First order with CTime - 41mm Submariner 126610 LN VSF to USA - Great Outcome

It actually was a good idea to trade on Alibaba. I’d rather do that since they have strict rules on protecting customers rights. In my case, I was able to get a partial refund in my watch but it probably won’t be the case if I traded directly with a dealer, even if he was a TD. It is still risky as if things went wrong, no one on earth would guarantee your money back or at least reaching an acceptable resolution.

This forum has strict rules that protect the buyer when purchasing through a TD. There are rules implemented to protect buyer and seller when using the M2M section too. In the latter you should see what happens when you try and scam another member on here. There is a help desk and you can open up a ticket and one of the mods will try to find a resolution between the two parties involved. Should read some of the threads in the brig.

Wow, things get interesting here quick ... amazing to me she it still spot on current time (truly better than my gens, but they all have some years on them). if I had the right tool, would be happy to pop off the back, glad to listen if there is an easy trick with home tools. I only tested the power reserve for ~40 hours, will report back when I switch timepieces (overall just happy I have a substitute for my gen in the NYC subways, easy to part with ...)

Great, would love to hear feedback, if it is truly VS3235 then you should get something between 65-70hrs

Btw, I don’t recommend opening the case cover by yourself as it may affect the waterproofing of your watch unless you’re an expert and know how to properly seal it back. You can take it to a watchmaker or a watchsmith to open for you and take photos of the movement. Then you can compare your movement with pictures and details listed in the article below. It is a very useful guide:
