CTime is a scam

[FunkyAP]

Hello Dear Community,

I bought 2 watch’s lastly from Ctime. Their scam is very well organised, they give you a list of option to choose, promise u a good work in time and then they send you a very bad watch.

I bought a clean Pepsi with this :

- pepsi from Clean $598
- waterproof upgrade $48
- fix pinion cap 88$
- slightly polish the watch 188$
-deep crystal $108
-shipping $40

The watch that arrived was horrible, one link open so the watch opened directly, bezel is horrible not working and crystal is poor quality and i even doubt if it’s clean + the watch is terribly dirty with grease everywhere.

So when i begin to ask CTime what is this ? He told me that first pinion cap is not visible. Second limit he told me that I am lying. Third he stop answering. Please just be aware they will promise things it’s horrible work… I feel dumb because I ask him at one moment of the process to send me 1 or 2 pics of the mods process, he answered me very badly No that it’s not possible and modder don’t have time…a picture it’s only 1 or 2 sec once u have paid it’s too late. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM.

Can you provide proof of order? @FunkyAP To give you at least some credibility

Well at least it's a clean... that bezel grease is all over the crystal!

Second that. Very curious about what is involved in modding a cap pinion on a 126710

 

[ronin007]

Terrible I’ll give you 400 for it

I still shake my head at these folks paying that much for "water proofing"

Here is the proof

I'm with you.

Aside: I've been wanting to ask Ctime if they ever test beyond a 3ATM/3BAR, after a noob had been squawking that they'd paid extra for this 'water proofing' service but only had had the watch tested to pass 3atm as a standard and not tested beyond it.

I hadn't even noticed the price attached to a polishing job at first glance!

I've owned one of those pressure testing machines for the past decade and it was a great investment. I test my watches I do want to get wet to 5 bar, and it really gives you peace of mind. They are under $100, and worth it if you want to take a questionable watch swimming.

Additionally, if OP is suspect of the watch being a clean factory, feel free to post the serial on the rehault and bracelet code, and I am check to see, but frankly, that grease in the bezel tells me all I need to know.

And the fact that CTime is a trusted vendor.

It is quite possible the modder did him dirty, as I've never had experience having a TD send my watch out for additional services.

Tell me, why should CTime be held responsible for the work of a third-party?

Now I'm in doubt on having sent my money to Ctime would it be best to just get the watch without waterproof treatment just as is from the factory then?

Ctime is a trusted dealer for a reason. As far as the adds, you need educate yourself and see what's worth doing. Personally I would never get any upgrades. I rather see the watch in hand and decide what I need on my own.

 

[Nickyan]

Thanks, I'll do so then. I've paid for the watch but not yet for upgrades.

There is organized cooperation through CTime. So yes... they would.
Ordered through CTime.

I hope they can make this right for you.

Well first because I paid him directly and maybe because he advertise here for the mods with beautiful pics … Of course he is responsible of the modders and the work he promise to his clients…
