'm going to grease it up a bit and see what happens. This pen is decent.. It's an okay pen, would really recommend it.

Now on to my pen! This one also came with the rubbish bag, but was in better shape so I gave it with the other pen to the Mrs.

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free...er-Pen-NO-64-school-resin-pen/1914222811.html

First off, the pen feels extremely evenly weighted. The blues nicely colored, the font for Mont Blanc is nice as well! The twist off cap feels solid, and threads feel good. Like, extremely good. No resistance yet it's tight. Extremely fluid. The Stars also very nice. Some small scratches on the silver pieces, but barely noticeable. I would recommend this one! I might see if they have any other color and buy it..

60a6da62ca321acc6c6935b6f411b889.jpg


The two blue pens came with the blue pouch, and white bag. The bags decent, printing good. So summary:

1) White/gold MEISTERSTÃœCK i highly recommend!
2) Blue twist pen with pouch I don't really recommend.
3) Blue twist off cap pen I also highly recommend! Come with the pouch which is rubbish, but the lens worth it.

Total time to E. CONUS 22 days from date of order. Took about 6 days to ship out for the blue pens, and 9 days for the white/gold pen. So shipping was quite quick.

The second one will be the Jules Verne Version of the Writers Edition. The writing on the tops supposed to be the signature of Jules Verne. The look of the pen is very nice...

Thank you sir! Thought it was such, however it's completely not noticeable. Yes the pen looks very nice, and feels solid! The only thing that concerns me is the threading on the inside for the twisting mechanism. It feels very fragile and rough. But I'm going to give it a little more grease and see what happens. I will report back after that! But that'll only help with it being rough, it still feels very fragile. Would be a nice desk piece though.

I also have the same Jules Verne Ball Point and my twisting mechanism works perfectly well. Most probably they come from same factory. Your one must have defective mechanism.
I suggest you contact seller and push him for sending another one.

I got these a little while back, DITA Mach 1, mirrored lenses, real metal, pretty cool. Got them from this seller, http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2105...asses-Gafas-De-Sol-Masculino/32418214846.html he's been pretty reliable through my few purchases. A bit more expensive than other sellers, but I'll take it for good products and fast shipping.

The box is pretty solid, and the case is covered in real buttery leather. The inside is a microfiber lining with the DITA logo very nicely placed inside. The cleaning cloth has the logo as well.

All of the small details are surprisingly well done, makes them have the same high end look as the gens.

While they are really nice, the square aviator shape sadly doesn't work on me :unsure: and I'll probably put these up in the non-watch sales..

Anyway, here are the shots I got, those mirror lenses show off the inside of my light tent a bit too much lol











All in all, pretty cool sunglasses.

Though this Ali game is putting a solid dent into my normal spending habits. It's a lot of fun finding all of these random neat products though. I've actually found brands I never knew about from sifting through Ali products. I've actually bought some gen accessories after finding something on Ali i liked, go figure.

Let me know how they are!

I had a pair of Stone Grey Limited edition Solo 2's come this week and they weren't good. There were 4 small dents on them, and the light from the LEDS on the sides was bleeding through the plastic quite badly, as if the grey plastic wasn't thick enough to block the unwanted light.
I told her i'd be returning them and she said she would discount the next order, but I managed to sell them on cheap.

So my advice is Stick to black and Matte Black. (even though i'm sure matte black is a fantasy model)

I was fancying the Straight outta Compton beats and she said for quality go for matte black beats studio....which I did.

Pretty sure they ain't fantasy though? But haven't looked for gens as such yet.

Happy with both products, especially the Studios......wow! Sound quality is lovely, thumping base without distorting. Battery is yet to be tested fully yet but don't think it will last as long as the originals?
Only let down was the packaging. Which was a bit tatty on both products.

Going for the Bose QC3 next....as long as quality is good cos $110 ain't cheap.

Also got stung £20 on DHL import charge although stated candy headphones $90 value......told her to use EMS next.

Very good item and fit is true to size. I'm 5'11 and usually between medium and large sizes. These are all medium and fit well. I prefer the fit of the pink one best, I think the sizes must be slightly out .

Got these in tortoise and black, much prefer the tortoise . Good product, quality is there but I prefer the pair of tom fords I got some months back. They are also quite small on the face .
