File a helpdesk ticket for resolution. You will have to send it back at your cost. Whether you will have to wait for replacement or you get a refund, I cant say.
The fact is, due to this positive feedback loop, where PT is perhaps the highest volume TD, noobs find that about PT, order from PT, volume grows bigger and bigger. At this point they do not seem to be able to handle their volume. As a result, their QC generally sucks, their resolution sucks more. It seems that they just ship out any and every watch they receive from factory, eyes closed. And there seems to be just 1 fella who has the authority to resolve.
This pattern is not new, or unique to PT. I have seen this before with other TDs, notably perfect clones. Note this - any and every good TD will go through this same process. You as customer will have to move on to that TD in their "prime"
This is not true my friend, we have way more happy customers than the unhappy ones appears here, 99% of the happy customers just dont share, checkout the Apple community forum, there are also many unhappy customers there, does it mean they are not a good company? When the volume are high, the number of unhappy customers appears to be more than others but actually we are at a lower % when compare to our total volume.
For example TD1 has 10 orders a day and he has 1 negative review in 5 days.
TD2 has 100 orders a day and he has 1 negative review in 1 day.
After 5 days and TD 2 has 5 negative reviews and TD1 has only 1, TD1 seem to be a better TD because he has significant less negative reviews but the negative review rate of TD1 is 2% and TD2 is only 1%.
Please do not judge a TD just based on the number of negative reviews he gets.
People are also more intended to post their bad experiences of PureTime on the forum also because we are one of the very few TDs who actively respond to the reviews. Check the review sections of other TDs if you dont believe me, some reviews here in my section had gone to 10+ pages because we are continuously responding to every comment the customer made. Most reviews in other TD review forum are not even responded.
Even we have many orders every day but customer service is my highest priority, we read and respond to every thread and every PM no matter it is a praise or blame.
We are trying to make every one happy but we all know it is not possible, even the biggest companies in the world.
I again express my sincere apology to all customers who had unsatisfying experience with PureTime and we assure you we will try our best to make things right, just give us a little bit time and patience, thank you.
