I can’t ever recall seeing one mentioned and I just used the image search function in the app and nothing came back.

Hoping the big guns can find something for you!

There's a couple that have the look, but not the actual pointer date function. That's all I've seen so far.

Function is as important as the look.
Thanks for the tip though.

Agreed. If I come across any I'll let you know though.

I compared the price of a watch using the AliExpress App on a phone to the price on a computer (using the browser) and the price was about 5 USD more on the computer.

I removed my payment method (Debit Card) and it gave me an option to use PayPal on the computer which gave me 3 USD discount, making it only 2 USD more on the computer.

I used TopCashBack which is giving 12% cashback for today only, but with a disclaimer that only certain seller's will give the 12% and there is no way TopCashBack can tell which sellers will/won't.

I mean its not worth the hassle, but if you prefer using a computer/laptop, it's worth a try, if it fails you're only 2 USD down.

This Pilot is a copy of a Laco, I'm considering it. If anyone has already bought it please let me know your thoughts.

I always just use the app when buying stuff myself, as the prices are always the best on there. Normally if you do that and try and use some coupons too you'll get alright deals.

Are you looking for something a bit special during the AliExpress Sale?
Sugess Tourbillon with the Seagull ST8000 movement.

Here's the link to my review of it. It's an older one though, so forgive the quality.


I feature it in the latest AliExpress Sale video too, which will show it off a bit better.

Before I ordered the G10 Military date version, many other sellers had sold out of the date version. The one seller who had the date version is telling me after I ordered that they found a critical flaw when they tested my watch and want to offer me the no date version.

I've refused and asked for a refund and asked them if all the date versions have the alleged flaw.Image

That sounds to me like they didn't have any in either and were just hoping most people who ordered would accept the swap.

The beautiful Merkur Conquer. Unfortunately no longer available, as it was a limited run.
I absolutely love this one.Image

San Martin SN011. Unfortunately this model has been discontinued, but Cronos make a very similar one.Image

How about this one? it doesn't look like the BCPD but has the function and I know you don't like dive watches but this seems to be an original design as opposed to a homage.
