First JTIME Order: Breitling Navitimer B01

[noodles79]

Hi guys. Finally I placed my first order for a Breitling Navitimer B01 wit a silver/black dial and a stainless steel bracelet.
Here I will share my experience with the dealer:

30.10. - Asked about watch, payment (want to do it with Wise), bracelett and shipping to china. "Li" answered immediately: QC would take 5-10 days, shipping 1-3 days, Wise possible, can order via whatsapp or site.
09.11. - Placed order via website. Used "standard payment" because Wise wasn't an option there. Waiting for answer but today it's too late already.

10.11. - Received detailed and clear instructions on how to proceed with Wise. Payment has been made, screenshot has been sent. Waiting for mail with QC (5-10 days).

14.11. - QC pics and video were provided. To me it looks very good, so I approved.

 

[noodles79]

18.11. - I asked for an update.

 

[noodles79]

(Before there's a misunderstanding: ~15h after my approval of QC on 14.11. I got the info that shipping would be arranged soon.)

 

[noodles79]

19.11. - Learned, that they only forgot to inform me about the shipping, because package arrived on my chinese destination on 17.11. already!


I asked them about the case for the watch (if it is normally included, if not, if it's possible for future purchases, sent seperately, etc. etc.) and will write it down here. I myself will receive the watch in ~10 days and provide photos).
So far so good.

20.11. - Box and papers are available for $90 + shipping. Because they can't provide pics now and I have limited time, I didn't ordered. No problem though.

Tried to search about the box on google but found two different ones. So I don't know which box I would actually get but if it's the latter, I wouldn't want to pay... any amount of money for it at all.




Like I said before: If I have the watch in my hands, I will provide pics.

Finally on hand. What a beauty:

I would (and will) order from JTIME again.

28.12.23 - I reordered 5 segments for the stainless steel bracelet for my father's wrist.
30.12.23 - They wanted it transferred directly by wire this time ($100), so I did.
05.01.24 - Asked for a status: They need more time to arrange.
11.01.24 - Asked again for a status.

Excellent, like mine (traveling with DHL)........

 

[noodles79]

Nice! Hope you receive soon.

22.01.24 - Asked for a status again and mentioned my dissapointment. 23 days now since ordering, Li apologized and wrote that the parts should be ready within this week.

 

[noodles79]

29.01.24 - Nothing happened. Asked for a status again. ....

 

[noodles79]

29.01.24 - About my status question, Li's answer is "Not yet". He's still waiting for the factory.

Guys, please help me out here:
Li says that it takes more time to get some segments of a wrist. Okay, may it be. But more than 4 weeks without any progress?
Is this normal? What are your experiences?

If you take some time and read through the forum, you'll see that certain models take longer than others. That's how the game goes. If you don't have the intestinal fortitude to wait and stop pestering the TD, it's best to move on from the model you ordered.

I am curious as I have also been looking for a Navitimer. What factory is this from? a7750 movement? I see the sunken date is still there, so I am guessing that option is no longer available.

Certain models? I'm not sure if you understand that I got the watch already.
Just ordered additional segments for it's wrist 2 weeks later and am trying to understand now how these take a lot longer to deliver than the actual watch.

Pestering? ... okay...

Sorry, I can't answer your question because I don't know enough about the subject. Only bought the watch for my father.

Hopefully someone else here will be able to help you.

Segments ? Did you order your watch in pieces ?

You should order the extra links with the watch or look on ebay. Ordering just links is the same amount of work, if not more, as ordering a watch while the Police are trying to catch the dealers.
