Recently picked up a LV Belt from Ali for £7. Ordered on July 6th, delivered July 22 to the UK. I got it from this store: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/1232570

Very surprised with how this feels. Feels soft, very flexible, even smells like genuine leather. I'm not sure how it compares with genuine touch wise, but a couple observations are the buckle is an L shape rather than a square shape on the right hand side of the V. There's no Louis Vuitton stamp on the inside at the back. The LV logo square is too close to the buckle and one of the holes also goes through a LV logo square. The stitching looks grey in the gen website photo but on this belt it's black and spaced closer together.

Photos below, included some measurements of key areas and 2 photos of the inside / reverse of the belt.

Too bad that model does not exist, all black Damiers have black buckles [emoji6]

Overall look is pretty good for 7 pounds

Yeah, it's not bad at all. It wasn't until after I purchased it did I find out the black Damiers ONLY have black buckles. :(

I have a dealer that has a fairly good rep that's only a little more if you want it. I am planning on picking up the Damier.

Some pictures of the ones I got a year ago. I bought the black one and was amazed by the quality, not like that cheapo PU quality. So right away I bought a brown one as well

His store is still up, but I know that he doesn't list these belts no more cause they did close his shop once, but you can contact this very friendly seller and he will send you one

I found an LV Alma MM in Epi on there for 100. The pics are scary close to my wife's gen. I may pick one up to do a comparison since it comes with the shoulder strap. The gen shoulder strap in the purple color is no longer available in the US anyway so 2 birds with one stone lol.
