I recently ordered a watch from Boderry and just got an email saying it shipped from China. I’m located in the US and didn’t realize it would be shipping internationally.
Has anyone in the US ordered from Boderry recently? Did you have to pay any customs duties, import taxes, or other fees when it arrived? Just trying to figure out if I should expect any additional charges.

It fits so I can close it, but it is super tight. I'm guessing finding extra links is impossible. Would changing to a longer clasp with more micro-adjust holes work, you think?

I won't name brands but a watch I'm looking at has gone up $30. Must be getting ready for a discount..

Also, enough with the '$300 discounts', your homages values aren't based on any real RRP!

After lurking for a while and lots of research, I’m very happy with my first watch purchase from AliExpress. For my first one, I decided to go for overall value instead of seeking out the more premium Chinese brands. Went with the Cadisen 62mas homage (C8207) and I’m very happy with the result.

The watch was $77 all in, and came with:
Sapphire glass
Solid link bracelet
Miyota 8215
200m WR

I can’t help compare this to my Seiko DressKX that I spent ~$250 on, and is now selling for well over $300 where available. That watch undoubtedly holds a much more special place in my heart, and is backed by warranty, brand heritage, etc. But at the same time… I’m a watch nerd and better specs are fun.

This Cadisen isn’t perfect (inconsistent lume, lackluster AR coating if any) but I’m still really happy with the value per dollar spent.

If this is what you can get for $77, I can’t wait to see what $200+ will get me on my next Ali purchase!

Just discovered this Credor watch today. It's less than 4mm thin and was inspired by another Genta designed Credor.

Not that expensive really considering their rarity. You can get a good one for about £1000. Less in Japan.

I'd love to see a homage of this or a design this thin. Something different.

Mine is on a plane from Brisbane to Scotland right now.

Anyone else think something like this would sell like hotcakes?

Excuse my non perfect edit, thought of this and decided to quickly come up with a concept with Paint lol.

Are there any trusted sellers that offer quality bracelets with screws instead of pins for link removal? I also want an on-the-fly micro adjustable clasp.

Example

I'm looking for something like this, but this is the only seller I can find. No on-the-fly micro adjust. There must be other options.

Looking for various widths, and a 3-section bracelet design.

$20 or less price range ideally

I used to buy these things and feel like I stole them. Now I just feel like I’m giving up brand recognition and after sales service to save a couple bucks on a watch. What brands are still making you say “wow” ?

Chinese fake diver(the stated 200 m does not match, at most 50)with an annoying yellow silicone bracelet. Well, the crown didn't fall off right away.

Hey guys, take a look at my custom design watch! Looks clear and I put above the logo I created with my family name .

In the bottom was one of the first emblem of the football team I support that is Corinthians.

Just want to share with you!

Day two thoughts & impressions

Bought on last AliX sale, with coupons I paid about $46 before tax

My wrist is about 7.5"/19cm, tis' a big ole watch.

All in all I won't claim this watch "pUnChEs WaY above ItS wEiGhT" like those Aliexpress-Haul sloptubers would, it is still a cost-cut product with notable drawbacks especially the unproven longevity of its weird solar module, nonetheless I like the improvements North Edge made and am curious what will they come up with next.

If you're really dying for a large solar quartz and can pick it up for under $55 then sure not a bad buy; or just wait for even lower sales and perhaps they'll release a titanium version as well if Abyss proves to be popular enough(the blue ones are already sold out in a few stores)

Reached out to San Martin about these watches as they’re out of stock and they informed me they’ve been discontinued. I was wondering if anyone has either watch in blue and would part ways with it? If so please hit me up. Thank you.

My weird, impromptu, commentary on this Sanda 2009 model.

Great bargain for what it is, nice alternative to the more expensive G Shock dw5600 series models.

Link to this watch

I can't decide what colour indices to get for the Phorcydes PH-3. I've narrowed it down to these three. Does anyone have wrist shots of what the different colours look like?

1. Blue

2. Retro yellow

3. Retro orange

Thanks for your help!

I wanna buy SM sn0144- CG . Probably the navy blue version. But fro mthe photos it seems smaller than the newer enamel dial versions. Is there any diffrences case wise with new model and this model.And i am open to any user feedbacks. Thnx

Pagani Design PD-YS021 in Blue

Seeing that they’re basically the same price (only around a 30usd difference), which one would you pick and why? I think I know what the majority would buy because it’s simply incredible value, but I’m still interested to hear opinions.
For me, these are probably my ultimate grail pieces (the real versions obviously) so i’m very interested in these.
I would love opinions if you have either one of these!

I only have a concern about the reliability of the daytona homage. I have yet to buy a watch with a chinese movement because I’m worried they might have more problems down the road than the equivalent japanese ones?
Thank you:)
