What you can acutally get from Aliexpress with a bit of research (no live links)

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.

Not sure if everybody knows, but there is a separate aliexpress topic about non watch items.

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:

^^^^great research on that redpanda. Also that guy selling it cheap has absolutely no feedback. Huge red flag.

how do you guys find these sellers on ali who are selling rep watches? say you are specifically looking for a certain watch, how can I find it?

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

 

[Juspoole]

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.

This seller is great. I have bought a couple smaller items from them, cannot go wrong! Shipping took a bit, and the spring bar j got with my HBB clasps didn't fit, but I had many laying around so no worries! But other then that, great. Came with a very nice spring bar tool as well.

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

 

[stuwils2000]

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

 

[freeboy]

that is one sweet cheapo Qtz IWC, very nice and 50! I want one!!!

what is the diameter of case without crown?

 

[Nivka]

IWC is 44mm without crown. Lugs fit a 22mm strap

 

[JDuBois]

Anyone come across this or have opinions on this? Seen this and quite like the look of it.

 

[onlytheone]

Anyone ever buy a Pam from aliexpress?
