Someone once said "welcome to the rabbit hole". It seems that I'm deep inside the hole.
All started 12/2020 when I got sick of waiting for Gen GMT-II or Daytona from authorized dealer(s). I contacted Puretime, but did not hear from them. So, sent a message to Trusty and Andrew replied promptly. Then it started.
First order -
Sea Dweller - 126660 Noob V.10 904L A3235 $528+$50s/h
Sourced in 4 days, QC pics approved, and received in 12 days after ordering. (CONUS) - I like the watch. Quite heavy and pretty impressive.
Second order -
Daytona 116500 Noob V.4 Ceremic 904L A4130 $688+50s/h
Sub 116610LN ARF V4 904L SS A2824 $498+50s/h
Sourced within 6 days, QC pics approved, and received in 14 days. - Both are very nice, especially Daytona V4. (my everyday watch). I have couple gen Subs to compare, and ARF is very good appearance wise. The watch seem little lighter than the gen, but no way anyone can tell just by looking at them. I really like Daytona Noob V4... So the 3rd order.
Third order -
Sub 116619 Full Gold 3135
Two ladies datejust watches.
Took about 40 days to receive due to CNY holiday season. Full gold sub 116619 looks good, but I don't see I'm wearing it to often. Too flashy, but good eye appeal. Both ladies watches look ok but crown is very stiff, and difficult to pull and adjust time/date. Even more difficult to screw back the crown. Not feasible for a lady to do this. I will contact watch service company to do a overhaul. Since some of these watches do not sell too often, I think these were sitting around for a long time. There are some white power residue in crown and bracelet. I will skip any further ladies rep watch.
Fourth order -
Daytona 116518LN Noob V3 904L YG-RU A4130 - 688+50s/h
GMT-II 116713LN ARF 904L 3186 - 498+50s/h
Sub 116613LB VSF 904L YG-SS VS3135 - 488+50s/h
Sub 116613LN VSF 904L YG-SS VS3135 - 488+50s/h
Received both Subs and I like them. Looks great. Both could use movement service which will smooth crown operations. Still waiting for 116518 and 116713. I ordered this right before CNY, and due to the holiday, they are taking bit of time. Will update on Daytona and GMT when I receive them.
So far, transactions with Andrew have been very satisfactory!!
Everybody have a good one~~
Let me try to figure out how to attach or upload pics.
