Not a scam at all; just a very cheap selection of watches where postage will exceed the value of the watch.

Search aliexpress.com for migeer and see the same watches for ~ £2.50

FREE + Shipping is a very tried and tested method of drop shipping, albeit old hat now but can be profitable with the right item.

So no, perfectly legit. Just a st watch.


Edit: £2.24 for the brown strap one. :-)

Damn! Does that mean my 11Euro (down from 12) watch is so obvious?

Not a scam just evidence of how cheaply Chinese factories can churn out stuff these days.


Please don't turn this into a watch thread, there's a whole forum dedicated to "wrist time" and "daily drivers"

To those who know nothing about watches etc it's a nice looking watch. I don't try and pretend it's real laugh

I'm more impressed that you could get the monkey to stay still whilst the photo was taken.

Is it an ankle bracelet? smile

I don’t judge people on whether their watch is fake or not.

A friend of mine worked in Thailand for a while and made his living selling trainers. He told me that they are made on the same production line using the same materials as the originals but, as they were coming out the back door rather than being sold through official vendors, he sold them as copies/fakes/knockoffs.
As for my watch, I was looking for the most horrible, gaudy, trashy thing I could find.
