3rd Purchase from Puretime (3 watches)

[OneDay]

I had positive experiences with Puretime for my last two purchases so I'm purchasing 3 watches from them this time. I will record my experience below:

1) Watches in 2 separate orders:
Order #1: VSF Rolex Black (Paid 2/28/21 using Bitcoin)
Order #2: VSF Rolex Hulk and VSF Rolex Datejust (Blue)

Still waiting for confirmation of receiving my first payment since 2/28/21...

Thank you for your new order and support to PT. Usually we will confirm payment within 24 hours. If you don't recieve any confirmation from us by tomorrow, Please resend your email or PM me your order number. Thanks

I resent several emails about the payment. PM sent.

Puretime confirmed the first payment for the first watch.
Sent payment for the remaining two watches.
Awaiting payment confirmation.

Thank you. I've answered you through PM

Both payments have been confirmed. So far so good. Thank you

 

[puretime]

Great. Thank you for your cooperation. Will process your orders as soon as possible

I just ordered my third watch from puretime as well but this is spread a bit over a year. I hear there is a risk in ordering multiple watches at once. Update us if any of them get seized.

Thanks for your support and new order. Usually sending 1-3 (small size) items in one package should be fine.

Oof. I hope neither of them get seized but I separated them into two shipments because of this. Do shipments with 2 watches get seized often than 1 watch? If so, how frequently as if that's the case, I can potentially pay more to Puretime to have them shipped separately to avoid that.

Received QC (very quick) but they were sent to two different emails, 1 that is not associated with my Puretime account anymore. Declined all 3 due to reasons below but still very happy that Puretime is quick and responsive.

1. Datejust - Received black instead of correct color, blue.
2. VSF Black - Alignment is really off
3. VSF Hulk - Time s/d is -11 (not expecting perfection or like gen but I know this rep movement can do much better than -11 s/d)

1.) That's a shame
2.) Looks like it could be just the angle. Bezels are rarely misaligned.
3.) -11 is quite acceptable

1. Ya...
2. I don't think it's the angle since the 12 and 6 markers are aligned properly with the bezel.
3. -11 isn't acceptable. Someone else got +1 s/d although the amplitude range is high at 335 (pic 1). Also another senior member that's been a member since 2016 wrote that -12 would make him want to return the watch (pic 2)

I'm open to feedback but if you're going to provide it, can you at least do your research first?

1. Datejust - Received black instead of correct color, blue. Sorry for the mistake. We will order for you the correct one
2. VSF Black - Alignment is really off It actually looks acceptable to me
3. VSF Hulk - Time s/d is -11 (not expecting perfection or like gen but I know this rep movement can do much better than -11 s/d) We can help you to adjust it a bit but it's no alway can be adjusted nearly 0-1 sec/day

1. Thanks
2. You are correct as the other fellow was. I checked the other pictures and it was the angle of the picture. However, the amplitude range is really high at 330, can this be lowered to 315 or below? I will let your QC department know.
3. That's okay. The other QC I uploaded had a +1 sec/day but I don't expect that much but something closer to it.

Thanks for the prompt feedback as always.

Usually it's because it was over wound. We will double check for you

Yes, I have done research. Most personal would probably the same tolerance levels of gain and loses time /day /month /year.

Sorry, for being vague but I was trying to get to the point quickly.

https://ibb.co/XxV2yjb dude he's saying it's adjustable with a watch smith but he would prefer to decline it as the movement is more capable than that.

Your research is from 2012. The rep movement game has improved drastically since 2012 as some watches had +/- 30 s/d during that time. I'm not asking for +/-1 s/d, that's unrealistic but if I see other QCs with +1 s/d, I'm ok with even +9 s/d.

Okay. You go make your own conclusion.
