The date wheel looks bad. Not worth 80$ IMO.
How about this for a cheaper price range:
http://puretime.watch/product/yacht-master-ss-rolesium/ or this
http://puretime.watch/product/yacht-master-rolesium-16622-without-rehaut-engraving/
A lot better than that 80$ sh*t




Here's my next purchase I think.. Seller has good feedback, but not much. However some of his reviews are in depth in areas only a true rep owner would talk about! Here's the pics I asked for.. It's 80, I don't think it's to bad. Thoughts??



Band looks not good. But I don't use any OEM bands for watches. I always switch them out and buy some leather Natos etc for them! [emoji16]

Still debating if I want to pull the trigger on a RM watch. I found one with good reviews, but I'm not sure if I'll like the watches. And TD prices are quite high for something idk if I'll like. There also doesn't seem to be a huge RM crowd, so I don't want to get stuck with it if I don't like it. So, I figured a 50 dollar cheapie will do the same. Since all reps are 17-18 mm (cheap and name brand rep) verses the 13mm the gen is.. Hmm..

@Mak_10 I'd say save the 80 bucks, and save up for a decent version. Sead has some very good ones for 200.

This is so-so, to say the least.

Thanks Gents. I will be ordering on from a TD and moding to make better.. Which what I was planning on doing to start :)

It makes such a difference what some QC pictures will show. Omega rep does not look too bad to me. It's still 90 usd but was 66 at time of question and I didn't realize until after it was a 007 version. First is from here. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Luxu...Ceramic-Bezel-Automatic-Mens/32270882397.html

Second is from here http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Luxu...l-Man-watch-blue-rubber-gold/32241582747.html and now shows 90 but at time of question was only 42 usd.

Definitely have to look at seller ratings and number of orders on a watch if going that route. Still tds are best option but it's possible to find some great deals with enough research as you all know. I have not ordered either of these and will not be but still wanted to share. Asia - perfect watch factory thus far has been very responsive. Can't speak for quality.

How common is it to have an Aliexpress seller provide "QC" pics? I put that in quotes meaning just pics of the actual item.

I asked a seller ('Jie Xiao") for that, and received, "sorry, not now".

Ehh.. It depends on the seller. When I look for any item that would warrant a picture, I always ask. Even if they're in the reviews. As, I've come across gens in reviews... Anyways, I have received back "we don't have any" or "the picture is the same just has logo." So it depends on the seller. A good seller will have the pics of his items on his store, with the photoshopped picture. sometimes I find sellers in the description with pictures as well of the actual item. These sellers usually give you QC pics quite fast, and don't have any problems. Usually I'll get 5 or more.. I've even had a seller send me multiple pics of the same one I wanted to order and asked which one of these do you want? So that was like real QC pics! Haha

Thanks for posting the pics! how long does it usually take to have them send QC pics? I feel like it's so tedious to wait n all that.

So far it's been about a 24 hour turnaround. Still nervous to pull the trigger as I know I am so much more likely to get quality watches from a td even though I'm likely spending double if not more. I suppose there is always silix but that could be a gamble as well when dealing with the economy watches which are similar in price to most of Ali.

These also came from Asia perfect watch factory.

If they have a non gmt version of that watch I will pull the trigger and let you know how it turns out.

I just ordered a Noob V5 Hulk from this seller - its 100% legit V.5 with like 50 pictures, tagged with a picture of his computer screen replying back to me! Talked him down to $380 shipped, but complete box and papers and cards. I know TD is same price, but Aliexpress takes credit card and hassle free money back guarantee.

Can you post some of the pictures?

And which seller?

Guys name is BRUCE LEE - very responsive and english not bad either. Tell him you were referred by someone named Austin. Its listed at $399 but I got him down to $380

Wow! An untrusted dealer selling a watch I can get from Ryan for only $50 more than I'd have to pay Ryan! What a deal!

The link also says 1=1! If that's a math equation, it's obvious. If it truly is 1:1, I'm gonna jump right all over that!

After I buy this watch, I'm gonna go do heroin and try skydiving without a parachute, because it's obviously stupid decision day.

Math is not your strong point either I don't think. Ryan's watch is $373 shipped, and this one comes with the full set including box, cards, and papers. Also, it comes with Ali's money back guarantee which has worked very well in the past with shitty products.

Idk if it's jumping out of a plane without a parachute stupid, as in Ali, if it's not what it's worked up to be, you can get your money back quite easily.. If the seller stated this and it's not that, Ali's pretty good about it. I've had two full refunds no questions asked, as the seller stated this, and received this.

And yeah, fair enough, I may have jumped the gun on that one.

You can get your money back for counterfeit products on AE? Interesting

Yep. There is actually a spot for it.. as the sellers are not allowed to sell counterfeit items. If you check it, it's an automatic refund.. At least I've heard. And I had to do on one occasion as the seller was being a huge PITA. Just if you leave feedback, they can taint your name for all other buyers. So beware.
