First order with puretime

[xdragosx]

Hello, this is the first order and the first post on this forum, first of all I’d like to thank everyone on the forum for providing all this info about these watches
My experience so far with puretime:
Order date: 15 March , order number:

#100266606 ( one 116610 lv and one 126610 ln)​

Payment date: 15 March
Payment confirmation: 16 March
QC pics: 17 March
Everything went smoothly so far but one of the watches (116610) has the 802b serial number that I’ve read here it’s not a “full” vsf. The 126610ln looks like it has a 2r9 serial number with a 3vv clasp that I think it’s ok.
Replied to QC saying that the 126610 it’s ok but the 116610 isn’t.
Any thoughts?
Thank you all

[Mod edit/eBoy: Please familiarize yourself with our forum policies pertaining the posting of full sets of QC photos without a specific question.]

A little on QC pics.

QC pics are to satisfy YOU that the watch is OK to YOUR standards, that there are no crooked indices, missing lume, offset chrono hands etc. QC pics are not for picking tells or things that are present in every example of a model such as spelling errors, happy feet, wrong lume colour etc. These...

The purpose of QC pictures

At RWI, we're fortunate to have a few dealers who take the time to individually procure, inspect, and photograph watches for potential buyers. This has not always been the norm, and in fact, it's a recent development. Up until about two years ago, all of the dealers drop-shipped everything and...

OP: I think you broke the 2023 record for posting unapproved QC pics. At least those were the most I have personally seen so far.

Please check out both links I posted over your QC pics.

Jokes aside, I arrived late, haven't seen any pics. And I'm afraid I'm not the right guy to ask, TDs could probably sell me all possible cheapies as I have no clue about clasp codes or serial numbers, I just buy what I like.
OP, nevertheless you could take some time to introduce yourself in the New members area and read all the sticky threads there, you'll learn a lot about the forum and get some good advice along the way.

Further clarification: What would have been ok is to post one or two photos along with the serial number question. Also, regarding the other supposedly GLed watch... Posting the full set with "I think it's OK...? Guys? What do you think?" is not really clearly GLed in my book unless you tell the TD firmly "approved & ship it".

Yup, let's start over. A new fresh beginning.

My suggestion to @xdragosx:

Read the stickies, including the forum rules.

Start here:

New Members - WELCOME! Must reads and interesting info, START HERE!

Welcome to RWI! :) Here are some links with interesting information and must-reads, that helped me a lot in the beginning. Hope it will do the same for you! Start reading, there is a lot of interesting information available. Forum Terms & Abbreviations, what do they mean: this will make...

forum.replica-watch.info

Then properly introduce yourself in the "new members say hi" sub section.

Then go to the flame-free zone in the new members area and start a fresh thread asking about the serial number and sensibly posting one or two photos and we'll pretend this thread here never happened.

Ups. Not the record I d like to break . I ll read that. Will never happen again

Hey, it's all good, brother. Nobody here wants to scare you away... We all make mistakes sometimes.

Your reaction shows that you are a very reasonable and well adjusted individual. Exactly the kind of new members we want to have!

Welcome to RWI!
You passed the test!

We ordered this batch of watches directly from the VSF, so we are sure they are from VSF.

I haven't paid attention to this serial number issue for a long time, because there are almost no factories that imitate VSF now. In 2021, because VSF factories seldom release watches, there are many fake VSF factory products on the market. After they resumed normal work at the end of last year, those factories that imitated them gradually disappeared.

I will ask them about this new serial numbers starting with 802B, will check with VSF maker.

@puretime Excellent work!

Thank you for you reply, I just wanted to ask about it since I saw a post about this serial number, it could be fals information. Both watches look perfect and I GL the 126610LN with 2r9 serial. Have a great weekend

21 March: Just received new QC of an 116610 watch with S39 serial. After a few minutes I reply with GL. Cause probably I’m an idiot the idea of having the serial number many people talks about gives me a peace of mind.. as for the watch details, both of them (116610lv s39 serial and the 126610ln 2r9 serial) look very good in the pictures to my eyes.. everything was fast so far and puretime was very understanding with a newbie like me

Anytime I see someone with a nice Rolex, I immediately grab their wrist, bust out a loupe and check the serial number.

You forgot, after checking the serial number you shout: "doomsday is near! Remember you have to die!"
