Why do people keep going on about the Spectre and the 12? 12 on the dial and 10, 20, 30 etc and no lollipop is a rep of the standard 300m just on the Bond Nato. These aren't additions but are correct for a different watch!

1,2,3 etc, lollipop and no 12 on the dial is the Spectre version

This is the TAG Monaco I ordered 20 days ago...

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hot-...s-watches-wristwatch-CAW2111/32303548149.html

Ive been pretty excited to receive this watch, yet nothing. All of my other orders including 4 other watches have arrived already from various other sellers. After first noticing this seller gave me fake tracking info I reached out to him for a real number. No response. About a week ago when I received my other watches ordered at the same time I reached to this seller again for a tracking. Nothing again. After reading the feedback from this seller its a mixed bag. Slow shipping, fake tracking #'s, never receiving items, etc. I decided to open a dispute to force the seller to provide tracking info. We will see what happens. Someone had left feedback on a watch they bought from this seller and he too opened a dispute to get tracking info and never got a reply. If I get no reply a week from now I will get a full refund. Thats great, but Id rather get the watch! Cant seem to find this particular model (worn by steve mcqueen in the movie Le Mans) any where else.

Personally think that 20 days is not an unreasonable time to wait for an item to arrive

I would only open dispute after around 40 if im being fair and honest

The lack of tracking number is frustrating, but the key is being patient

Hope you get your item/monies returned however...

I agree here. Sometimes I wait 30-35 days (the longest) and it's usually around that when they put a fake tracking. Also think about the holiday rush right now, I wouldn't be surprised if that delays t too.

Im on the west coast of the US. Ive ordered countless items now and all have arrived within 14 days of shipping. I travel a lot and see that our international airport has 20+ flights a day arriving from Asia, many of them from China so shipments here are fast and frequent. This seller "shipped" only a day after all of my other orders which arrived this past monday. I really should have received the package unless customs is holding it and there is no way for me to know that without tracking info. Ive also never had a package lost so again should have received this by now.

Bottom line, if this guy had great feedback I wouldnt be concerned and would have waited longer. Not replying to customers at all and providing false tracking is pretty crap business if you ask me. The 5 star reviews when I ordered seemed fine... just now seeing 1 star reviews popping up for similar problems.

Yeah it's possible man. I order ALOT from over there (2-5 packages a day for my business). Some items take 7-9 days, others 30-35. And it's the holidays. Some stuff is quite unpredictable. Some stuff takes trips across and throughout the US and then arrive. Some a postal issues, some sellers. It's really unpredictable when it shouldn't but it is..

I saw this one, no feedback on the seller and if I was paying this much I would probably go the TD route anyway. It looks good though.


I agree with still going with a TD just for the fact of being able to count on the support of the community whereas on ali it's more a less a crap shoot and hope what you receive indeed resembles the picture and is not a canary street model Especially from the sellers on their with 0 or low feedback with no pics. At least TDs will for the most part attempt to go the extra mile for you should a problem arise. But to each their own. I bet there are some high quality sellers on there but I wouldn't want to take that gamble on a rep watch maybe on rep other items i.e. belts, wallets, etc.

This one: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/all-wholesale-products/1969300.html
He said he has got that for $120
It looks 1:1
