Hello everyone, I want to share my first experience of ordering a replica watch from China.

Using this forum I have found TD Chazingtime and contact them by email to ordere two models of watches:
1. Omega Planet Ocean Chrono
2. Tudor BlackBay Bronze

The dealer warned me that Tudor from ZF would have to wait about two weeks. Its not a problem for me.
As for the Omega, I couldn't decide which one to order, black dial and black/orange bezel, or gray dial and Grey/Orange. TD dealer told me that both models are in stock, and I have ordered with grey dial.

I paid for the order on December 25 and already on the 27th received QC Photos of Omega .

Unfortunately, there were a lot of mistakes on the Watch. The most critical - the dial is not from this watch. This model should have a gray dial with black markers. On the QC Photo is the grey dial with white makers.



Since December 27th I have been trying to find a solution to this problem. I asked the dealer to replace the watch with the same model but with a black dial. However, he informs me that it is out of stock. But when I made a purchase, he wrote to me that both Omegas were on Stock!

I offered him a replacement for other IWC Annual Calendar and now I'm waiting for his answer.

I will keep you informed as information becomes available.

It is also worth noting that communication before the purchase is much faster than with Alice (QC) after the purchase. I get a response once a day. Okay, I'm not the only client of this dealer, I admit that he has a lot of work and holidays now...

Sales department just contacted me and sent the price difference for IWC. Paid.

Hope everything goes well with Tudor and IWC. I'm waiting for QC photos.

The sales department is really fast and does a good job!

Well, you can never simply trust them even if they are the Quality Controllers. :ROFLMAO:
Looking at those watches above, they are ABSOLUTELY 2 different watches.
And yes, they simply say it is available but once you pay them, and they give you a wrong watch for QC... mysteriously it is not available anymore. LOL
It happened to me to one of the TDs. So I'm still waiting for some TDs who can assure me that it is available before payment and after QC pix/video.
Everyday you can read same story from every thread of various TDs.
You just have to be alert and vigilant before you approve the QC pix/video.

Yes, that's absolutely right. You must always be on the alert and check the watch yourself before confirming QC.

It should also be noted that information on delivery times is not always consistent. I won't blame TD, I don't think he can affect it. You just need to take this into in head, if the watch is needed for a gift, or before a certain date, it is better to order in advance.

Regarding Tudor, TD said that the watch should be pre-ordered from XF maker and the waiting time is 1-2 weeks. Yesterday, TD told me that the watch will be sent after the Chinese New Year. Since they are not in a hurry for me - for me it's okay.

Today I received DPD tracking number to the Czechia for IWC. Apparently the clock decided to send separate parcels. Thanks for this!!!

I want to order another watch for my wife, maybe I will order today and TD send it together with Tudor. I will write below.

It really is irritating how they PUSH PUSH PUSH and contact you almost immediately until payment is made, and then it’s like you’re forgotten. It shows that they are capable of fast response time, but their primary interest is only the money. I know, I’m a wishful thinker, but I would pay a premium to a TD who did it for a living out of his love for watches over his love of profit.
That doesn’t even bring to light the actual amounts these TD’s pay for what we get…..my girlfriend was a flight attendant for United for 18 years, and frequently visited China. The stories she’s told me and the jewelry/watches/leather goods I’ve seen that she bought indicates they’re at least charging double in many cases. Even if they sold a watch per day that’s a damn good income in China.

I’d actually like to take a trip myself and spend a couple months to see if I could form any relationships myself!

You should make a separate post to make your second purchase easier to find, and to chronicle how this transaction goes. The more reviews we give for TDs the better!

I still don’t like that you had to pay the difference in the second watch you ordered due to the fault of Chazingtime. It’s much easier for them to just be a little more thoughtful and thorough than to blame it on anything else. It’s not like they handle thousands of transactions per day.

It’s especially bothersome when they claim something is in stock, then turn around and say it isn’t. That looks like they just didn’t take the time to change their website, either that or they don’t care in the least what you wind up with as long as they get their money.

If I walk into a car dealer to buy a car they listed for sale, and they take my money for it, then try and tell me they’ll give me a different car for more money, I’m leaving, that’s that. Idk, that’s how I feel at least.

Can anybody say how is going triple shipping via Czechia?
I received the 11.01 tracking number for DPD.
Delivery must be to Germany.

On January 22, I was delighted - according to the tracking number, the parcel arrived in Essen, Germany. I was thinking of getting the watch the next day :) But they are making a trip around Europe. On 23.01 the watch was on its way to Austria, and today it is at the Depot in the Czech Republic. Should I expect the next spot again Germany?

There really is no way to tell, and the only advise I can give is to be patient within reason. If months go by, then fill out a help desk ticket.
It’s frustrating, I know. But we are dealing in illegal goods, so we can’t expect prompt service .

Give us an update when you receive it!

Today I received my IWC - I am very pleased with the watch. First impressions are positive. In a couple of days I will be able to give a more detailed review, perhaps already in another thread of the forum.

Now about the strange.

Also today I received QC photos from Alice for Cartier, which I ordered for my wife. Very surprised. Cartier ordered with Swiss ETA 2671 Automatic movement 28800 VPH

On the QC photo from the timegrapher, the frequency is 21600, which corresponds to the NH05A movement, which is 3 times cheaper!!!

I wrote about this to Alice, I'm waiting for an answer.

On February 2nd I received QC Photos Tudor's BlackBay Bronze. Unfortunately, the nylon strap that should have been included is missing.
I have reported about this to Alice, she said "I will send QC once maker issue the strap"

I cann't understand what kind of job the QC Department does if they can't check the watch has a nylon strap or not?, or check if the correct movement is installed (remember, in Cartier I ordered the Swiss caliber ETA 2671, in the QC photos it was NH05). Until now, I have not received info when the issue with Cartier will be fixed.

Communication with Chazingtime is getting harder and harder and even my angelic patience is running out

Still haven't received my watch.

1. Tudor - Alice sent photos to QC without a nylon strap, which should be included. For three weeks now I have been waiting for it to be received from the manufacturer ... I asked to send Tudor without the strap, and the strap separately when the TD receives it. It's better than nothing.

2. Cartier - still no news

My last emails are ignored or give a standard response without meaning.
