tframo Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 My experimental purchase from aliexpress has arrived. Paid about $85 for watch which included box and papers. I made this purchase only to see what was being offered on aliexpress and not to bash our td's. It was packaged well. Also included what looks like a chinese good luck charm? Right off the bat I can tell this isn't quite up to the level of quality we expect from our td's. The lume is weak, bracelet is ok, date mag looks low, and the Orange looks too neon. Not sure about the movement. Looks pretty basic and with a plastic movement holder. Anyway. On to the pics. Feel free to comment etc etc. this will prob be on M2M soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droptopman Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 T, thanks for taking the plunge. Definitely not a "super rep". DWO, cyclops, crystal, bezel, lume plots all need some help:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
508-Fanatic Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 woof! But hey, for $85 it is what it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigelow Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Yup. Verified what we'd thought. Thanks for making the experiment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tframo Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 woof! But hey, for $85 it is what it is... Haha. Yup. It's not pretty. May end up donating all proceeds to the sale to rwg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jion Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Not too bad for a $85 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Thanks for trying it out. Can´t get direct shipping to my EU location so it would get too expensive anyway. Not a keeper, it´s what I´d expect from a Silix cheapie in that price range. Nice touch with the simple box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martijnp Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Thanks for this review! If I may ask, how long did the shipping take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tframo Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Shipping took about 3 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xpletiv Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 So this is the equivalent of a Silix cheapie? I'll pass. Looks cheap and the 6,9&12 markers are off enough to drive me bonkers. Mind you, it's not too bad, but, yeah, I'd save up. Very good decision maker on that particular model. Thanks! This is making my mind up about cheapies to keep and not just mod.

sgtguk Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Good on ya for giving it a go mate It's nice to know we do a lot better than this these days ! Still for $85 I can't say it isn't value for money, especially boxed too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edigital Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Have to agree. Not a super rep but for that price point it came with a box, etc so still worth the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
