pretty much all shades on ali are okay

2016-07-16 15:04:36 UTC  

have you guys had any experience with them?

2016-07-16 15:04:47 UTC  

they're one of the top memes in the thread

2016-07-16 15:04:54 UTC  

ask in there and you'll get suggestions

2016-07-16 15:05:10 UTC  

fake raybans are a big one

2016-07-16 15:05:27 UTC  

ok, thanks

2016-07-16 15:06:44 UTC  

@Deleted User the csg thread, right?

2016-07-16 15:07:01 UTC  

as a general rule things with a high markup are best bought on ali and gear

2016-07-16 15:07:05 UTC  

like sunglasses

2016-07-16 15:07:07 UTC  

are a good choice

2016-07-16 15:07:20 UTC  

ok

2016-07-16 15:08:02 UTC  

Yeah anons test them and there's no difference

2016-07-16 15:08:29 UTC  

Same with watches

2016-07-16 15:09:09 UTC  

are there any automatic/kinetic watches being sold for cheap?

2016-07-16 15:09:44 UTC  

Go to aliexpress/Gearbest and search your brand of choice

2016-07-16 15:09:53 UTC  

Always shows up with knock offs

2016-07-16 15:09:59 UTC  

kk

2016-07-16 15:10:01 UTC  

Daniel Wellingtons are big right now

2016-07-16 15:11:31 UTC  

@godzirra name your price segment, chinks make the cheapest automatic (mechanical) watches available
No kinetic quartz though, that's proprietary to the japs

2016-07-16 15:12:05 UTC  

Chink clones of miyota 8200 movement powered watches start around $14

2016-07-16 15:12:32 UTC  

thanks

2016-07-16 15:13:53 UTC  

Best chink watches are priced $40-350 though

2016-07-16 15:14:10 UTC  

Comfy knows and made a review of the arguably best buy

2016-07-16 15:14:27 UTC  

Yeah that's a good watch

2016-07-16 15:15:58 UTC  

You can get differently branded ones off Ali, or if you're frugal, watchrecon

2016-07-16 15:18:07 UTC  

Most style per buck is $8 quartz nomos knockoff
Possibly best bang per buck is any Parnis OS-20 based quartz chronograph or their sapphire crystal solid stainless rollie GMT homage

2016-07-16 15:19:10 UTC  

/wt/ rules apply tho, don't buy oversized dogshit

2016-07-16 15:20:07 UTC  

Did you see that anon who got a "tactical" watch covered in shit that didn't work?

2016-07-16 15:20:12 UTC  

Non functional compass

2016-07-16 15:20:22 UTC  

It was huge

2016-07-16 15:20:32 UTC  

And only the watch part worked

2016-07-16 15:20:51 UTC  

Rest was just to look tacticool

2016-07-16 15:24:23 UTC  

If you want tacticool just get a faux suunto and put it on a OD zulu

2016-07-16 15:26:17 UTC  

i'm considering doing that for my summer program

2016-07-16 15:26:41 UTC  

What's your summer program?

2016-07-16 15:26:47 UTC  

NCS

2016-07-16 15:27:03 UTC  

some thing made by the government

2016-07-16 15:27:06 UTC  

If it's actually physical intense you might want to consider something more reliable - that's something chink watches aren't

2016-07-16 15:27:21 UTC  

we'll be at like this activity center for 3 days and then camping for the 4th

2016-07-16 15:27:22 UTC  

oh
