Watch arrived today from JTimestore.com

[Mr V]

Hi everyone. I, like many others, made the mistake of ordering from Jtime store.com rather than the TD Jtime.cc. Having read the negative reviews I didn’t expect to receive a watch at all. Well my Rolex Yachtmaster arrived today and it seems ok. The strap is poor though and doesn’t have the Oyster flex sliding adjustment so I had to work around this and now it fits ok. The bezel has a lot of play but I expected that. Going to check timekeeping accuracy over the next few days as I wasn’t sent any QC pictures. Because I was convinced that I wasn’t going to receive anything, I ordered a similar watch from Jtime.cc so the comparison will be interesting. I will keep you posted. The guys communication was poor so I wouldn’t use them again. Like the moderators say, stick to TD.

Who are you referring to here? Jtime store.com or jtime.cc? I'm assuming the former. But because of the way you've structured the post, it could also be that you mean the latter. So it would be worth you clarifying, for the avoidance of doubt.

If it was the former, then surely there are more important reasons than poor communication that would persuade you not to use the scam website again.

But if you did mean the latter, then you may be in for a hard time finding a TD who communicates better than Li.

Also...

:ttiwwop:

Apologies, yes, you are correct in assuming that it was the Jtime store.com seller that had poor communication. As you say Li is brilliant. Photos attached. Notice clasp doesn’t have the sliding adjustment. I had to pop out the pin and cut the strap and refit. My post only shows the click pix url,s. How do I get my phone photos in my post. I used the icon top right and browsed to my photos and uploaded but why only getting url? Sorry newbie here.

 

[Mr V]

Forget the bit about url,s. I see now that the photos are showing as soon as I post. Sorry. Anyway the watch has already gained 7 seconds in just 4 hours which looks like around 30 seconds per day. This is the same as I get from my cheap £80 omega seamaster rep so it looks like he has sent me a cheap inferior rep. Oh well we live and learn.

 

[Mr V]

Make that 42 seconds a day!

How did you end up ordering on the imposters' website? Did you google 'jtime' or something?

 

[Mr V]

Yes. I googled Jtime and it comes up as the first result. The guy claims to be “the store for the European customers” which is BS as Jtime.cc don’t have a European store. He avoids answering specific questions especially about his identity and his comments earlier on this forum. He is not a TD for a good reason..... he is not transparent. Yes I’ve got a watch but without taking the back off and inspecting the movement, I can’t be sure what I’ve got.

sorry but you got trash. how much was it?

 

[Mr V]

It was $400 or there abouts. Learned my lesson. Taken my medicine. Seriously though, as they are all replicas, without removing the case back, how can you tell the quality because from outside they all look good unless you’ve got a magnifying glass and a gen next to it? This watch is now spot on time accuracy wise (which it wasn’t earlier) and I know the strap is crap but the winder is smooth, so HOW do I know if this is a £120 replica or a $400 replica? Serious question my friend. This surely comes down to the fact that we assume a TD will provide what they are describing. But how do we actually know?

It's very obvious when you get used to watches. You'll soon be able to spot the differences, as you will when the decent Rep turns up. You'll look back on this post in a year thinking, 'How the hell could I not tell this was a shitter!!?!'

Literally everything on this watch is horrible. The bezel insert font, the date font, the cyclops, the dial markers, the dial print, the wokky rehaut, the rehaut engraving, the hands, the crystal with day-glow LEC..... everything is wrong. That's probably a $40 rep.

 

[Mr V]

Thanks so much for the insight mate. As I said I am new to this game and have a lot to learn but your post is respectful. I will take it all on board and thank you for your help.

This is a very respectful and genuine response. It's quite hard to pick out flaws when this is all new, but as you learn and grow in your power, so does your disdain for shitters.

 

[Mr V]

Guys. Thanks very much for your insight. I just want to contribute and honestly try to make a difference on this forum. I’ll be the first to admit that I f**ked up with my first purchase but it is a minefield in this game of replicas, because basically at this point I really can’t tell the difference between a crappy replica and a good one. Us newbies really do need you more experienced guys to avoid making loads of mistakes. Thanks to you guys I’m doing a lot more research before I buy my second watch. Thanks so much. Hopefully I’ll not waste too much money from now on.

Just think of it this way: if you buy ten good reps, you've only added $40 to each price tag, lol
