oh well that explains it ?

Anyway…I accepted all the mods he proposed so he can be cool and make a good job…most important polish was not done, crystal is horrible…+ he didn’t took the time to check if the watch is clean and everything all right…
I am sure he scam me and I am just telling this so he doesn’t do this to others..

could you share some hi res pic in good light?
Ideally if you have an unboxing video too?
and the actual verbatims exchanges with Ctime.

The issue I see here is that we only have your word and a few blurry pics. We don't know whether that watch came from Ctime or not. The low engagement history you have means that the community does not know you. So your word unfortunately does not carry much weight. Not saying you are not being truthful, just that it is impossible to determine.

On the other hand, numerous people have had flawless transactions with them, plus the mods vouch for them.

Therefore, the burden of proof currently lies with you.

Thank You, I am not looking for any validation. I know I am not lying…. And I just needed to share my story because I was really waiting for a very good watch and it was a loss of time and money. I felt scammed and dumb. Hopefully it will help some people. Yes it’s true I don’t write a lot but I have been definitely reading many threads.

I don’t think pics are blurry, i just received 1000 $ of grease…

my point is that sharing your story with the elements you provide is actually not helpful, as you can see in the mixed responses.

Providing detailed evidence would make your statements much stronger and achieve your declared purpose of helping some people.

So just a second.
Are you saying.

Fix what looks like a break in the hour hand at the pinion (if im seeing right)?
So for $88 - swap the hour hand for a new one or repair the hour hand?
Why? would they charge for that and why would you say ok to that.

If thats a QC pic, why would you accept what looks like an obvious flaw?
Why would a dealer charge to fix it and not just swap to a different watch or swap hands Free

What am i missing?
I've never been offered a "mod" to repair a "flaw" before shipping - I certainly would have not accepted being charged for that.

Paying for extra waterproofing - ok i can see people doing that- i wouldn't personally.
Paying to fix an issue prior to shipping from QC - No
Paying to get a brand new watch Polished before shipping - why would it need that???

You have made claims of tomfoolery, but haven't proven your case yet with undeniable facts.

Prove your case with some facts (ie photos/convo, as previously suggested) and we will sympathyze with you. Don't and it's just another unfounded smear job.

Further, I'm always awful suspicious of any negative review where, when the OP is asked for proof, he/she says (basically), "It's okay everyone, I'm not going to do XY&Z, I just wanted to let everyone know."

Not to mention that rep hands are so brittle that I'd be terrified of polishing them.
