Had one of the ETA movement reps myself from ali a while ago and they really are practically the same as the gen Edited January 10, 2017 by dfq23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pharmo 33 Posted January 10, 2017 I've had these from Ali and agreed very good value for money... tempted to get an order in! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonyh7 235 Posted January 10, 2017 I've got one from Ali. At the time tried a gen in a dealer and if there were any obvious differences they passed me by. Obviously couldn't compare them side by side. If they are the same thing they are very well finished watches for the money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave47 6,473 Posted January 10, 2017 I purchased one of these Tissots from DH Gate -- PRC 200. Really fine product & solidly made. Popped off the back & examined the movement; it LOOKED gen, complete with "Swiss" markings on the movement. My inexperienced eye didn't help beyond this but this DH Gate product LOOKED close to gen -- even down to the battery used. For the price, one really can't go wrong. Just my .02. dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
porschespeedster 19 Posted January 10, 2017 these have been discussed a bunch on other forums; they are very very similar to gen --- aka if you like the style go for it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was always led to believe that all watches on Ali are junk. You can find a bargain but you need to tread very carefully otherwise you will receive junk. The good thing is, if they take the piss out and send you something which is nothing like they offered, you can file a claim that it was counterfeit and Ali will find in your favour. I would personally discourage that if you know you are buying a rep but sometimes they just take the piss, so then I feel justified and have done it a couple of times. I have a Tissot from Ali with the gen movement which looks like it might be a back door gen. Who knows? I don't really like it anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Genius 281 Posted January 11, 2017 I'm tempted by the $30 hublot from the same seller http://m.dhgate.com/product/wholesale-new-big-discount-t-brand-new-luxury/237835288.html#st-storehome-2-null I don't even like hublot but it has really good reviews and is really cheap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Jimmy 29 Posted January 11, 2017 I kinda prefer the silver dial I think. Not really my style, but could be a good beater. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just be aware that with some sellers on Ali, doing a dispute will guarantee you end up on this list: http://www.vkvan.com/index Wouldn't surprise me if some of the "less reputable" sellers are more likely to put you on it.

The information about this list is very interesting (I had no idea it existed). I checked to make sure I wasn't on it! Whats the list used for? Seems dodgey as hell It's essentially a "blacklist" on buyers on Chinese sites that the sellers maintain. Obviously it's unofficial, but I know Aliexpress sellers use and update it, possibly DHgate and others. You can see how often it is used just by looking at how many people get added to it every day. I had a mate get put on it for some bs reason, did a dispute that he was fully entitled for but I guess he pissed someone off, and I'd assume giving negative feedback would also be incentive for them to put you on it. Some sellers check it and won't sell to people on the list, but I think what is much more problematic is the shared personal information, often including full name, address, and phone number. Not exactly the sort of info I'd want on an easily searchable database. I won't ever dispute something on Aliexpress for this reason or give less than 5-stars for feedback, just not work the risk.

ndelev 0 Posted February 25, 2017 Hi mates! I put the trigger on that Tissot and it arrived with the speed of light. Less than 10 days from China through Singapore to Bulgaria. It came in a rep box. The watch is quite heavy/solid. This is the better part. The worst part is: It is not ETA movement. Subdial at 2 is running secs, big second hand is a microstepper. Subdial at 6 is decoration. Thee bezel (tachy scale) is misaligned and has some blurrings. The date and subdials positions are wrong. I am going to file a dispute. Any advice on how to proceed with it is welcome. Don't get me wrong: I know that imperfections are more than likely, but this guy lied for the movement. I had a prc200 for less money from Ali an year and half ago and it was very decent with the right movement. So I think it is fair enough to get at least part of my money back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dfq23 131 Posted February 25, 2017 That's a bugger mate. You got sent the cheap japanese movement one. If you used credit card to pay i'd do dispute with them first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ndelev 0 Posted February 25, 2017 Thanks dfq! I used a credit card, but I don'think they would help. Bulgarian banks are the last who would refund. And they have taxes for disputes, which would be almost half of the watch price Is it a causa perduta to try with dhgate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
