Watch Scam?

Cornucopia

Plenty of cheap watches on Aliexpress, usually with free shipping.

Looking at the flagship on that site ($220 watch) it's a Vietnamese manufacturer charging about £9 so for $20 you'll probably get your watch in a month or more and it'll be worth $20-odd and be good enough value for it, especially of you don't get hit for import duty

my guess is it will never arrive

When I worked in KSA, the 200 Regal Cigerettes came with a free watch.

The cigerettes lasted longer than the watch!

It's $9.95 postage and packing. Thanks for the feedback.
I'll know the next time!

It will almost certainly be a Chinese fake of that watch.

Yep, well that was a £9 retail watch, so rather than a Chinese fake, it'll just be from the same factory/line I expect.

I know we are all looking for good deals on MSE but well, there is the 'if it sounds too good to be true it probably is' line words of caution as well.

You were very unlikely to be getting a watch that was worth having with £9.95 postage (i.e. high postage to cover cost of watch, kindof lets you know its going to be a bad deal).

Hi
Just wondering if your watch ever arrived. I ordered one a month ago and still waiting. Have we been had? :huh:
