Hi guys.
So after some browsing around and reading, I decided to buy myself a 116610LV from Ryan.
This is my experience so far:

- Jan 2nd: placed order
- Jan 3rd: paid money
- Jan 4th: Ryan confirmed he received money
- Jan 7th: received QC images
- Jan 8th: approved images and asked for the guys to ship it out
- Jan 10th: Ryan confirmed the watch is shipped
- Jan 11th: EMS called&emailed me for custom clearance, they require invoice. Asked Ryan how to deal with it
- Jan 15th: Ryan sent me invoice to show EMS, sent invoice to them
- Jan 16th: EMS asked for website link or payment proof, asked Ryan and waiting.


I'm updating if there are anything news

VietNam by the way
Update Jan 18th: custom opened and knew the model is Rolex 116610LV
Now we cannot send them the information of a rubbish fake Rolex watch (since importing fake watch is prohibited) nor send them a bloody cheap genuine Rolex (they know the watch value).
Seem only way is to return it and find another way.

Update Jan 23rd:
Requested EMS to return the package, they told me only the sender's post office can request to return the package
Told Ryan, he said only the receiver's post office can return the package
Still stuck between them -_-

Any heard of Wintopay service when paying through their website ? I tried to pay with credit card through their website and received the email from Wintopay looking for the front look of the card ? Does this seem right ?

Update Feb 28th
Nothing, Ryan told me the watch hasn't come back to him yet.
Positive side: For now I almost forgot I paid ~$350 for first rep 2 months ago...

update April 12: finally got the watch, beautiful

the screw-in pin is a bit too tight, tried to shorten the strap but got a scratched pin instead

Question - did they make you sign for your package? As I have to sign for mine and wanted to know if this is normal.

September 4th update
After getting out in a big storm, the bracelet seem to be rusted, this is from the rod between the links and not the link itself.
