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

Do you guys know that this belt is easily identified as a fake one ?
The L and V must be parallel which is never the case.

What do you mean parallel? I've seen a gen monogram initial at the store recently when we went to go get my wife's bag cleaned and it looks pretty on par buckle wise. Unless I'm missing something.

Here's the Damier. Besides the corners and the fact that the Louis Vuitton checker always starts at 5.5 squares in (which none of the factories can get right for some reason) it looks pretty close.

The vertical stripe of the L should be in exactly the same direction as the right stripe of the V.

That they are parallel to each other

Looks like the factories corrected it. Afaik the major tell from the front is where the checker that has the logo on it starts. The gen is always 5.5 squares in from the edge of the belt. And the gen buckle doesn't say Louis Vuitton on the back of the buckle. Besides that it's a pretty good rep.

Oliver Peoples NDG are shipped! Now just waiting on 4 pairs of wayfarers that are processing.

How fast have sellers gotten shipments out for you guys?

For me the sellers have shipped the items after processing between about 1 to 6 days, then postage has been about 7-10 days to UK on last 6 orders ?

That's actually pretty good. I was surprised that one seller got my glasses shipped within 12 hours. Very excited

Yeah for me it really depends. I've got sellers ship in a day to a few days but also weeks. And some shipments were very fast but others lasted months to arrive. Lol

As long as you stick with trusted sellers you should be fine. I have one still not shipped since 5th July and the seller has given me 2 fake tracking numbers so far.only a cheap quartz dress watch for the wife so not bothered really.
Got my 55 size 2132 wayfarers today. Top quality as the last but noticed the arms are a differant shape around the ears compared to gen.will post a comparison tommorrow

The box appears more gen than the last also as it's closed on one end ; it doesn't open with a flap both ends like the last pair.the gen boxes are made the same way

Damn, those shades look pretty good.

I only bought from highly rated sellers, at least as high as I could find on the items I wanted, so hopefully it won't be an issue.

Can confirm that I am regularly getting stuff to the UK and all (about 40 items) but 1 have arrived between 7-14 days. Some stuff has actually arrived in 3/4 and even some other things arrived from Germany.

Seems it's way faster to receive things from China towards UK. I have the feeling alot goes to UK first before being sent out to Europe. Here in Spain it's usually about 20 days to a month. Unless sent out with NL post or something similar

Yeah this one is really nice for the price. Right LV shape, black inside, and the pattern is really close to the gen one.
Dont forget to post some pictures when you received it !

Don't forget on that LV buckle and belt ALL BELTS ARE MADE IN SPAIN; At the beginning of the belt there should be half a square, or bbetween 6 n 8 columns (lines) of color. Then starting at buckle end there should be 4 empty squares then the Louis Vuitton print then after that print there should be the next 10 squares away. And the printing on the back.
