Hey guys,

So I have been reading up and I know a lot of you guys are sourcing Ali-Xpress for cheap/affordable watches, either homage watches or just something out of the ordinary but with an OK building quality.

I have been looking around on Express but I really don't know where to start looking just because of the sheer amount of watches they offer.

So, please share with us your best founds or purchases on Express so we know where to start looking for a nice, very affordable watch on Express.
Everything is allowed, quartz, mechanical, analog, digital you name it. It just has to be a good watch for an average WUS'er.

Looking forward to your treasure finds!!

Cheers!

I would be interested in hearing your impressions of the Lobinni after it arrives.

I'll be doing a review of it on my YouTube channel. I'd had my eye on that one for a while. Part of the reason I started a YouTube channel, is so I could justify buying more watches

Yes it is 43mm. I have one and I kind of wish it were 40-41mm. Besides that, it is of great quality for the price.

Pagani does a 40mm yacht master that is very nice and a good mod base.

Guanqin also has a new model, not yet on AliExpress, that hits almost all my boxes, except for a Japanese movement. It only seems to be available on JD.com and Gearbest.

Guanqin GJ16217
Nanning 2803 movement, 40mm x 11mm, sapphire crystal, 50M WR

Looks good. Wish there were any real life pictures.

I assume since you mention its a good mod base you've modded one. So the Dial opening is 28-29MM and the bezel insert has the same dimensions as one of the widely available ones? If thats the case thats awesome. I'm definitely gonna order one for my next project.

Reginald vs DOM vs Sinobi...?

Any comments on quality, reliability etc? Do I believe the Reginald ad which says Sapphire??

I’m looking for a cheap quartz Sub/Diver/Explorer as a grab’n’go weekend watch to get beat up in the yard.

Reginald doesn't have saphire. I bought mine from this seller, solid endlinks and better quality than the previous ones I had:

Did I just get the world's greatest deal, or was I scammed?

I just put in my order for a Titanium Ciga Design Z-Series watch.

These go for $249 on Indiegogo, but Vorock.com sold me one for $39.99

The stainless steel versions are $175+ on AliExpress

I payed with PayPal, so how can I get hosed? Yes, I made sure it was really PayPal.

I finally got mine in the mail today. I'm so excited!

Guanquin bounced back to old specs. At a higher price tough!

Is this watch bezel "inspired" by anything? It looks like an original design to me.

They sent me the exact same thing, and I have a dispute at PayPal awaiting the Seller's response. They didn't send ManOnTime anything.

That's Mr. Daddy 2.0! If it was real it would be an incredible deal (not that I would want it), but it's a fake, of course. Diesel has them listed for $162 (50% OFF the $325 MSRP).

I made the point that they sent me something that is illegal to sell in the US.

Sweet Jebus this thing is ugly as sin. Not only does Diesel sell them for that much but someone actually bothered to make a fake one. I'm not sure which is worse.

Certainly not my cup off tea! But if we all liked the same it would be boring as hell..

The outer boxes are disinfected but will the virus survive on the watch metal surface inside the box after a week?

Me also.

Second time I've had one of these bait-and-switch scams. They're hoping that just a couple of people won't bother to ask for a refund, and that's their profit.

Why d'y'all buy this monstrosity? Maybe I'm missing something... Did the 3 of you purchase the same (advertised) sterile Diesel knockoff, or a totally different watch and they sent this 'thing' ?
