This isn't my first time purchasing with ChazingTime. Got a total of 3 pieces previously in my review below so I'm not just a new member taking a swing at them after waiting for a few days.
This experience however wasn't great at all. I'm still waiting on the QC of both my watches after almost 3 weeks. Let me give you a timeline and preface by saying I live in Singapore, so my timezone is the same as in China.
31/5 - Ordered and paid for V6F Hublot BB SS Ceramic
1/6 - Ordered and paid for BP CrPO Good Planet GMT (custom order)
3/6 - QC for CrPO GMT, had to reject because of crooked text.
6/6 - Been a week so asked what's up with the HBB SS Ceramic as I got QC for the same piece within 24 hours the previous time, gave me a standard reply "QC pics would be sent once they are ready". I wasn't happy with that reply but I admit it's only been 6 days and I was a little hasty.
9/6 - QC for HBB SS Ceramic, had to reject because of crooked marker (rare issue with this watch)
11/6 - Second QC for CrPO GMT, all looks good on the exterior so I said it looks great to me. After being put on the timegrapher I realised this was the V6F version with the Miyota 8215 since it was running 21600 bph and not the 28800 bph which the A2836 movement used in the BP version that I ordered. I asked for clarification on why this is the case.
12/6 - I waited for more than 24 hours before I actually sent an email to Ken to clarify what the situation is (Jay does QC and mends another email and Ken mends the main [email protected] from what I understand) After about 26 hours, Jay replied me saying he tested it again and asked the factory and this is the correct watch, not realising that I ordered the BP and not the V6F... After another 4 hours, both of them got back to me saying that they would change with the correct BP make and Ken apologised for the mistake.
18/6 - No new developments since then
20/6 QC for HBB SS - Markers aligned, accepted
21/6 Asked for refund for Omega CrPO GMT and got it in less than 5 minutes.
I do admit, I am new and I am impatient. But within the span of this one order, I've had 3 successful orders with 2 other TDs, one from V6F, one from H-maker and another from Noob factory. Two watches are already in my hands and the last has already been shipped with tracking sent to me.
Of all my 8 orders with TDs, this is also the first time I had to reject any QC. And I've had to reject both of them... I'm definitely no nitpicker but misalignment and crooked markers... That, I have to reject.
In the span of this time it also seems many others have already gotten their watches from ChazingTime. While I don't even have a single confirmed QC yet.
I really do not understand what's with the wait times on this order. It's been almost 3 weeks and as it stands, it doesn't seem as if I'm going to get my watches in my hands anytime soon.
I don't really see myself ordering with ChazingTime again after this experience unless something changes drastically right now.
EDIT: Have since asked for refund for the Omega CrPO GMT and got it.
