[csthe]

1st purchase Ryan (updated....)

Hi all,

The goal of this post is to describe the purchase process from Ryan.

This is my first rep purchase and i choose Ryan based on cwazy1 recommendation (that you can see here).

29.3
First email to Ryan about the watch - "Jules Audemars Skeleton Tourbillon RG".

29.3 - 31.3
No less than 28 emails in 2 days we have sent each other. Ryan response is fast and good.
As a first time buyer i had questions, misunderstandings and demands; Ryan answer all of them and made me feel conferrable.

31.3
Payment sent. Ryan response with confirmation. Waiting for QC pics...

2.4
Bad news... although Ryan told me that the watch is in stock he found out that the factory is updating this watch and its no longer available (for now).
On the plus side Ryan offer refund right away.
Since i already planned my next purchase I've asked Ryan to get me my second watch in the list: the "Breguet Grand Complication Tourbillon RG"
(was recommended by smokiedabong here).

5.4
Ryan confirmed that the watch is in stock and will order it tomorrow. Waiting for QC pics... (again )

8.4
QC pics arrived!
Since this is my first purchase I've opened a thread and ask some questions about the QC pics. you can see there my questions and the community answers...

I've asked Jordan few questions and he reply very fast about the QC pics and the watch.
I've approved the QC pics and now i'm waiting for the watch...

2.5
Finely the watch has arrived! (EMS sucks)
The watch looks great and seems to work very good.

Just a quick photo from my iphone:

In conclusion:
Confidence in the seller: 10/10
Response time: 10/10
Response info & QC pics: 10/10
Product: 10/10
Price: 8/10 (could get the watch from another TD for a lower price)

28 Questions? Are you serious?

Damn....no wonder he is so busy. What could you have possibly asked? I just recently bought off him.

2 emails. 1 asking if he had the watch. 2 asking any questions I had.

Sent payment straight after.

Yes, I've mentioned this to emphasis the great level of service that I've got.

28 emails does seem a little excessive mate.

Few days to check what? Qc pics should only be posted if there is a glaring flaw that YOU have noticed and are unsure about, not let's post Qc pics and get everyone's opinion.
It's a beautiful watch, I can't see anything wrong with it but heh what do I know, sorry for sounding soo of but I'm getting so sick of Qc pics.

Hi sharrkey,
i completely understand your point. I've asked questions about them in a separate thread but i posted them also here, not to get an opinion, but only to "document" the process for others.

Thanks

Are you insane ? 28 questions ? I haven't asked 28 questions of any TD in the entire time I've been here. What's wrong with you ?
