Ha ha that explains it Mickey, just bought some pens from Ali as a first try so it'll be interesting to see what they are like when they turn up. 2 MBs for £6.60 posted, so even if they're crap its throw away money anyway.

I've had a few pens from Ali and also from Trusty Time. Same quality, all take genuine refills.

If something's too good to be true, it probably is. The pictures they are using are from a guy selling noobs for 400 USD:

I just received this IWC:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/luxu...wristwatches-watches-designer/1686499715.html

From this seller:
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/1186267

I must say I'm pretty happy at this stage. It's a quartz, but says automatic on the dial. The chrono works perfectly well (minute hand on subdial at 12). The chrono sec hand is stepped. Chrono sec hand resets perfectly to 12. Subdials are recessed. Keeping good time after a couple of hours. Strap was crappy of course, but the buckle was engraved, so I'll swap that. Can't complain for $50

Thanks for sharing [MENTION=100385]Nivka[/MENTION]. IMO I would be pleased with that purchase as well for $50.

The lettering looks a bit off to me. I'm no IWC expert but for what you paid I think you got a solid deal.

And glad it actually says automatic. Did you ask the seller if he could source an automatic version for say $20 - $30 more? That could be a route for future buyers.

I didn't ask about automatic. I've had some crappy automatics from Ali in that price range and thought quartz might be safer.

As an aside, the chrono minutes hand is scaled wrong; after 20 mins, the hand at 12 shows that 10 mins have passed. I guess the scaling is just wrong

Indeed we will see, will try the £60 Explorer if all is well.

Kinda hoping for an AAA GMT with 2813 for £34 but will prob be AA

The best bit of the £34 was the 5 day fee delivery to the UK. Watch was as expected poor quality AA.
One for the bin
