And yeah, I was definitely a jerk there. It looks like you can get the boxes for 30-40 USD on AE. I'd probably prefer to buy the box on AE and still go with a TD, they seem to have reasonable warranties. In other news, this product should be pulled fairly soon, as it has the Rolex logo in the image.

No worries mate, I've been here long enough for the whole trusted TD vs. nontrusted discussion. Only reason I bought this from Ali is the money back guarantee, kind of lets me relax and not watch for the packages and scrutinizing it so much especially in light of the DHL EMS and customs headaches many of us are experiencing in the states. If watch gets stopped by customs? File claim on Aliexpress and boom you get the credit back. No waiting on emails or "approval" for refund from the actual TD, since Aliexpress is a third party vendor in charge of your "funds."
This is starting to be a headache for a Lot of people.. I order a lot for one of my businesses from China, so either all my watch packages will get seized one day or they'll Just come in with my other stuff..

I have nothing against buying from Ali but did Bruce Lee open the case back and show you the movement ? Even if he did the only problem here is that unless the product is not received or is not working on receipt which you need to take a video of as your are unpacking the parcel , your dispute will land in sellers court. So if Bruce lee sends you a watch with 21J inside and claims it is something else in private messages..you are left high and dry. So IMHO the smart play is looking to buy $ 100-120 , ask for pics, compare with gen , look at reviews and if it seems ok ..order . I would not buy anything pricier than that and all the more so if the sole reason is the perceived guarantee. If everything stacks up and you still get bit ..you dont lose much and if it doesnt you gain a fair bit .

If the seller states one thing, and you receive another and send it to Ali, the seller doesn't approve the refund, Ali does. I ordered a speedmaster, which in one pics had the wrong bracelet on it. after asking the seller if it came like that or a mistake, he said mistake in his pictures it came with speedmaster. So sure enough when I got it, it said seamaster. Opened up a dispute after email the seller to resolve it. He did nothing.. Then two days later I get an email saying that since the seller didn't respond to my request Ali would.
But even if Bruce lee doesn't send a v5 to him, if he is unwilling to work a deal in messaging, all the buyer has to do is open a dispute, click counterfeit item, and according to Ali, it's a refund as they strictly prohibit selling counterfeit items. They usually are really good with there money back

Hmm well the seller did not respond so it was a win win in your case. What happens say the seller shows you a different movement via mail or PM and sends you another. You open a dispute seller sends Ali different pics to what he sent you ? Then the fall back would be the cntrft clause ..which I have read but I have one issue with that. From what I have seen and I might be mistaken, Ali says Products you purchased must be labelled as guaranteed genuine to be able to lodge a counterfeit claim. Would love to hear if anyone has any experiences. I have already bought a watch from Ali, my first as a matter of fact and will post pics once I have it
And by no means am I trying to dissuade anyone from buying from Mr Bruce Lee. As a a matter of fact I will be the first in line after I read the review . But I must say the OP who bought that Tudor made a killing..now the bloody things on Ali are more expensive than what the TDs were selling them for when they were being made by ZF. Another thing that crosess my mind is resale. All of us will want to roll over these watches at some point from what I have seen in the sales section, stuff bought off trusted dealers seem to get decent resales.

I used the counterfeit card on a LV wallet. I got quite annoyed with the seller, as he was taking me for a fool. not wanting to be a complete jerk, but I had no choice. His response to me was something like, you bought counterfeit item from China. You are the criminal, something a long those lines.. Lol

And did Ali refund the money for the wallet Mak_10 ? Cos then its a pretty sweet thing I must say
Yep, no questions asked either. I opened a dispute, attached some pictures of the "problem" and never knew anything had changed until I logged back in a couple days later. Says dispute finished.. Logged into my account on the computer viola! Says refunded as per requested (I put 100%, no shipping back) and a couple days later my statement had the refund! So far, I've had great luck with the money back policy. I do a lot of work on alibaba and Ali for small odds and ends for one of my businesses.. So usually I'll look to alibaba find what I need, and for what I'm looking for, usually the same seller has a store on Ali which they sell the same thing, just a couple cents more.. I'll order on Ali just in case something goes south, which it has.. I never request a 100% refund, unless I'm deceived. Then I get angry.. Lol

Way late but did you ever receive this? It's gorgeousThink im gonna pull the trigger on this. Its a quartz and has a few other tells like the dial but for $83 shipped EMS I am cool with it. This is the photo i received from seller. The listing also has 3 reviews that confirm my feeling on it

It's not as cheap as others they sell on ali. Thinking $85 is appropriate but definetly not a screaming deal unless it has a working glide lock. It might have it bylooking at the clasp.

-It places the watch in the winder. It does what its told.

Grand total of $35 from AE, watches are pretty bad but they keep time and look decent at a glance so I don't mind wearing them but the pens are phenomenal!
