dfq23 131 Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Always liked a Tissot and have a gen PRC200 black/yellow that the other half got me for Xmas a few years ago. I have seen Tissot reps on Aliexpress and have heard that the quality on them is really good (loupe stuff from gen) so thought I would order one to see what it is like. I went for the PRS200 T Sport on black leather. Yep I know they are cheap enough to buy anyway but not this cheap... Well it came this morning and I am bloody amazed! The quality and finish definitely seems on par with my gen. The dial is lovely and has a Tag Carrera Racing vibe to it. Not had the back off but from the features it seems it will have the same ETA G10 movement as the gens. The movement itself costs £35 from Cousins UK as I got one not long ago. Came with Tissot tags so I assume that unless you go to an AD, it's likely that this is what a lot of places will be selling. Chrono subdials were slightly off when it came, but that was easily sorted by just resetting them with the crown. The price for this delivered? £53. The seller also had it on steel bracelet for £51 but I picked up a bracelet separately from another seller for £11 so now I can swap it between this and my PRC200 as I fancy. Now for the crappy phone pics Edited June 13, 2014 by dfq23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dfq23 131 Posted June 12, 2014 Thanks guys. It really is worth more in parts than what it cost as a whole watch. You won't get a decent 19mm leather strap with Tissot deployant for less than 20 quid and like I said the movement is another £35. If anyone wants a link to the seller feel free to ask Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dfq23 131 Posted June 12, 2014 Took 5 days to the UK by HK post. The rep bracelet was bit tinny and has hollow end links but then the gen one is tinny and has hollow end links! Gave it a clean and baby oil and much better now. Currently on my PRC200 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
<RJ> 0 Posted June 12, 2014 Thanks for the link. Sometimes its a pita to find the honest sellers. Then when you find them they close soon thereafter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dfq23 131 Posted June 12, 2014 Yep a load have closed in last few weeks that had good stuff. Contacted one and asked why. He didn't say but just gave link to his DHgate store but prices much more than when on Ali Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wez 0 Posted June 12, 2014 Nice watch. I never heard of Aliexpress until now. It's like Chinese eBay...it's good, but be careful and mindful of what you are buying and from who Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KarmaToBurn 1,419 Posted June 12, 2014 Congrats on the new piece. Just browser the link and the seller doesn't have a Visodate :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cynikal.Mindset 1 Posted June 12, 2014 I love aliexpress, I don't even use ebay anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightbird 0 Posted June 12, 2014 Ebay and AE both are good in certain product lineup..I have dealt with both on variety of products and some products can only be found at either one of the sites. So, research both and go for a merchant with good rating. One advantage with AE is that they give a tracking # for allmost all the transactions, but they don't accept Paypal.

Cynikal.Mindset 1 Posted June 12, 2014 many AE sellers are on ebay too but since the nature of their goods are "sketchy" creative searching is required. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted June 12, 2014 It looks gen because it probably is! My money is on it having come out the back door of the factory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted June 12, 2014 Interesting, I have had both good and really bad experiences with aliexpress, but that seller you linked to has a very nice looking Pam going rather cheap at $130 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pharmo 33 Posted June 12, 2014 very nice mate! enjoy Actually you have given me an idea... I have this gen and now am thinking of ordering the same from your seller... http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/100-Original-All-Steel-Strap-Chronograph-Mens-Watch-Sapphire-Glass-Model-T044-417-21-031-00/413728_1356034630.html just to check out the quality. May even do a side by side comparison here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dfq23 131 Posted June 12, 2014 Good thinking mate. Pondering one like yours myself for the money. Have seen some sellers with excellent feedback who offer the PRS516 chrono with 'swiss chip' or 'japan chip' so looks like there are two levels of these reps. Think if you go for ones that say eta, swiss or original movement you will be fine and if not will have grounds for a full refund as Ali are pretty good if things are falsely listed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteveA 308 Posted June 12, 2014 Most of the reps shown don't have names on is rthis because they can't or do they have the name on when you get eg a sterile omega rep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
