Another Rep purchase (from Trusty this time)

[futuredoc]

While waiting for my watches from Puretime to arrive, went ahead and bought the Aquanaut 5167 from Trusty.

I "accidentally" purchased the 3KF version and asked Andrew if he could send the ZF version instead and get a partial refund for the difference. He agreed to do so. So far, communication has been lightning-fast and great!

I will periodically update my experience with Trusty [the refund process (CC backend, how long it takes) and the QC + receipt of watch with pictures] for any potential buyers interested in buying from Trusty. So don't think I'm crazy if I ramble on by myself

Hi futuredoc

Thank you for your order. I have noted on your change of order, and ordered the ZF one for you. Once QC pics are ready I will update you via email.

As the payment was made via the CC processing gateway, there is a limitation with refund system, which limits it to only once.

So as a safeguard, the partial refund will be arranged for you after QC pics have been confirmed and shipped out.

Do note that it will take around 14-21 days for the Card Processor Bank to process the refund back to your card issuing bank once we submit the refund request.

Thanks

Thank you Andrew, looking forward to the QC pictures.

Thank you Andrew, looking forward to the QC pictures.

All 15 of your posts are about the watches you are buying, the buying process, waiting for QC, blah, blah, blah and it's not terribly interesting. I realize you think you are putting a little extra pressure on the TD to get what you want, but why don't you mix it up a little bit? Do you have a dog? A hot wife?

Putting pressure on the TD to get what I want? lol if that's really all you see from my posts, I think that says more about you than anything. If you want something interesting like someone else's hot wife, I'm sure a quick google search can help you out

Ok. Bore us some more. What did you have for lunch today?

I'm having a hotdog. I bought a big 36 pack of hotdogs so I could "shelter in place" but only bought 12 buns. Now I'm out of buns so I'm forced to use regular bread which kind of stinks. To tell you the truth, I'm getting tired of hotdogs so I will cook a couple and mix them in with my dog's food. She doesn't get tired off hotdogs.

Seems like you're having fun coming back to reply on this thread You seem like a bit of a downer, so I'll just mind my own business. Not trying to play chess with a pidgeon

Calling me a pigeon is really giving me too much credit. Seriously, what do you do? Are you a med student?

How do you cook your dogs?

How do you cook your dogs?

I've been steaming them. I boil some water and just throw them in. I used to use the old wet paper towel and microwave method but the hotdog cooks unevenly. I could really go for a Johnsonville Bratwurst.

Taking notes for future hot-dog prep.

I see that you edited your post to include your hotdog experience. I see now how boring my thread under buyer reviews is after your fascinating anecdote.

also, hope you know I'm just teasing

Its all good. Seriously, are you a med student?

Yeah I go to med school somewhere in Europe, that's all Im saying in fear of... not sure what actually, but that's all I'm saying lol

Understood. The rep police and Chinese death squads are real, despite what people say. I thought about med school but didn't have the patience for the labs. What type of medicine?

 

[futuredoc]

Very real indeed. Labs are definitely more fun than cramming anatomy tho lol. Still just a student but thinking neurology.

Neurosurgery would be very interesting and lucrative. I had a neighbor who was a radiologist and he loved it. I think looking at films all day would be boring.

So on the topic of this buyer review, just a little update:

I rejected the first QC due to what looked like a scratch on the dial (I should have just GL, it was probably a piece of lint or something).. The second QC arrived shortly after but it seemed to be a different factory watch due to the dial being very different and missing "swiss made" at the 6 o'clock.

First pic is 1st QC (that I should have GL...f***) with correct ZF dial configuration. Second pic is 2nd QC with number spacing problems and just a different looking dial over all.

There was some misunderstanding in communication between Andrew and I at first - he seemed to be talking about the 1st QC pictures in saying it was correct ZF model - but we sorted it out and he let me pick a different watch.

Going with the Noob's rhodium yacht master 3135 now and I let him keep the $30 price difference for his troubles. Communication speed is extremely fast with Andrew (I wonder if there are ANY other TDs that match his customer service speed)

 

[Tucker]

futuredoc Thats the problem with you Noobs being overly critical of the QC pics. You passed up a great looking watch.

Yup. Noob indeed, the flack is warranted. Glad you're back on this thread lol
