Molotov Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Seriously it must be a horrible situation to be robbed of your watch with some twat waving a machete. There are some scummy cnuts out there unfortunately. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know if you're buying something of decent quality from Ali, do you use the same sellers or is it just pot luck? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouTube reviewers are helpful, I search on there for a close look at a watch I like. Ali is the same as Ebay or Amazon, a marketplace full of sellers, most are good, some bad. Always read the store's reviews/feedback about the watch etc, common sense, same as you would do with Ebay or Amazon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent an hour or two looking at the stuff they have on there, some cracking looking watches amongst them. Need to have a proper look at the detail on a few of them before ordering. Will need to wait another month until the missus forgets how much I just spent on tickets for the Germany and Hungary games also… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mates out of control with it, got about 47 watches some interesting pieces though, will see if he'll allow pics. Thank you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to get away from wearing the AT every day, a few more relatively cheap but pretty efforts will hopefully fill that hole. Fucked if I want to be spending a few hundred francs every time I get bored with one, and some of the reproductions on there look very decent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I've got eleven, ten spaces in the watch box and one on the wrist, think that's about the perfect size for a collection, couldn't cope with anymore than that. Got a pre order on an Oceaneva titanium GMT arriving in March, (need a GMT in the collection) that will be twelve, just contradicted myself. Thank you. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
