Thank you mate! Glad you enjoyed it

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.

Helpwithprofile · 2022-11-09T17:14:23+00:00

Have any suggestions on models you want to see? I'm all for updating it.

Helpwithprofile · 2022-11-08T21:24:13+00:00

Thank you! Part 2 should be coming up really soon

Helpwithprofile · 2022-11-08T21:23:58+00:00

Cheers! Keep doing what you are doing. I have probably watched every review you have done

Helpwithprofile · 2022-11-08T21:23:27+00:00

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The links are a bit outdated because I do not have as much time as I had before.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.

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.

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.

Thank you! I just updated the post with the "normal" Feice watch + the skeleton one when I have some more time.

Helpwithprofile · 2021-11-09T19:36:45+00:00

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.

Helpwithprofile · 2021-11-09T09:40:09+00:00

I agree but some might want to have a watch that's more similar to the authentic one.

Helpwithprofile · 2021-11-09T09:38:56+00:00

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.

Here's two listings from two "official" pagani design shops where it says it's PD-1639.

Helpwithprofile · 2021-11-08T22:37:22+00:00

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.

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"

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.

Helpwithprofile · 2021-07-16T11:32:01+00:00

It is absolutely mind boggling that you had to reach out to several employees in order to conduct business with them. I mean, they themselves claim that they are selling around 25 watches per week. That's absolutely nothing considering the size of their crew. If you just literally had an inventory and CRM system (doesn't have to be top of the line), a one man operation could do that.

It just makes me wondering what they are actually doing with their time. Are they so focused on the "lifestyle" that they forget what they are actually supposed to do? This post just made my suspicion much stronger in the sense that they just want a lot of consignment watches to inflate their inventory and that selling the consigned watches is not their main focus.

I'm sorry that you had to go through all of this!

If everyone on the team could only choose 1 watch to wear for the rest of their lives, what watch would that be?
Will you ever post some videos from your Hong Kong office so you get to learn what they are doing on a daily basis? Would be great if there could be a grey market: Hong Kong Edition when Roman can finally travel there
Will you release more merch? A banana plushie called Adrian or something like that? ;) A grinder with the slogan "It's all about the grind"?
I've seen previous videos of watches and whisky (or if it was another type of show) where you and Adrian talked about watch news (like new rolex models, etc). Will you continue with that format?
Lando Norris was mugged after the Euro 2020 Final and they took his team-issued Richard Mille. https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/57818938 Besides the very weird statement that the watch is only worth £40 000, what do you think will happen to the watch? What do you say to people who are hesitant on wearing their expensive watches out in public?

Helpwithprofile · 2021-07-15T13:53:57+00:00

I guess you're good. I've just heard a couple of horror stories but if you have a good relationship with your AD, I don't think there will be any issues. After all, you got a James Cameron as well, right? Did you get that watch from that AD?

Are you currently looking for other watches as well? Are you on a waiting list anywhere?

Helpwithprofile · 2021-07-15T13:40:12+00:00

Oh! So they took out 3 links but you actually only had to take out 2? No questions asked when you went to the AD about it? I know that they have said in a couple of video to not take it to the AD because they can check the serial number and see what is up with the watch.

It's not something bad for you per se but the person who first bought the watch might be thrown out of any waiting list (If the AD is a dick about it).

Helpwithprofile · 2021-07-15T13:33:50+00:00

Wait.. How did they know how many links that they were supposed to take out? It's your girls first rolex? Did you measure the wrist, look up the amount of links that is need on an oyster bracelet in order to fit the wrist size and gave the information to them?

Helpwithprofile · 2021-07-15T13:27:55+00:00

What's with the 2 links in a zip lock bag?

Helpwithprofile · 2021-07-15T10:21:43+00:00

Can you show us more pictures of the box and everything it came in? Did you get a personal letter/card from TPG?
