07-Mar: QC pics received from Alice - looks great, just one minor question

08-Mar: question answered, QC approved - awaiting boxes!

10-Mar: watch shipment number received; happily it seems the box is coming separately. Could be I should have added triangular shipment for the watch…
13-Mar: watch at shipment depot in CN

17-Mar: My watch is being shipped by ‘Post NL’ despite the fact I thought I was paying for DHL Deutsch Post. Status has been “The Item is at the shippers warehouse” since 11-Mar. Contacted ChazingTime and was informed that this is normal until the watch lands in Europe. No word on the box yet.

22-Mar: The watch is at the PostNL sorting center (in the Netherlands)

(I realize that I shouldn’t really be posting updates like this but I) it’s useful for me to look back on, perhaps also for others and II) I just only got edit rights - next time I’ll write and update a single post )

Are the NTTD superclones also lightweight like the genuine ones or they are just the same colour. The watch and mesh both is titanium on the legit ones. Has any manufacturer tried to copy this also ?

 

[Mike202022]

Delighted to advise that the watch arrived today and looks great to me!

No issue whatsoever with getting through customs (non-EU Central Europe), which is a pleasant surprise.

I will be ordering from ChazingTime again - probably in the next few hours… decisions, decisions…

what made you choose VSF over VS+ ? thx

I liked the look of ChazingTime, feedback on them, their site and they have VSF and OSF.

I went for VSF over ORF, primarily because its more expensive than OSF and I believe you (more often than not) get what you pay for.

Note that this was my first ever rep purchase, I wasnt really researching - I would approach it differently now
