Lol. If it's that bad, I'll use the case and movement for a build. Always wanted a bullhead! And I like these pushers better than the seiko and citizen bullheads.

yeah but like a i said a few pages back, the one i posted a picture of from DHgate the seller has stated that its not his store he now only operates on dhgate, so i cant guarantee you get the same watch as mine

is it this one you are talking about? http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Whol...nd-wind-of-wrist-watches-men/32482131804.html
because it has the wrong clasp, my advice would be to order it from dhgate, its every bit as a reliable as ali, ive over 100 purchases from it, you have no danger at all.

I agree the bracelet and clasp weren't the best, hence why its on a zulu strap now! But the actual watch is great for £33!

I've been examining a lot of different pics on ali and dhgate and it seems like there are two different versions out there, the one you bought on ali seems to have a more correct looking bezel so i'm gonna go with that one. I don't really care if they other one has a better more correct clasp since the problems with the bezel are so obvious.
I wonder how the black ones (no version without the green glass) for 100$ measure up, since i actually prefer that design.

Any links on a decent Daniel Wellington seller? Can't seem to find any good DW and looking to buy two and a whole bunch of NATO's, I bought one before for about $10 and it's absolutely garbage, don't wanna risk another junk.

I've bought 3-4 for friends at 6 usd a piece and nobody complained being absolute garbage.. I think that's the value of the watch. Spending more won't save you imho

What i always do is search for the item i want then filter by 'Orders' and view the feedback....that way you can look through the list and choose from the best feedback dealers...works for me.

P.S. I did notice that the search for 'DW watch' does not bring back as many results as it did a few weeks ago. I suspect they are being cracked down.

for example...http://www.aliexpress.com/item/High...484888.html?spm=2114.10010108.100010.6.F9lfLq

If anybody has bought a Belstaff jacket, buying some jacket wax and giving it a new treatment improves its look tremendously...

Just a quick FYI.... Ordered a TAG Monaco watch on the 10th from a seller on DHGate and I selected DHL for $20 extra. He shipped it 11th (yesterday), and I will receive it today the 12th. Man... thats almost worth the $20 extra dollars!

I have been wanting this watch for a couple months now and the original purchase I made from another seller on AE in early December never arrived (refunded).

I will update with photos when it arrives!

EDIT: seller has been on DHgate for 7 years with tons of sales and great reviews...

Yes.
Now i have to clean the dial :(
Some pics
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/81s28t8yumw8lur/AAArdGTNvBsP93MMadVh_gipa?dl=0

I saw this from other seller with the same pictures for 43 USD as well.

I still dont know that the GMT hand setting is broken or it is lacking the setting feature. I will tear down the dial side later.

Still wearing it since arriwed. It was -90 at start. It has strong mainspring dependence with ~0 s/d and ~-30 s/d at high and low spring tension respectively without service. The average is -20 sec in a 4 day period stareted at full tension and leaving the automatic winding to work.

ebay is your friend.

Makes a HUGE difference. A friend came round in his gen and the difference was obvious. Post treatment the look is much much closer. He didn't believe it was fake...
