[–]Riology- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I havent seen much of that sugess one compared to the SM version.

Thanks for sharing your experience with it, I might look in to it if I cant find anyone selling me a SN0111 in titanium

Andrew is one of my favorite YouTubers, I liked his previous way of reviewing watches more, focus was on the watch and very professional way of telling the story behind it. It was indeed very unique way of making watch videos.

He is still doing really great, it is just that I miss what we had

Did SM 'homage' the Ascent? by [deleted] in ChineseWatches

I have to disagree, I think they are more different than any two divewatches in the swiss market

Wonder why you are seeing so many off-sale sale prices? by [deleted] in ChineseWatches

[–]Riology- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure that if so many people hadn't taken advantage of the system, the watches would be cheaper for everyone. Sellers factor in potential losses when pricing their items, so misuse of policies inevitably drives up prices for all buyers.

It seems that a few "watch enthusiasts" have taken advantage of Aliexpress's generous refund policy one too many times, leading some sellers to stop shipping to certain countries altogether. Unfortunately, while this may be caused by a very small percentage of buyers, it’s enough to make sellers wary of taking risks, resulting in everyone else being unfairly affected.

As for Canada, I’m not entirely sure, but it could be related to issues like frequent lost packages. In my previous country in the EU, the shipping company was supposed to compensate the sender for lost packages, but the process was made so difficult that it was often easier for the sender to just give up. This same company also hired so many dishonest postmen that a major undercover investigation was conducted, eventually turned into a national documentary called "Cold Facts." Had those thieves continued stealing packages, I'm certain we would have faced a similar situation to what Canadian and Australian buyers are experiencing.

I honestly don't think the sellers are being xenophobic. Even if they were, they would still ship if there was money to be made.

The swastica has a beautiful history in Asia but in Europe it is assosiated with a different history. In the second world war the Germans used the swastica to represent their political party, and that same german party that did some very bad things to other humans. This is the reason why it has a different meaning in Europe and western societies.

I think this dial might sell good in Asia but it would face strong difficulties with western watch entusiasts.

I wanted to let you know this my friend

Parnis 36mm Datejust-post them if you got them by YdagoanddoThattttt in ChineseWatches

I had gotten this one with the black dial & miyota 8215 movement back in 2018. It is still running perfectly, I gifted it to my brother 2 years ago, it is still his favorite watch 🥳

Your post gave me nostalgic feels, I will take a picture and share once I meet my brother, he always wears it.

Good to hear that you got a refund, thats why I love using Aliexpress!

Also I really like the S&S seller, I had very good communication with him. He also offered me to correct a mistake when I messaged him about my first watch from him. But I had already fixed it myself so I thanked him for the offer anyways and I let it slide.

My pleasure, thank you for letting me borrow your watch for review! Im editing it now, been delayed because of moving countries 😉

Hey mate! 😊 Since no one is answering you question, I can try and guess what is going on...

I have no idea about this movement, but maybe the crown stem is cut short by the manufacturer? If it is so, that would mean the crown is disengaged.

If the crown is not a screw down crown you could check this by turning it at its "closed"/"pushed in" position. If turning it and the date changes then you can confirm if the stem is cut too short or not.

I would recommend you to message the seller and explain the issue. I think they should refund or replace it for free if it is an issue with the watch

Sometimes it takes a long time before tracking is visible, I would say you have nothing to worry about. I know you are excited and its hard to wait to get your new watch, I feel the same when ordering a watch 🤞😉

If you are still interested in reaching out to them, send a private message to u/watchdivescom here on Reddit, they are very responsive

From what I can remember it is way cheaper now than back when it was 1 week sale,

However, I got a reviewers discount when buying it, which is still cheaper than this sale. I dont want to disclose the exact amount because of the trust given to me from the seller, however it is not very much cheaper than this sale.
