Hi [mention]Mellons[/mention] and [mention]Emilio[/mention].
I warn you guys about TAIMIN.

This store has recently been posting pictures of genuine PAM1334 and PAM448 products and selling another inferior products.
(That page has already been erased after the trouble was reported.)
I would advise you that their store rating is quite low at 92.6%.

To keep my HF brothers out of trouble, I must point out that their MM Bronze product photos are very similar to those used in the scam on TAOBAO for several years now.
Perhaps my concern is unfounded, but at least I have inquired about this product in Chinese and English and have received no response.

Of course, it may be a product worth risking, but one should be cautious in his dealings.
I have not tried to buy from TAIMIN because I do not trust them.
Is this review by any of you here on HF? I was quick to assume it was Emilio from the E***S name from Spain!

Anyway, I seem to be getting communication from somebody at Taimin. I asked if they offer the alternative bezel with submersible style numbers and triangle and they mentioned that they could offer it. Now I must consider if I should take a $400 risk and see what I get…

thanks share it @Hidden Impact

It seems that at least one like-minded person in Spain got it.

I also asked TAIMIN in chat after my last post if I could choose the bezel, but I never got an answer. So I haven't bought it yet.

I placed a cheap order of 100USD to test his store and got it about 10 days after it was shipped, although I had to wait 2 weeks for the shipping.
At least his store seems open for business.

As I'm sure you know, you can combine AliExpress and Paypal payments to get a pretty good range of money back guarantees, so I think we can avoid the result of losing all 400USD.

Same company (Taimin) selling the MM hinged lug, but that is suddenly out of stock.

Interesting option and closer to the Ennebi then Bangala…but is it worth almost $1k?Image
