What you can acutally get from Aliexpress with a bit of research (no live links)
- Thread starter dfq23
- Start date
The seller's photo is that of a replica. If you see the date cutout, it is rounded and not sharp, unlike the Gen. I have a Gen Explorer 2 so I can spot some subtle differences, which was why I contacted the seller to ask for real photos, which he claimed the ones in his listing are.
I photoshopped the photo and used it as evidence for my dispute. The seller's original photo did not have Rolex, so I photoshopped mine out as well.
I got some Persol 714 Steve McQueens from Aliexpress and they are really good for the money, well happy with them. Also got some Tom Ford 211's, again impressive- too big for me so I'll probably flip them on here in the next few days
Awsome! I was just looking at some of those exact glasses on there and was curious about the quality. Good to know some decent ones can be found on there.
[MENTION=101457]Kaisperm[/MENTION] - these are more or less experiment purchases. Sometimes there is a diamond in the rough which you can get for significantly less than our TD's charge. Perfect example would be:
- Tudor Black Bay
- MB Pens
- Sunglasses
yes often the quality will be crappy, but sometimes you can luck out and get something worthwhile and not spend as much. It all depends on the seller and making wise decisions. Read reviews, see how many orders there were, and always check real life pics.

Hello guys again. I'm thinking of buying this one.
Does it look at least a bit like the original? Anyway the feedbeck is very good and the watch is very cheap.

I just received a couple of MB fountain pens. One Starwalker like [MENTION=52234]Ruski91[/MENTION]'s and one traditional black Meisterstuck. Both use the piston-style converters and draw and store ink like they should. I have to say that I am extremely impressed by the fit, feel and overall quality of these very inexpensive pens. As a caveat however, gen Montblanc pens are known for writing a bit thicker than other pens and these reps follow suit. I normally use fine or extra-fine nibs on my fountain pens and these reps write very differently. The nibs that the reps come with are the equivalent to a gen "medium" (maybe even a bit thicker), so the writing is relatively "wet" and wide. While narrower gen MB replacement nibs might fit these reps, I'm not about to spend $100 per nib to find out... Instead, I'll use these for those occasions when I want a thicker line and in the mean time, they'll look very nice hanging out on my desk.
As promised - pics of the pens and baby shoes. I am very happy with them.
Here are some quick pics of the mentioned pens...
First is a comparison shot of the rep Meisterstuck fountain (left) next to a genuine decades-old ballpoint version (right). The text font on the rep's cap is slightly larger than the gen, but the rest of the pen is visually pretty much spot on.
And here are a couple of shots showing the nib and cap detail of the reps.

This is complete shite lol. It doesn't get any worse than this. Canal St. Rep for sure. How could you even ask? The mistakes are glaring and comical.
Hey Guys.
I ordered this Rolex Sea-dweller for like 38$. Wha do you think. Good purchase?
