- Saw newsletter from Trusty email-blast for Noob fire sale. Did quick research, even cheaper than previous fire sale during April 2017. My newbie FOMO sets in. I frantically reach out to my favorite TD. I see that Intime is also having the same sale, but very limited stock unlike Trusty's wide rotating stock.
- As I wait for my favorite TD's response, I see stock literally disappearing on Trusty in real time. Ok Trusty, you win.
- Purchased 3 watches via Mastercard through Website Payment Gateway
- Payment confirmation email from Andrew received
- See even more new stock being added to website after my purchase
- Email Andrew about order change. Andrew responds. Difference paid via Paypal invoice.
- Order change confirmed
- QC photos received.
- All three watches rejected.
- Trusty (Andrew?) responds that the watches look fine. Should I reject these watches, there would be no new stock, and these watches would just go to other customers.
- I respond and say fair enough. The entry price was too low to make a fuss, let's roll the dice then.
- I confirm and accept all three watches.
DHL tracking information is provided

Delivery
Notes
- The transaction was very efficient.
- I've had a few DHL shipments under my belt. This is the first time I've had automatic text notifications and enhanced delivery options (option to pre-sign for my package and have them deliver without signature).
- If you are picky, this is not the Dealer for you. TrustyTime is very blunt and even my feathers were ruffled a bit, even though I had my newbie "lets make peace" attitude in full force.
- Packaging is the best I've seen. Kudos, but that notwithstanding, I have not found the packaging from any of my other Dealers to be insufficient or unsatisfactory.
- The watches look much better in person, but would be unsatisfactory to me in a typical scenario. As a reference, I have only rejected one watch from any dealer so far, and I would have rejected all three of these.
- I would roll the dice with TrustyTime again if the value proposition were compelling enough.
