link please? edit: nvm found it a page later.

The wife has just received this Michael Kors bag. She really rates it and can't seem to find any faults. Cost about $25 and took 2 weeks to UK. She's ordered another 2 since.

Package arrived today. 3 Holbrook sunglasses. Man oh man.. Lets say that. First off, conclusion: Get them. Link at bottom! I own five gens and now three reps. First off, weight is spot on. Seriously. Tested it via a homemade tilt scale.. lol Okay let the pictures do the talking:

A gen pair:

Now the package:

The goodies: got three of everything shown!

The printing on the box is a little off on some.. just looks 'worn'. Nothing more! But all the prints present and in the right spot.

Thought the labels were funny.. Clearly not the right product :laugh:

this polarized tag doesn't belong there... lol

Stitching not to bad!

assembled!

Now time for the glasses.. I ordered a smoke pair, with black lenses:

Vs Gen (Gens are on left in all pictures):

A purple smoke with black lenses:

Studs a little off as you can see

Vs gen:

A black pair with Yellow O on the sides.. VR series. I also took pictures of the engraving, as it was great! The engraving on them all were fantastic. Gen quality.

Enhanced the brightness/contrast to make it out better

Vs Gen:

Homemade balance scale lol The weight is the same, within tiny amounts.. I can get exacts if you want with my scale at work, but you get the point off this.. haha :laugh:

All in all.. Get them. Wells worth the 11 bucks. I will be ordering a couple more.. The only thing is there is a tiny mark on the O on the smoke and black lenses. They are ALL polarized and actually polarized.. Well test for sure at work tomorrow. The stud is a little tiny bit off on the purple pair, but not too noticeable. They are awesome. Hinges are identical.. Get them!

Thanks mate!!

I am SUPER particular with sunglasses.. As I have such sensitive eyes.. But these work great. I'll know more tomorrow in the dead sunlight.

I wanted more brands, but I get such a good deal on Gen spy's Ray Bans and dragons, that it's not worth finding a rep. But these fit the bill perfectly. 11 bucks a pair, three weeks to the CONUS (nj) can't go wrong!

So I've been testing my sunglasses.. It kind of concerns me. How do I know what I am buying at third party stores? There's literally no difference, except price..

Seems that the store sells air... no products at all!
Am I doing something wrong?

 

[hector]

I took me several days before i've decided to buy from aliexpress, but make sure you do a search base on item sold and buyers review, the more sales and more reviews the better the success,

I purchase 4 more items,

1- assorted watch gasket seals

1- assorted watch o-rings seals

1- bluetooth headphones with noise canceling

1-assorted watch spring bars

They should be here this week or next one

Got my first shipment in today after reading through this thread a while back. 2 Montblanc pens, a Meisterstück ballpoint and a Starwalker rollerball. They both look pretty darn good for the price, and the weight of the Meisterstück is spot on with the gen ones I have; the Starwalker is even heavier, but I haven't handled a real rollerball of this model so I can't say how close it is. Both pens do have serials and the engravings are sharp. Shipping took about a week - not too bad. Here's the links for each one:

Now for pics; the gen Meisterstück is on the left in all pics. Sorry if they're not the best, but I have bad allergies right now and I can't focus my DSLR as sharply as I would like with blurry vision.







And the Starwalker.

The photos have pure time watermarks. Fraud or is pure time on Aliexpress now too?

Just had one of my orders turn up, 2 pairs of 2XU compression tights. Got one pair with blue accents and one with black. Cost me $25.90 per pair, and I paid around $20 for DHL shipping which got them to me in Singapore next day!

Just tried on the black pair, and the compression is great, can't wait to try these out in the gym.

How is the twist action of your rep ballpoint compared to the gen pen you have?

How is the twist action of your rep ballpoint compared to the gen pen you have?

To put it simply, it's not quite as good as a gen pen. Out of the box, the action was alright, but me being me, I had to try to make it better. I greased the spring at the tip of the pen as well as teflon-lubed the twist mechanism in the end - with these mods, the action is 100x better, and relatively close to gen. All roughness was taken out, and the only noticeable difference between gen and rep is an audible click at the end of extension and beginning of retraction, but I think this may be due to the rep ink refill that came with it. I threw in a spare Monteverde refill I had laying around, and the click is all but gone, and certainly isn't audible - the lock just isn't *quite* as smooth as gen. Unless you tried them back to back or use a gen on a daily basis, you wouldn't notice anything amiss.

The only other build difference that I noticed was that the thread tolerances between the bottom and top portions aren't perfect, but once the two are tightened together, there is absolutely no play. Overall, this is certainly better than any other $15 pen I've used, so I would definitely recommend it.
