Update.

I have received a message back from Alice (PureTime):

We have confirmed receipt of your payment, generally it takes about 1-2 weeks, our QC department will send you QC pics. Thank you again for your order. For further assistance for the QC, you may feel free to email : [email protected]

I will provide further updates as I receive them.

 

[puretime]

Please wait for QC from us. We will try to process your order ASAP

Update: nothing to share yet but it's been over three weeks since I last heard from Puretime.

 

[puretime]

There are raids recently and many factories are affected. Please be patient.

 

[eggs]

I'm going to try and cancel my order and receive a refund. I've emailed sales and will update this thread when I hear from them.

 

[puretime]

Noted. We will get back to you soon

 

[eggs]

Received a refund there's a pretty big thing to consider for anyone else choosing to pay with Bitcoin is that they chose to send me back the $ amount of the watch rather than the BTC I sent them. This is financially wise for them since BTC has increased in value since I paid, however, it makes me wonder if this would be the same outcome had BTC decreased in value in the interim period between payment and refund.

	BTC​	Australian Dollars (at time of refund)​
Sent when I paid	0.00940025​	$424.83​
Received in a refund	0.008256​	$373.12​

 

[mattmcgarnsy]

What was the exact reason you decided for a refund? Was the wait time too long? Would you use them again?

If you paid in bitcoin then you are entitled to receive a refund in bitcoin imo

 

[eggs]

Wait time was too long. I think it’s ridiculous that they would keep the Bitcoin but I have no recourse.

I would never use them again and would advise others against using them.
