AliExpress experiments - Non-watch products

Nice find! I found several sellers offering this watch roll. The reason I went with the one I did was based on that he was responsive. And I just checked my order again, looks like I only paid $13.

I actually got this same watch roll when you posted it several pages back. It works pretty well and can fit 3 pams in there no problem.

I'm satisfied as well. It's definitley spacious enough for my needs. And I saved some money as the seller of the $78 LV roll I originally wanted couldn't provide it.

Can anyone recommend any inexpensive watch boxes preferably reasonably nice quality. Cheers

 

[evilpenguin]

Lol, one thing that's sure if you order from Asia is that you have to be patient. But surpassing a month seems like a lot, based on my experience.

Anyways, here is the scarf I ordered on 11.11. I believe I paid $17-18 for it. It looks really good!

And here is a watch roll I also recieved, which also was ordered on 11.11. I bought this as I had no luck with getting my hands on a LV one, and I started running out of time. This will be nice as I travel frequently.

Edit: Forgot to mention the price of the roll, I paid $17.

How soft is that scarf? Stan at WBK sells some that are a cashmere / synthetic blend for $20, but the label is completely wrong. Yours looks a lot more accurate.

For the money it's really good. I guess it's as soft as you'd expect a scarf like that to be. I'm curious to see how it holds up against the cold weather here in Norway.

It says cashmere, but to be honest I don't know too much about fabrics. Maybe someone else can chime in? I know a lot of people in this thread has bought those scarves.

I don't know these scarfs, but I do know my fabric/wool.
There are some simple tests you can do:
Pull out a few strands/fibres from the scarf.
Burn them with a lighter.
If the fivers smell like burnt hair: the it is natural/wool.
If it burns and there is black fumes and/or
It melts: artificial.
To determine if it is cashmere(goat) or lambswool is a bit trickier and subjective:
Cashmere "reflects " heat. If you have something made in lambswool(sweater or eq) and place one your hand under it, so your the top of your hand is in contact with the wool. At the same time cover your other hand the same way with the cashmere scarf...
With normal wool you need to heat the air in between the woollen fivers before you feel the heat.
Cashmere "reflects" the heat much quicker.

I just got some pens(4) and cufflinks I am impressed with the cufflinks and a little disappointed in the skywalker mystery pens. But I guess it is what it is. I also have a few more items being shipped and will post pictures as soon as they arrive. I do have one question to the group here... Has anyone bought this ? Or know where i can find a good quality one?

 

[FGRX]

How do you guys find the good cufflinks I seem to get lost in page after page of random trash? Looking for some nice Gucci printed cufflinks not the ostentatious Interlocking Gs - something like these

Perhaps you guys can help me out: I have a dispute with a seller on Ali, I ordered a black leather watch strap. They sent me a dark brown one(there was never a black version)
They told me the usual "My friend, we give you discount on your next order.. Etc etc"
I really do not need this dark brown strap, even if it is really nice.
To avoid having to return it, I found another strap in their shop, and asked for the discount.... A whooping $3 off, or 10%.
I refused this. I told them I would agree on 50% discount.
When I opened the dispute they accepted this.

Now they say "yes , we agree 50% and send a new strap for you , please make an new order then we can charge the price for you"
That's not how it works, right?
Then I have payed full price when ordering... Or am I missing something?

So, they fixed the price on this, I paid and now they want me to cancel the dispute. If they are a-holes they will not ship and just say "sorry, not in stock." Am I just paranoid?

 

[Arttylux]

I am getting feed up with Ali....

Thanks for this info, i got my scarf from the same seller, I will have to test mine but what I will say is I felt my scarf and i felt an actual burberry at the same time and the gen burberry is slightly softer but not by much, but I also felt my scarf compared to other cashmere scarves from other companies and my rep burberry felt just like those scarves. I think Burberry uses a slightly softer cashmere compared to other companies.

Cashmere is sensitive to coloring, usually, with no after treatment, cashmere will be softer the lighter the color.
Pure China white will feel like butter. Black will feel like merino wool.
But some of it can be rectified by rinsing out the surplus color, treat it chemically and "fluff" it. Solid colors are not as soft as heather type colors.
Btw.... I work with cashmere... Lol

Oh, ok, this makes sense cause the soft gen burberry scarf i felt was a lighter beige color but my scarf is black and the other scarves that weren't as soft was the burberry gen were black/dark grey too

would you mind PMing the link to the scarf to me? I agree with the comments about the label on the ones from Stan.

Anil Arjandas order from 11.11



That's one of 7 pieces. Everyone is really epic quality and I guess it's 1:1 as I'm looking on anil's website. Rly decent item
