You have to pay attention with all sellers on Ali!!!
I had my first tries with Aliexpress and this is why I landed here and try the real good watches (I hope)
Can send you some pictures for example, where sellers wrote the watches look exactly like on the pictures and the watches they delivered looked like shit!!!
Almost every seller sends you the same pictures!
Most of them are from Gen Watches, I guess!!!

I will not shop at Aliexpress anymore!

Had many Disputes!!!

It looks completly different!
Cheap Dial
No Saphire glass like in the discription
No moving Divers Bezel
A crown instead of the Valve on the left side
The SS Strap is completly no name and cheap
White calendar and so on!

The only thing this watch is good for is for trash!!!

Bought another Rolex GMT2 Pepsi as well!

Stopped moving on the first day and the quality was a mess as well!!!

Are you a beginner?
Is not also known such a thing???
I know of course so far. I think only you don't know.
We don't trust seller's pics.
We have to trust only fb pics of buyer.

Cannot agree anymore. This should be a common practice.

And if I get a picture that looks to good, I will image search it. And if it comes back with something it shouldn't, on to the next.

I'm nervous enough when ordering reps from a TD. Can't imagine doing it on AE. If you compare it to buying from a TD would you say it's worth it? I'd imagine it's more miss than hit, but I might be wrong.

I'd say with a bit of care, homework and knowledge you can find watches which are perfectly fine for 95% of the people out there. 5% remaining being us here. I bought many on AE, never had the misfortune of getting something completely unusable. My wife has been the happiest person on earth few times already. And you save money. Quite a lot. Compared to a TD.
Obviously a super rep is adifferent world but, imho, not every one needs to spend that much more

Could not agree more mate. With some homework, and a lot of research you can. Mine as well! She loves my Sub and a burgundy leather nato I got. She couldn't be happier! But granted I have one super (390 noob) but otherwise, I'll order on AE, and change over some parts! Nothing a DWO, and new bracelet! For have the price of TD. But, it takes a lot of research. My YM I swapped out movements, DWO, and hands. ($130 total) and it's better then the TD one at 190! Now time for dial, and it's set

Who is your preferred seller on Ali?
Found nobody who I could really trust and recommend!

I wouldn't say a preferred seller. All depends on what you're looking for. You have to research, request pics, research this epics, etc. But Henry sells great stuff. His links on here a page back or two.

Nice review, thanks. I do not see the strap which you show in the video in his assortment of straps. Going to go with 36mm Gold S for my girlfriend and 40mm Silver Q for myself.

Thanks for the review, with such a low price I decided then to order my first watche on AE. Actually I bought two: 36mm gold S and 40mm silver K. Was the shipping fast?
