Mar 6 - order placed in chazingtime website, very easy to use and place. Within a few hours I was emailed instructions to pay via bank transfer.
Mar 9 - payment sent via bank transfer at my local bank branch.
Mar 12 - emailed me back saying I needed to send them 20 USD more as there was probably a fee on the bank transfer along the way, I promptly PayPal'd them the 20 USD.
Mar 15 - QC photos were sent to me, looked very good however there was no time grapher or lume shot, so I requested these in the next email.
Mar 16 - new QC with the lume and time grapher shot, I liked what I saw and approved.
Mar 19 - mailed.
Mar 25 - an issue arised and my package never left China, and was returned to sender. I emailed chazingtime and they said it might have been intercepted by Chinese customs, so when they recieve the watch they will resend at no cost to me.
Mar 27 - resent.
April 3 - cleared Canadian customs, en route to me.
April 4 - recieved watch.
Overall, the process was very easy, chazingtime was very quick with emails, and seemingly answered my emails at 3am Guangzhou time. I'm not sure if Ken sleeps, lmao. I will definitely order another watch from them again.
The watch is a Rolex Explorer I JF V2, and having held and worn a gen one, this one is very very close to the real thing. Little things I notice is when I pull the crown out to 2nd position and change the time it feels different compared to gen, the winding feels a bit different. The movement feel is very different. The dial is very close and the explorer text still reads "E X PLORER" but the spacing between the E and X is maybe a millimeter difference compared to gen, so I'm willing to look past that. The lume is very bright and lasts a decent amount of time. The bracelet feels very comfortable, is very shiny, and overall very good. It even has the half link extension that gen has. The clasp is a little sharp though, and the Rolex logo is a dead giveaway that its fake. Overall though, for a replica, I would definitely say it's almost super rep territory.
Moving forward I plan to time the second gain/loss per day, get it serviced soon by a local watch repair shop that has no problem with replicas, and maybe in a few years look at frakenwatch-ing with a Swiss movement and maybe a gen dial.
