5th Order from Puretime - QC Delay

[johnchpark]

Ordered ZF IWC Mark XX (Blue) on Sept 5, 2023. (Order # 100274961 )
However QC from ZF seems very slow these days.
Continuing to wait but there does not seem to be any update on the process.

There is a rumor about factories working very slow or even stopping for a certain time. Maybe its this.

Yes, that's right. Waiting for months might be commen in recent days.

What I find a little weird is I ordered: BLACK BAY FIFTY EIGHT 39MM SS ZF 1:1 BEST EDITION BLACK DIAL ON SS BRACELET A2824
and: SPEEDMASTER MOONWATCH OMF SS SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL BLACK DIAL ON SS BRACELET MANUAL WINDING CHRONO MOVEMENT
on October 19th and received my QC pics for the ZF Tudor on the 21st! 2 days later which is insanely fast! I was expecting at least 2-3 weeks!
I would have gotten the QC pics for the speedmaster yesterday but the QC department found a problem with the movement, so still waiting on those, no complaints at all!

While stocks last.

This is because luckily we got a few stocks with us so can arrange to you immediately.

It becomes very normal to wait this long for the ZF delivery. We push for every order. Please stay with us and be patient

My previous ZF Omega SMP 300 also waited more than 2 months. I ended up just canceling that order.

I don't want to cancel this order, so still waiting on

 

[johnchpark]

It's been now close to 10 weeks of waiting for QC.
And Puretime now has a 10% discount for black friday.
Might as well just cancel my order and reorder again using the discount

What Puretime has to say about it, if it's not a secret?

What about privacy? TDs are not required to do all the communications open to the public.

 

[TESLA760]

Why do so many people keep crying about QC delays when every TD has made it clear in multiple posts that this is to be expected ?

What about common sense? So that other people would know the new estimations, since before waiting time was up to 3-4 weeks.

Op's estimation is none of your business, if you want to know yours, ask the TD. And FYI, every rep got different estimations, even within the same factory.

Plus, common sense doesn't go beyond privacy, you really should use some common sense here.

 

[johnchpark]

I haven't gotten any estimate on the QC from ZF.
Just "please keep waiting more". And it's a watch I want, so I will continue waiting.

It's just weird that ZF keeps releasing new models while they have a backlog of orders (I've checked orders from other TD's too, and many ppl with ZF orders having long wait times).

You are not a businessman, are you? Releasing new models is business development, generating new income. Bottleneck on orders is a production problem, money is already on the book. Nothing related between these two. They can stall your order while welcoming new orders. And TBH they must do so to keep themselves alive. As long as they are delivering, it is not optimal but not unacceptable.

Same with me, no estimations are given, just evasive "wait till the next batch", and no hint whatsoever when this batch might be.

The concentration of snobs is heartwarming.

They have a tendency to assert that you're wrong, unsolicitedly offering their opinions. Following that, they will share anecdotes about how businesses should be run, subtly implying that you're merely a plebeian in their eyes
