Reached out via WhatsApp on 10/11/23 and got a response within an hour.

We sorted the deal very quickly and payments were made.

To my disappointment I was told QC will take 2-3 weeks. I've bought plenty of reps before from 2 of the most well-known dealers and got the QC within hours or a few days at most, so I'm not really accustomed to longer QC times - however, Steve was very friendly and polite with prompt replies... I've dealt with plenty dealers that come across as abrupt/rude so it was refreshing.

I will update the thread when the QC comes in.

I would bet 20bucks (hypotheticly) that you get your QC before. Its just standarts they tell about waiting time. Usually steves stockwatches QC under 24h and watches he orders and that are on the market 48h. He has a good network. And if its not peoduced at the moment, anyway no dealer is faster😂

Fingers crossed - I'm an impatient guy!

But as far as the initial intervention, Steve is arguably the best I've dealt with thus far.

I sent a message via WhatsApp to a popular dealer on this forum regarding the same watch and the response was the complete opposite, downright rude! maybe its the language barrier and I'm being a little harsh?

No problem! Your service is already fantastic!
Steve is on point with his service. My first order with them and he emailed me right away. My order was exactly as it was advertised to be i.e. factory, movement, quality etc. That has always been an issue for me, I would be told one thing and receive something different.

Speaking of which, my last order before Theonewatches order, I got a GMT Master II Rose Gold and Silver "rootbeer" from Clean Factory. The movement I am unfamiliar with 3285. Here is a picture of the movement I received in my CF GMT. Does anyone know if this is an actual clone of the 3285 or just another plated movement? Any help is appreciated. I hate not knowing for sure what I'm getting.

Hello,my friend, your model is the movement A3285, not the Super Clone 3285, Clean had the VR3186 before the Super Clone 3285. So this GMT is not from the Clean factory.

Hello, I did find out that this is a 3186 engraved to say 3285. Apparently I'm not the only one. I found on another forum this exact same thing. I will find and post. The difference in the A3285 and the vr3186 is where the screw adjuster is located on the arm of the beat adjuster. The A3285 is located on the side of the arm while the 3186 is on the end.
