Put in order just after your posting. But now shop closed.
Are you in touch with the shop by other means than AE?

No, I don't maintain contact. Don't worry about your funds though as they're held in escrow. Just open a dispute and you should get it back easy peasy.

Well I use Gmail and it doesn't put emails into spam if you have already used the email address. I did check anyway and as I expected none in there. So they ain't replying.

Bad times are coming :
here is the explanation why many stores on AE are "out" :

techinasia.com/jack-ma-lays-alibabas-brutal-strategy-war-fake-counterfeit-goods
(copy and paste this link to READ - this is not a link to any AE seller)

Harder to find any REP in AE jungle...
and maybe impossible to contact a seller that has been cleared-out

Nothing significant is going to happen anytime soon, Alibaba have talked about removing counterfeits for years, but they won't, they may make it a little harder for sellers but Alibaba DEPENDS on counterfeits, it's been driving their business and has actually provided a path to the middle class for many of the sellers on those sites (Taobao, Aliexpress), at the end of the day, he just has to act like he wants to make big changes.

Hi All
Can anyone comment on how they gauge the quality of reps.
e.g. if you look at H belts the range on AE is from 15 to 55 $. How do you guys decide what is the diff between the 15 vs 55$ rep?

Imho it's impossible to tell unless you get real photos of both reps and can see a difference. There is a good chance they are the same rep. Even some sellers have same product at different prices. The other point of difference could be packaging or seller with better communication or faster postage. Bc there is no quality control it might be the same rep just with less flaws. It could also be the same rep but polished after it is machined. You can ask the seller the difference but high chance they will bullshit you or lie.

No real way of knowing without buying both.

That's the beauty of aliexpress - file a dispute and get your money back within a few days if there's an issue, unlike the alleged "trusted" dealers here. Problem gaijin? Ship China, get back six months, no care customs take it! I have a funny feeling that forum crackdown on links came after non-watch dealers (*cough* Bergies *cough*) realized people found a source of their "1:1 made from five genuine samples melted down into one rep" for 1/5th the price they normally charge and started whining to the admins.

I've had TDs offer me a refund when there's been a problem: it's not unique to Ali.

I've also had a TD pay for some repairs and another one send replacement parts for repairs. I've bought from 4 TDs and found them all trustworthy (actually more than just trustworthy, ie providing excellent after-sale support and customer service)

Hi and welcome. You can gauge the quality of reps on the main rwi forum in each brand section.
Please don´t call these watches here reps. These are sub-par FWW (fake fantasy-watches) on AE from 15 to 55 $. And they are the cheapest of the cheap available - even on AE.
A rep will cost at least $110, a good rep from $168 upwards and that quality is still very far away from the visual quality of super-reps in the over $300 range.

Anything that costs $55 is a sub-par fake watch, it does not have the status of a rep and only leads to further confusion.
