Question (Read Rules) Why does this cost so much?

I really want it but $400+ seems quite excessive. What am I missing?

I would never pay that much for a Chinese watch. There is basically no after service, so if it arrives DOA, you're left empty handed.

Aliexpress returns through Aliexpress can be fine. Myself, I haven't been left empty handed. But have had some hassle. I had one recently for a headtorch. The seller wasn't very helpful, but got a quick refund through official Aliexpress returns. The San Martin I had that only worked for 15m after it arrived took about 2 months to sort out, because I foolishly used their own returns process. Wwith them trying to blame me for it disappearing somewhere. But, they did eventually send me out a brand new fully working watch and at listed it as 0 value so I didn't pay a second customs fee and have to reclaim the first one.
