. I’m going to order the “vintage bracelet” option. ..
What's the vintage bracelet option?
It’s this one: https://www.ts-station.cn/mobile/goods.php?ProId=25467
I’ve made the order, but so far TSwatch seem pretty disinterested. I got an automated reply email that I’m not supposed to reply to, listing payment methods but with no details of how and a couple of broken links back to their site. I’m going to scan back through this thread to see if anyone else had problems getting TS to take their money!
Omg
Wr rep
Big no no

They take only Mastercard or Bitcoin. I always get overseas CC payments pre-approved by my bank. They usually go through in about 15 minutes. There are links to click on their site to make a payment type.
Nooo!
The tube is not WR at all and I suspect the crystal isn't either. Mine had a really dry rubber gasket on the back case that I had to replace too. Maybe (and that's a big maybe) WR can be improved with a new crystal and a better tube (I'm yet to find a good tube, the one I ordered from Raffles is too thin and doesn't fit the case). Seems like Hor-Fan managed to get a new crystal (from Clarks, I believe) so maybe he's got comments about the quality of the new crystal.
Regarding yours specifically, get the crown unscrewed and in the time setting position. Put the watch somewhere where its a bit hot (perhaps under a lamp or in your garden if it's sunny). Leave it there for a couple of hours and hope the steam is gone. Don't panic and good luck!
how difficult it it for you guys to set your time? turning the crown with my watch feels a bit tough/hard to do.
Finally recieved mine
Nice packaging
Watch looks superb
Vintage bracelet is rattling and feels cheap
Might swap it with a spare oyster I have

Much better with oyster bracelet
Vintage one makes the watch feel cheap and rattly

Might be a really bad bracelet but truth is those old bracelet in the gen felt tinny and rattly too..
