First Purchase from TrustyTime!

[Rupert Fripp]

I placed my first order from Andrew of a NOOB PAM005 Panerai Luminor 44mm

Done my research and heard great things about TrustyTime.

Andrew has been very responsive thus far and have transferred funds and am awaiting QC.

Will definitely share with you guys as I’d appreciate the eagle eyes on this forum as my first replica purchase!

Hi Guys,

Super quick service thus far. Just received my QC pics within two days!

What's everyone's thoughts?

My thought is that you should read the Board rules.
--> No general QC picture postings. If you have a specific question (for example: are the hands ok like this, they look busted?) then its allowed.
So: do you have a specific question on these QC Pictures where you are not sure about giving GL?

Worth a read or the post could get nuked.

Thanks for pointing out! Sorry! Should of clarified.

Does the glass look okay? I noticed a mark in between the '6' and '7'.

Also, the area around the crown looks dirty potentially?

Please see pics!

Anything else you guys spot would be great!

Thanks!

I’ve literally just purchased a Rolex 16622. Looking forward to QC pictures. These look good!

Regarding all of your questions:

Dust / Dirt is most of the times on QC pics in that amount.
You can give Green Lights.
Please lookup the informations about QC pictures and what they are for.

cheers

Quick Update:

Raised a couple of points to Andrew on the QC pics for the watch, he’s checking with the factory and coming back to me.

Andrew sent through a pic of the extra rubber strap I ordered, with had a white mark on it, Andrew quickly got it swapped over and approved it.

Great service thus far! Looking forward to an update on the watch points and getting it shipped!

Update soon.

 

[Rupert Fripp]

Andrew came back with new QC pics. Greenlit and awaiting shipping confirmation.

 

[Rupert Fripp]

Watch and Strap Shipped!

Will post pics upon arrival

 

[Rupert Fripp]

Update all.

My watch arrived a month post order.

Love the watch! Noob have done a great job with this rep!

Was some issues with the order though. I paid for a rubber strap with Trusty but the factory included that strap anyway.

Also, the crown was broken - Andrew is sending a new one out once the part is back in stock.

Still on going but Andrew seems to be supportive in trying to find a resolution and will keep updating the thread.

Some eye candy pics below of the watch (and crown issue).

Very nice Rupert Fripp , well wear.
Surprisingly I like the rubber strap with it, having swore off rubber straps in the past, go figure

Glad you're getting sorted with any/all issues.

Enjoy.

 

[Rupert Fripp]

Yeah! I saw a pic of the Pam005 on the black rubber strap and it’s what made me want this watch as my first rep purchase.

User iPisi70 has kindly fashioned me a handmade Leather strap that will alternate with.

For sure, will see how things progress but am confident all will be taken care of.

 

[Rupert Fripp]

Quick update.

Andrew has been very accommodating in trying to rectify these issues.

He has said it might take some time for the part to come in as a result of the raids and gave me a partial refund so I can pay a local watchsmith to fit the new crown/stem when it arrives.

He also offered to refund me for the strap I paid for that already came with the watch. Will be sending that back ASAP!

That is awesome service in fairness.
And that's why they're Trusted, am glad it's working out for you.

Now the next challenge is to find a local watchsmith that works on reps, or perhaps hit the below section

https://forum.replica-watch.info/for...nd-horologists

Maybe one near where you are.

Ps. The lime shot is pure class, well wear Sir & enjoy

just saw this announcement actually

Rubber strap definitely better imo. The factory "leather" straps are pretty naff and give the game away.
