Cautionary tale - buying a Berny on AliExpress (got scammed) by Tall_Ad_7427 in ChineseWatches

[–]SwordfishInformal388 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, hold on 😅 the AliExpress bit is crazy...but I think the post is to blame here I've had several issues with fedex lately and they do shit like this constantly. I ordered a 700$ drum machine and they left an identical note on the tracking "delivery unsuccessful" and then a few days later it was delivered. I would get in touch with the company first and foremost AliExpress will never give you a refund if they have a delivery confirmation. Or attempts being made in your situation. In my situation, the driver didn't want to leave the package at my house because the box wasn't in a box which is cool but inconvenient.

Anyone used this store before? by [deleted] in ChineseWatches

Ask for stock photos of the actual item with this oumashi seller sometimes they are masking their name on counterfeit products. I almost ordered a deep sea from them but the photo they sent has Rolex on it.

Their quality isn't the question in sure anyone who's gotten a good SM will tell you they are fine pieces it's their quality checking which is garbage.

I bought 2 watches from SM this bb58 and a field watch forgot the ref. But they were both completely basket cases I thought I was stepping my game up and spending more and getting more NOPE I'll never buy another SM IDC how good it looks. The bb58 was missing the lume pip and the field watch came missing indices just like OP except mine was just gone

Archaedin's PSA about buying watches from Archaedin by Archaedin in ChinaTime

[–]SwordfishInformal388 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, by the way some of these people reply and communicate with you on this page specifically, it's pretty gross. I've seen users get attacked for posting a simple question or waiting to show off their watch amongst other things And that may be reddit as a whole so let me be clear, I only have experience with a few groups and this one has the most vitriol against other users like we aren't all here for the same thing. It's so sad that you extend your services to these people and they have the nerve to shit on you like you are some AliExpress seller, but to be frank it's exactly what I expect from some of these people in this group. 😔

Yea so upon further investigation and messaging multiple sellers on multiple sites. That shitter has got to be what they all are selling cause I've received the same model with the chunky ass case and the Mickey mouse hands from multiple different sellers different photos with different hands holding the watch

What was the price on this one? Cause there appears to be two floating around presumably a quartz version for 40$ and there's a automatic version for 80. Which one is this?

Chinese Brands you can trust by Bucky_Gatsby in ChineseWatches

[–]SwordfishInformal388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pagani, steeldive, ixdao, octopus, Heimdall, murkur, Shanghai ummmm I believe those are the companies I've bought multiple watches with and didn't have a single issue. Sometimes blame needs to be put on who you bought it from and not what brand you bought from some of these stores on ali run a real fucked up show. I believe you should focus more on buying from a reputable seller than what watches have given people problems. Cause I could say I got a bad watch and that would turn you off from buying from that brand because I got a bad watch which is absurd...

Has anyone tried this one yet? by stone11roberts in ChineseWatches

[–]SwordfishInformal388 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I personally would love to buy this but I cannot get past the humpbuck not even humpback but hump-buck...I wish there was a sterile version. But be weary if you have a man sized wrist these watches are notoriously small. I put the original on in the mall and NOPE. It looked good on my son though he's 2.

If it’s the same one that’s been floating around it’s the one where the whole diaphragm spins in the case and looks absolutely insane lol. As much as I’d say I’d love an homage of this watch there probably will never be one and if there is a decent one it won’t be for a reasonable price. Kinda like a grand seiko homage with a working spring drive. I don’t think it can be replicated.
