I wanted to update my post in regards to my package that was seized by us customs in January of this year. It took forever for them to send me a letter stating that my watch was seized. Puretime agreed right from the start to send a second watch as soon as I received a letter from customs. Months went past and still no letter. Puretime stayed in touch throughout and eventually told me letter or not that by the 17th of March they would send a replacement. As they have since the start they stuck to what they said and mailed a new watch on the 18th. That watched arrived a few days ago as did the letter from customs finally lol.
I cant say enough good things about puretime and the ease of dealing with them through this. It took a long time I ordered the watch in December or 18 but in the end I got exactly what I paid for even though the first watch was seized. I was a bit worried as purtime did tell me that if the second watch was also seized that they would not send another. I cant say I blame them its not a good business model to keep sending expensive watches that keep being seized. Thank goodness I did not have to go through that. This one came with zero issues.
That said I did receive registered mail today from a law firm representing Rolex threatening to sue me for 200k if I did not stop trying to import rolex watches. Has anyone got this before? Is this just a scare tactic or should I be worried? My guess is this is just what they do to scare you into not buying another one in the future. What scares me is they spent the money and time to send out a registered letter from a big shot law firm on thick heavy stationary. So I guess when customs seizes your watch they notify the company that it is a copy of incase they wish to pursue a lawsuit against you. It has me a little worried but I hope it just passes quietly
Anyone deal with this before? Should I answer the letter or just let it go?
