Hello Everyone.

  • Nautilus 5712 PPF Super Clone V2
  • Ladies Nautilus 7118 3KF Super Clone
  • Aquanaut 5167 3KF Super Clone V2

I plan to write about my experience working with PureTime in both this thread and the other thread I have started in the new members area. Please feel free to following along with me throughout this journey if you are interested.

Let me know if you have any questions and I will provide updates as they are available.

Hello,
I'm learning about TDs and I was thinking of eventually placing my order with puretime too... Please, I look forward to hearing your thoughts about the experience.

May I ask you whether you're ordering from EU or UK, by any chance?

Cheers
Ludo

Feb 17th: Received the first watch in the mail (Patek 5712). It is stunning and absolutely beautiful in person. I could not be happier.

Has been an all-around great experience working with PureTime. They are friendly, honest, communicative and easy to work with. If anyone is on the fence and considering placing an order, do it.

I'm now waiting for the other two watches in my order. Will reach out to PureTime if I do not receive QC photos soon.

Hi Graham,
Thanks a lot for the update.

I'm rather curious about the 7118 in particular!
Not sure it's fair or allowed to share QC images, but maybe you can PM me if you wish so.

Cheers

Good to know. The 3KF patek watches are taking much longer now. Please be patient :)
