Ballon bleu 36mm order log (with pictures)

[Anthony_1990]

Hi all, I will be doing a full step by step review of my order. I bought my wife a ballon bleu 36mm from JF with the diamond markers. I submitted payment yesterday. If anyone has any tips for the qc process on this one I would greatly appreciate it!

My fiancee's 33mm says hi!

Looks good yellobird. What maker and why’d you go for quartz?

 

[Pyknic]

I’ve pulled the trigs, too!

Going for 33mm, V6F w/ textured white dial and auto movement.

i decided to use Sead. PT pointed me towards the TWF, saying that V6F factory are slow and will take long time to get it.

I paid two days ago so let’s see what Sead manages.

are you aware of any detailed comparison anywhere?

It is a 33 mm TW, we went quartz to have slimmer profile and not to worry about winding when not worn.

No QC pics yet then?

I received qc pics and I then found out I accidentally ordered mop instead of white textured dial. I told Edward and Jennifer from Puretime and I also told them if it was too much hassle they could just send me that one but without any hesitation they told me they would swap it with the right watch. Anyways, I received the new qc pics, no real errors other then that there’s definitely a color difference with the dial compared to the auth one but whatever, by itself it looks gorgeous and my wife likes it so I GL’ed and it shipped the 11th.

Btw I would add that the mother of pearl isn’t a watch I would recommend with Cartier watches because the rep mop is beige ish while the auth mop is very pink which would be a total giveaway.

Thanks for the tip on the MOP.

will you post he qc pics?


i got the QC pics for my 33 white text auto yesterday.
Noticed something that is prob nothing on the caseback. Th I screw seems out of place.

I sent it back and asked Sead. Just waiting for a response.

He he usually responds once per day max.

I approved mine. Sead said it was 'just the pic' but maybe he screwed it down.

Will post pics once it arrives.


edit: - i got tracking from Sead today (190718). Should arrive mid aug.

 

[Pyknic]

Well shipping for mine was much faster than expected.
