I have followed this thread for a long time, I though I would start posting.

* Topgun Jacket.

Just search "topgun patch" and buy from various vendors. I didn't bother to do a 1:1 copy since some of the patches are too big anyway. I literally had to remove the Disney and mickey mouse patches from the Nylon jacket and sew on the topgun patches myself. Didn't bother to ask my wife to do it cause it was my project.



* Donuts pillows. Just search "donuts pillow", I made the mistake of buying fro the slightly more expensive vendor and thought they would come with stuffing, but they were just cases, I misread the description. The bread pillows did come with stuffing. But they are too small to use for anything. I would have brought a pizza blanket if my wife didn't stop me.



* Neck band bluetooth speaker

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001253478197.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4d70LJOs

I paid 29 for it but its no longer on aliexpress. I searched and couldn't find it either. This one is the only one that has both speakers and pullout earbud. I also had one of those heavier bigger neck band speaker that cost under 20. I lost it that's why I brought this one. I prefer this one since its lighter. Maybe somebody else will make it again. The build quality is quite good.

I have order apparels on aliexpress, mainly because I can't find those weird poo poo anywhere else. For example I have ordered 2 vests which satisfy the follow check list: 1 down or synthetic down inner layer 2, outer layer made with reflective fabric 3, has a hoodie. As you can see these are some very niche stuff I set out to order.

However, even after following the size chart on the sales pages, the vests are still one size smaller. So my advise is to follow the size chart, but add 1 size up for clothing.

Anyone else buying nato watch straps on Ali? Wasn’t sure if there was a good seller or just whoever had the most sales.

I have like 30 NATO straps from ali, what do you want to know? Price+shipping should be pretty similar from different vendors. Don't use the sort by price button, use the sort by order button.

So I have a particular fetish for square shaped digital watch on NATO strap. I buy Casio watches and aftermarket parts all over ebay/ali and mix and match them for my own amusement.

Today I got my latest batch straps from ali in a single group shipping envelop. I thought I would make an effort post. I could post it on one of those watch subs but I couldn't be bothered.


Straps from left to right, I got most of them from ali, just search various combination of "camo NATO strap Nylon" words and you should find most of these
#1, it's about $10 shipped, I really like the feel of the nylon fabric, it has medium thickness and softness. It looks good on any of my dark colored watches.

#2 I like 1 so much I got a blue version. Still looking for a khaki version with black buckles.

#3, #4 are from the same vendor, cheap $5 strap. It looks good but feels way too plasticy. Also too thick to fold the long strap. Not recommended. Identify these cheap stuff by the square shape buckles.


#5 I got this $2.87 strap just to give it a shot. But the nylon is surprisingly comfortable to the skin, and the buckle is solid. However the 20mm width is really 19mm. I probably will get another in 22mm.

#6 My only 22mm wide strap. It's too wide for my taste. It's good for heavy watches

#7 You can find this cheap, probably under $3, recommended.

#8 got this stretchy design just to see what it's like. It's completely useless to me. Because the springbar end pieces are metal not plastic, I can not use a knife to manipulate them and fit them on other watches. It's designed for one of those Samsung S watches.

#9 Sports velcro strap originally made for 20mm Samsung/Huawei sport watches. I modded it into regular NATO strap

More straps!

1,2,3 are not NATO straps, they are single pass "Zulu" strap. It's hard to use them, because if the fabric is too soft (#3), the watch move around the strap; if its too hard (#2), it moves around your wrist. Only the right amount of softness and thickness let you hug the watch tight to your wrist.

#3 is about $13-15? It's one of those premium strap they advertise for expensive analog watches. The fit and finish is very good for the money

#4,5,6 were from Fossil website. Fossil seldom carry NATO straps but all the ones I brought from them are good quality troopers. Recommended.

I have one of those emulation fake gameboy and IMO its much better than playing old games on your phone. I also have set up a Playstation controller and a phone holder on top, which I only played once and never went back. It's much easier to play old games with physical buttons. Tring to connect poo poo through bt is too much trouble. Also I don't like playing old games on a giant 7" screen.

Just make sure you buy the higher end ones they are great. I played tetrics non stop for my trans pacific flight.

I brought it 2 years ago I don't even remember what the name was. But I can grab it anytime I want and bang out the space shuttle in Tetric.

Does anyone have an explanation for Aliexpress sellers sending rechargable batteries in flashlights? I ordered this set of 4 USB rechargable batteries, and they came inside two flashlights. This is not the first time this has happened, so I'm wondering about the reason - is there some restriction on sending batteries that does not apply to "flashlight, batteries included"?

Why don't you use Eneloop or Ikea rechargeable AAA batteries? Just wondering?

I brought like a dozen rechargeable AAA batteries on eBay from China only because I want battery in different distinctive colors so I can recharge the same 2 battery at the same time.

I just double checked, eBay doesn't seem to sell them anymore but Ali still have white label rechargeables in different colors.

Saw this thread today and checked ali, ordered 3 lanyards from ali and cancelled the Amazon order, 3 lanyards are still cheaper than one on Amazon. Also ordered another knock off nylon wallet for 1.70 shipped.


also came across this customized license plate keychain completely by accident, ordered

What's the reason for wanting your license plate on your keychain? It just kinda seems like it's asking for someone to turn a lost set of keys into an opportunity.

I think most people would return keys, but why add temptation? The phone number I get.

I guess when you lend the car to your friend? Now that you mention it, I feel stupid and will put it on my spare key.

I brought a small 2x5 sized led scrolling panel from Ali and it also didn't work.

The hardware is there but I think it didn't have working software to let me program it. I even installed some software on win10 and still couldn't connect to the panel. Anyway it was only 5 bux so whatever.

Probably won't even put them on my keys, I just wanted to spend a couple bux and see how they look.
See the problem is Chinese phone number is one digit longer than US phone number, but there is no blank or dash key.
The "leather" ring is probably made with the cheapest leather.

Phone running pouch, I like it. But only for 6" and smaller phones. Also you can't really put the phone in it one handed, you have to take off the strap to stuff the phone in it.

There is a much smaller used good site in China, which let you sell your stuff in fixed price mostly. OTOH, there are other smaller used good sites in the US too, see Mercari for used watch and sneakers.
