They can't give you details of the delays because they don't know how long they will be.

I've ordered mine a month ago and I'm still waiting for my QC, if that makes you feel better. Don't bother asking about status of not receiving QC cos you will not get a reply cos they also don't know when stocks are arriving as mentioned by Tripdog. Likewise if you go to a AD to buy, sports models no stock. Try asking them when will stocks arrive and see what their reply will be....

i am also having problems with them and qc pics, very very slow and pretty annoying

You may be happier buying a branded watch off Amazon or something - they aren't illegal to make or sell, and the factories and re-sellers don't get raided by the police.

Update:

Nov 24 2018: "The Jubilee bracelet QC department are waiting for stocks from the maker . now maker is lacking the jubilee bracelet .


Plus now police are checking and raiding so alot of makers dun work or issue stocks everyday


Once QC department has been issued the watch , they will send QC pics ."

Thats all I was looking for by way of response.
We're all aware of the nature of these transactions being illegal and forking out over $700 to a site that keeps getting taken down is a leap of faith so the least they can do is keep us informed about delays.

It's the holiday season and as I understand it raids are going on. You as the buyer should EXPECT delays in the rep. world especially around this time. They have hundreds if not thousands of customers a day and are TDs here for a reason. You'll get updates and you'll get your watch. Sit back, drink a beer, and be patient.

Hi. I am very new to reps etc but in last 2 months have made 2 purchases from chazingtime and all expected time frames were fully met. I wouldn't worry there will be some legitimate delay as the previous posts suggest. From what I've read and heard these guys are not out to scam you

-Final Update-

Dec 10 2018: Final QC pics for 2nd watch received / approved.
Dec 11 2018: DHL Tracking number provided.
Dec 17 2018: Received

Both watches look great. Only tell tale with the Hulk is the winding mechanism is not defined when going from 'wind' to 'date change' to 'time change'.
