After buying a previous Rolex model from GMF factory, and one from AR+F factory , now I wanted to "enjoy" the "luxury" of owning a Clean factory Rolex GMT 2 watch which turned out to be a flop from my side in the way that the watch was not working when I opened the box.... If you wish to send the watch back to China from an European country you have to take into account several key aspects:
-if the Chinese TD's partners are not informed of the watch and they do not pick it up from their customs then the watch will then return back to your country in a couple of months...which will undergo customs declarations evaluations upon arrival. If you are lucky the fake watch repair invoice will hold on if not, like it previously happened and shared on WRI the watch will be confiscated (at least of worries....you will receive a 50%discount on your next order)
-if they repair the watch in China and then ship it back to you, when the package arrives back to Europe from China, the European Customs will want to know what it is inside the package. They will either believe that inside it is a "10$ toy watch" or seize it if they will open it, but that after showing the customs agency a fake 10$ repair bill for the "10$ toy watch"....
Later edit :
After sending the watch to be repaired in China on the 17th of October 2024 with the purpose of having it repaired on the warranty guarantee (because the watch didn't wanted to start; neither mechanically -by turning the crown, neither automatically -by shacking the watch) and nobody touched it in China, the watched returned back to me, today on the 15th of May 2025, and after opening the box with the video camera turned on to check if the watch was still inside the box, to my greater surprise - not only the watch was still there but it was also working!!! Truly fucking amazing!
Later edit (part II) Actually, the problem with the watch was a loose screw that flipped inside the watch...(somehow the chinese watchsmith forgot to screw that screw).... So, in order to make the watch work properly, this time I had to take it to a local watchsmith and after taking out all the watch components, the watchsmith found the missing screw and put all the pieces back together. This ordeal costed me an extra 108$:
41$ to have it shipped to China,
67$ to have it repaired back home at a cheap local watchsmith
InTime06 told me last year, in 2024, that they evaluate this situation-problem as an easy 25$ problem fix... So, besides the price of the watch (678$ and 50$ shipment costs=728$) I had to pay until now an extra 108$, from which I only got back only 25$ from InTime06.... that's the price of the game... sometimes you win- sometimes you loose...depends on the luck! But generally speaking I'm happy with InTime06...they try to do their best! The watch is really beautiful...... inside and outside!
