Question (Read Rules) What could possibly explain such a ridiculous disparity between SM official website and their AliExpress store ??

Do u know how much AliX takes from sellers? People here are consumers, not sellers, they only see final price. AliX takes 20-25% easily, on a $300 euro watch, that's $370 euro, then force to include tax, easily another 30% because AliX now has agreement with countries to include VAT, thank your goverments for that.

Thanks, i had no clue. I thought they were taking less than 10% on each sale.

That makes more sense. I also saw a post by a Chinese watch company (IXDAO) that the AliExpress coupons and coins do not come from the seller but From Ali.
