MoT's WDF

Alright guys, so if any of you were active on WUS and are into AliExpress watches, you might recognise the title of this thread [emoji6]

If you don't know though, it was basically a thread to discuss and recommend the best watches on AliExpress. As well as sharing pictures of your AliExpress buys and tips and tricks to get the best deals.

Here's one of my best picks to get the ball rolling.

Paging @Miggyd87

I appreciate the thought but...

1) it's a homage of the BB58...not the BB36
2) it's for sale on AliExpress...I've had bad experiences and rather not buy from there again
3) I wanna step up my game. No homages, no similar but not it.

It's Tudor BB36 (79500-0004) or bust.

This just arrived from AliExpress:

Diameter: 39mm
L2L: 47mm
Height: 14.5mm
Crown: 6mm screw down
Domed acrylic had to be glued in by a friend and I started fading the bezel insert this afternoon.
Bezel insert is standard SKX size, which opens up a plethora of options.

Nice. What are you planning on doing with it exactly then?

Saw what happened on WUS. Were you given any warnings, or was it a one-and-done?
In any case, thanks for coming here and setting up this thread! I like it better here myself.

I've bought one of these fluorine rubber straps during the current sale. The images in the listing make the strap appear exactly the same as a rubber strap Mushi sold while their store was still in business, down to the shape of the holes in the tail end and the shape of the keeper-holders on the buckle end. Will report back here with my findings, because the Mushi rubber is absolutely great on all counts-- especially at $10 or less.


I also ordered the new Pagani Design BB GMT homage. Bit of a gamble since the official pictures were photoshopped from an actual BB GMT-- the GMT hand is not exactly the same. But the videos and actual photos looked OK to me in all other aspects, so we'll see.

Some sources said the watch was 42mm, others say 40mm... Their BB58 homage is 42 so I don't know what to think.

It's a long story. Here's the link to the full thing I posted on here earlier.

Those rubber straps look pretty good. I got some fluorine rubber myself a while back, that are pretty nice too.

I also have one of the Pagani Design BB58 homages on the way too.

I’ve got this dial and now just need to decide on a set of hands. Also, might wait to see if NH35s stop behaving like used car prices and return to reality at some point this year.

Curious to hear your impression of their similarities. I have a fluoro from that Ali seller and one from Mushi, and they do seem identical in person.

Looking for a great value titanium watch?

Heimdallr Sea Ghost NTTD homage is a lot of watch, for not a lot of money.

One of the best watches available on AliExpress. Although it does cost a bit more than most, I think it justifies that price though.
The build quality is fantastic.

These are some of the most comfortable straps I own.
I much prefer these to bulky NATO straps.
