First order with Ryan at Intime. Payment was a little difficult as I tried to use a few cards on the dummy payment websites and they wouldn’t go through. My CC provider said there was no attempts, so we switched over to paypal and that went through easily, and Ryan confirmed within 30 minutes.

Thought I would place a timeline so anyone purchasing from intime has a rough timeline. The watches were sent to LA.

Timeline (California local time)

1. Placed Order 8/21
2. Payment issues 8/22
3. Payment cleared using Paypal 8/23
4. QC Reviewed and approved 8/24
5. Shipping label generated 8/25
6. Shipped 8/27
7. No tracking until received 9/3 (DHL E-commerce)
8. Transferred to USPS 9/5
9. No tracking until 9/6 Received by local USPS
10. Delivered on 9/7

Ordered 2 PP 5811 (PPF). Both were securely packed and wrapped.

Review of the watch:
2 piece construction Very thin. (Positive)
Band and clasp are very well constructed
crown tucks in to an appropriate level, better then PPF 5711
dial is perfect as a 5711 should be closer to 40th anniv. Darker blue dial
bezel is tight and appears close to gen
movement still makes noise when you spin the watch (will have it oiled soon), however does not make any noise when wearing it.
Text on dial is solid

Overall 8.5/10 by way of rep, and 10/10 purchasing on intime. Ryan was great to work with and I look forward to the next one.
If you aren’t fanatical and can pull off this watch, it’ll probably never be questioned. But who am I kidding this is RWI, so wait til V402.

Your order was from your timeline 2 days prior to my 1st order w/ Intime . Did you have to sign w/ USPS? I just yesterday saw my package ( 1st order 5711 on strap ppf ) now in Orlando. About 3 hrs north of me . Curious why you didnt give 10/10 by way of rep?. And I also had a payment issue w/ CC but opted for crypto & Ryan extended a discount.

It probably arrived sooner to me since im in the west coast, and a carrier hub. Also no need to sign up for USPS, just track the code on DHL.com and USPS.com, it works on both and will give you progress from DHL then once it hands off to USPS it’ll show the tracking for last mile.

Also, Sorry didnt mention why I didnt give it 10/10

1. The crown doesnt screw in, it clicks out.
2. The decorative rotor is kind of loud at times, will need to get the bearings oiled.
3. The dial isnt blue enough as a 5811, it looks more 5711

So 8.5/10 (solid score) , im sure PPF will improve on future Versions

Did the band have the adjuster tab as well? I can never tell in the pictures.
