One-stop shop for watch parts on AliExpress that you should avoid! Dials, handsets, bezel inserts

[@imaginekarma8582]

I recently used a Tandorio handset from their eBay site in my first watch build. The orange and green lume on the hands glows quite well, especially when I paid less than $10 CAD for the hands.

I think I know that handset, looks more like an sbdx001 handset, and is painted black? If that's the handset you are referring too I believe the orange lume is too weak. I like the lume to last me through the night, and to my surprise, it does. Would love to see your build. Thanks for watching and sharing

I uploaded a short on my channel showing the watch.

I've done a lot of Seiko style watch builds over the past few years, and never found a single store that had everything, and just bought from a wide variety of sellers. When the occasional quality or bad description issue occurs I've always had good results with the Aliexpress refund system. Latest was a dial described as white, that looked white in the photo but was silver when it turned up. Full refund, no problem.

Wouldn't you love to have a one stop shop for a wide variety of Seiko builds! I am a long-time buyer on AliExpress and have had hits and misses. I strongly hoped for this to be a hit, even despite qc issues, as long as they backed their products, but I was let down by the shady communication and request for return shipping to China at my expense. The seller did everything to avoid a refund. I value trust and reliability most of all when doing business, so I can not recommend this store (for now, hope they improve). I continue my search for reliable sources and will keep sharing my experiences, so please stay tuned. I appreciate your time!

hi can you please share their name again or maybe the link, i cant seem to find them

[@wismods]

Whose name, where I purchased the handsets with weaker lume? That is ds watchmod club store, but they are a shady bunch. Within the few months Ibhave bought from them, they changed name and store on aliexpress 3 times. I was also looking and could not find them. What could be the reason for such frequent name change? Maybe too many claims from unhappy customers? I don't recommend d buying from them. If you want quality and good service, contact Proxima. They have quality and are responsive

@@wismods no bro its not the claims from customers, alix sweeps these sellers and ban them for selling name brand items, its copy right infring. which is why they keep getting banned, any store that sells items that has logos on them will likely get banned sonner or later, they just simply create new stores with different names and start their business again,. i did some digging and found out that ds watchmod club is building their own website so this doesnt happen, will launch soon.
