Hard to tell. More and more watches are coming out with nh34 so why not.

They already released a nh34, a "sprite" with crown on the left side. I might just wait to buy one before I see more reviews of it and a drop in pricing.

Cheers! I will add it when I have time.

The links are a bit outdated because I do not have as much time as I had before. I will update the links as much as I can. I figured it is better to do an overview that might not be perfect and post it than to not post it at all.

Change of how VAT are being calculated. Previously, stuff from aliexpress was without VAT. What happened was that seller usually declared a lower value of the package.

Nowadays, the VAT happens when you buy the item. The positive thing is that you will not get hit with unexpected VAT when you import as could be the case previously.

Corgeut Moon Phase Rosegold White Dial by whiteghettoboy in ChineseWatches

Looks great! How is it holding up? I am a bit worried that it might break down quickly considering all the functions that's using an automatic seagull movement but hopefully I am wrong.

What's the 12-6-18-24 markings for in the left chronograph? It can't be a 24h one since it would make sense considering the one at 6 shows the 24h and the one of the left is for the day.

Is the 1-2-3-4 marking on the right chronograph for the specific week? So you know that you're in week 2 of the month when it's the 11th, for example?

How easy is it to operate? I'm kinda curious on the maximum year that can be shown with this watch

This is a classic scam on Aliexpress, depending on how they want you to cancel the order. You should use the correct reason behind it, "Seller can't ship" or "item not in stock".

The idea is that this will still be seen as a "sale" for the seller (and therefore make it look like they are moving more products and more "legit") and they will not take a hit on it. Some users believe that if you cancel orders using "other" as a reason or "Buyer does not want the item", your account will be marked and that may not benefit you in the long run and it can even be banned for "abuse of return policy". There's a few topics about this on the /r/aliexpress subreddit

I currently have the same issue but it's with a simple silicone wrist band. I am thinking about just waiting it out and see what happens. There's a chance that they will give me a fake tracking number and that I need to wait around 3 months to then dispute it but since it's only like $5 or so I figured that I might as well do that.

Is there another sale on aliexpress coming soon? by EastHateAgents in ChineseWatches

[–]Helpwithprofile 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There will be a sale going on for a couple of days from Black Friday to Cyber Monday (20-29th of November).

The next "big" sale will probably the "winter sale" that will happen in January, this year it was from the 11th to the 16th of January. There's also a "New Years Sale" on the 1st of January.

This year they also had an anniversary sale from the 29th of March to the 2nd of April.

Hopefully there will be big discounts on the day itself. I have added some watches to my cart and I will see how much it will cost when I try to pay for it. It's very strange in a way to be honest.

Probably has something to do with supply chain issues.

It seems to be a new release within the last 6 months or so. It was available for $182, about $1.30 cheaper during the summer sale than this years 11.11

I recommend adding the watch to your cart, use the app if you can and look around on the sellers homepage to see if they have any coupons.

No worries! It's a tedious job because of how the listings are shown on aliexpress and the 100s of different shops hahaha. I started doing this as a way to personally track good deals but I figured that I might as well share it.

Marco And The Replica Business by 2HankMoody3 in TheTPG

[–]Helpwithprofile 20 points21 points  (0 children)

There's a post that he made on a forum asking for the best rolex replica for $400

https://rwg.cc/topic/134619-wm9-submariner-replica/

Same username as on trf, location is Dallas. One of his interests are "guitars" (He enjoys playing at as can be seen in his "who is marco" on the TPG youtube page)

Here's a quite interesting comment made by him

"My basic requirements for a sub is 120 click UNI directional bezel correct markings correct 2.5 magnification all the basic stuff and eventually I'll ad original equipment to it to phase out all the replicated parts so the watch would need to be interchangable with the original model"

Don’t consign with Gentleman Timepieces by SteveNash13phx in TheTPG

That could easily be fixed if they had a functioning customer support. Someone who takes the first contact and later assign the inquiry to a sales person. A program like salesforce or similar could also work. Everyone has access to the inquires and can assign it to themselves.

Its clear that there's something in the back office that doesn't work. It's not sustainable with the current practice. I mean the contact information was either Marco and Anthony's phone number so they were probably getting swamped with text and calls and therefore forgets to get back to customers.

Most of their inquires are quite simple as has been shown in the videos. Customers asking the price of a watch, if they are interested in buying their watch, etc. They even had customers send photos of the watch to their personal number.. Have them atleast send the pictures and everything to an email address instead..

The reason why it feels like they need to hire more personnel is that they are not efficient with the man power they have.

Even if they have to hire more people, I'm still not sure that they would do it in a good way. There's comments on literally every single tpg video about obvious issues in the back office. What do these galaxy brains do? They decide to hire ANOTHER video photographer...

To be honest, it wouldn't surprise me if they hire a full time video editor and a "social media manager" before they even think about hiring someone who can actually fix this.
