The hour indices look like they are painted on vs the sandwich dial found with the TDs. Probably not noticeable at 5ft, but it would bug me looking at it on my wrist.
Thanks Waffles, I have very little familiarity with this watch. So I have not paid that much attention. I just looked more closely at a few TD's selections and yes there is a big difference. The Ali would be fine as a novelty watch.

The one thing I did notice was the lack of the Omega signature on the nato's that our TDs have. This cheapo Ali seems to have a signed bracelet.

You're def right on the NATO. I would never have thought to give that a further glance. From what I remember the gen NATO is more of a "seatbelt" texture.

Just went through my saved stores/items and it looks like a lot of the guys that had high sales have shut down their stores. Henry is gone, Mr. Zhao... Some are just removing items while others are closing the store. Will have to see who comes back.

Without going into detail, I have knowledge the eefff beee eyeee is working with AliExpress to do major sweeps of sellers and of other websites selling replica products. So Im sure sellers on AE are getting spooked.

Yep just looking at the Gen today, I agree more like a seatbelt texture also the steel bands are more square than rounded. The lettering is also more distinct on the signature. This watch is growing on me though.

Pity to see Mr. Zhao is gone, I have bought some good stuff off him :(

Hi guys. Don't know much about Rolex watches unfortunately, so I have to ask you. This is a picture I got from a seller on AE. What do you say? Can I trust the pic or not? Seems pretty good? Too good? Or am I missing obvious flaws here?

That picture along with others having the little 'RH' robot in the frame appears many times if you google image search it.

He has just pulled it from the web; those are not your seller's fingers holding that watch.

I wont post the site it comes from, always do your image search before trusting what you see and looking for flaws on the watch.

Looks really good, doesn't it? But can it really be that good for such a low price...?


Well, actually, he sended me these pictures, ( i asked him for the 2836 because he told me in an other mail that the one on his site has a A2813 movement ) saying it had an ETA 2836 for 260.00$, not the same price as on his page
