Yes, Insurance and shipping included, final difference was 80$.

Like I said though, I didn't conclude any purchase with Mark, he had my money refunded because he couldn't source me the watches.

Got my 2nd purchase from Ficotime delivered yesterday - no complaints at all. For a non-TD his services are really top notch, at least from my experience. Pricing is very competitive, too.

just ordered a clean gmt 2 pepsi edition. will write up a review once the entire process is finished. so far the dealer has been super transparent with everything: price, postage, how long QC takes etc etc.

Posting about my 2nd purchase with Ficotime in here instead of starting a new thread. Mark is great with communication and fast with QC and shipping initiation. Really pleasant experience with him, again. Can only recommend.

Watch: CF 36mm Datejust Wimbledon incl. deep xtal and WG-wrapped bezel

Price
Watch: CNY 2600 + 5% insurance
WG bezel & installation: CNY 580
Deep xtal & installation: CNY 420
Shipping to Germany: CNY 160
total CNY 3900 = $549

Oct 16: Asked Mark about the prices mentioned above. Placed my order and deposited $50 (paid in USDT [crypto]).
Oct 18: Received QC pics and gave GL on the same day.
Oct 19: Transferred the outstanding payment.
Oct 24: Got notified that the bezel and xtal were installed (with picture) and shipping would be initiated on the next day.
Oct 25: Received pic of shipping label and DHL tracking number.
Nov 07: Package arrived. Watch is working well. The date is hanging a bit low inside the date window for a few of the calendar days. Not ideal but I can live with it. Could not spot it during QC since only other dates were shown that seem to be properly placed on the DW. Pretty happy with the watch overall.

Cheers!
