I can also confirm A FRIEND forgot about the key ones multiple times and traveled through airport security in maybe a dozen countries without it being noticed. I had one of the credit card sized metal multitools and the TSA trashed it. I don't think it even had a blade, and if it did, it was shorter and less pointy than any pair of scissors. I traveled with my embroidery kit once with needles and scissors and got through fine.

Today's most surprising news: my 'Rolex' arrived! ( I assumed nothing was going to be actually sent) Today's least surprising news: it lacks a certain authenticity: Listing:  Reality:  I think I have a good case for a refund.

You’re going to have to pay more than AliExpress prices to get something that passes but you’ll have much better luck. For a while I had a good time lurking those forums, those guys actually know their poo poo really well, they obsess over tiny details to an incredible degree.

For a while I had a good time lurking those forums, those guys actually know their poo poo really well, they obsess over tiny details to an incredible degree. $32.52 Let's be honest: at that price I was expecting something made from old tin cans, but at least to the same general dimensions as the listing and looking vaguely like it from a distance. This does not. It does have the lightning bolt second hand and, surprisingly, a mechaquartz-style movement. Maybe if I remove the cyclops I can live with it? Still in two minds about the refund- I knew it was going to be crap, but it clearly does not match the photos in design.

I'm 85% sure it is glass, not acrylic, so I may perform surgery to remove the cyclops.

A rolex does the opposite of impressing most people I would imagine. Showing off a watch that costs more than people's cars is  worthy, quite franklyAnd if you are only around other rich assholes, why would they even care

If it was machine printed I'd expect it to be better aligned. Quite a few of them are significantly off-kilter now I see it on a big screen. I wonder if they were doing stencil work by hand.

I wonder if they were doing stencil work by hand. I think you are right: the alignment, plus the consistency is pretty poor: some of them aren't even square with rounded corners. It's definitely the worst part of the watch, the rest of it is suprisingly not as bad as I expected (the strap is folded links and garbage, as you would expect). I am impressed that they put a mecaquartz movement in there.

The good fakes are like 100 to 150 iirc, there used to be some talk in a watch thread here. It was fun to read about, things like secret shops with clothing listed but you chat with someone and buy a watch instead.

It’s once you get over $300 or so that you get really convincing fakes. And the replica dealers are pretty up front once you figure out who they are, their sites usually have good photos.

You know the term "pecking order"? It comes from chickens. If they don't get along or have dominance issues, they'll peck each other's feathers off and then they'll peck each other's brains out, literally. If that wasn't what you envisioned when you started a cute little backyard flock, that's why they sell chicken helmets. (The part where they're too small for chickens is aliexpress doing its thing, though.)

Most of the EU legislates tiny slow cars like that as mopeds so you can drive them from age 16 and only need whatever the local moped license situation is. 1hp is super weak though, even 25km/h scooters put out 3 and those weigh a lot less.

I keep hearing from the Netherlands about how these are a major issue since people drive them on the bike paths. Cyclists there are mostly going around 10-15km/h, so having boxy, 30km/h motor vehicles whizzing around is not good.
