First Purchase with CTime

[gianton]

This is my first order with CTime for a CF BLRO Pepsi v2 on jubilee bracelet with DD3285 movement. Communication via WhatsApp was fast and they were very polite answering all my questions.

Nice Post, Ctime is a good choice

Small update: my watch is running great so far almost 2 weeks since received. Only issue so far is that a couple of screws from the bracelet links keep unscrewing while wearing the watch, which is dangerous to loosen apart and damage my watch after a fall.
@CTime advised me to take a video first and then he’ll contact the factory for a replacement bracelet as my request.

My next buy from ctime.

Unfortunately CTime took back his commitment to send me a replacement bracelet and instead he offered me to send me replacement screws. I don't think the new screws will solve the issue with the loosened links.

now that's disappointing, only thing i can suggest is to get the screws changed over by a watch maker and hopefully if still no good then escalate and hopefully he'll then send a replacement strap?

fingers crossed for you

Take the screws out and apply some Loctite to them. Should be good to go!

That is how I see it too.
I had the same problem and was happy with the Loctite method. You just have to make sure to use a tiny drop.
For me it worked with a toothpick (to apply the Loctite).

When I changed my own links, I always applied a bit of the thread lock by loctite. It works well.

did you manage to get a positive result from all this?
