Since every model is different and require different components, there is nothing like first come first serve...
the factories relies on many other factories to source the part they need, so it's not because the assembling factory is open that all pieces required for your watch are available and that your watch will ship straight away.
Hi bros, don't worry, I am a very reasonable and nice person. It is rare of me to complain.
I bought quite a number of watches from other dealers here too. I know that different watches have different time to prepare, due to parts etc, but this has really crossed the line.
I want to be very fair and very transparent. Therefore I indicated what did I order and the date of my order and payment:
Date: 16th Jan 2020 paid and ordered:
1 x AP BLUE RUBBER STRAP FOR ROO JF
1 x 2018 SEAMASTER DIVER 300M SS/RG VSF 1:1 BEZEL BLUE DIAL ON SS/RG BRACELET A8800
I do not want to side any other dealers, but please feel free to check right now the above 2 items with any dealers you have worked with or bought with.
These 2 items are available. This is the main reason why I am angry. If I were to order with other dealers today, I would have receive the QC photos in a few days' time.
In fact, you can even try to order the same items today in Puretime website, you may even get the items faster than me, even though I ordered so early on 16 Jan 2020.
I believe puretime has screwed up my order. And seriously you don't need few months to manufacture a blue rubber strap. Minimally, they should at least send me a photo of the strap.
Now, I am coming from a very fair and transparent perspective, and I will document this buying experience/review here.
16th Jan 2020 - Ordered, paid and confirmed
dd/mm/yyyy ???? - Let's see how long puretime handle this issue and when are they going to send me QC photo of a watch and a strap from 2 different factories. Today is 23 Feb.
dd/mm/yyyy - Let's see how long I receive both items in the end. Maybe April 2020?
puretime To be very transparent, I am keeping puretime in the loop of this forum article.
I believe puretime might have a team handling everyone's orders and depend on who is the person handling the order, some may be more driven and competent, just like any other employees.
Therefore I see inconsistencies in the feedback too, some claim they are good, at the same time some complain about them in this this forum too.
This is my first time buying from Puretime.
So if you know someone good or someone of higher authority from puretime who can help me push through the order, please let me know/pm me the contacts and I will be very appreciative.
I want to close this issue and move on.
Thanks,
