Thanks for the order. We will take care of it, please feel free to contact us if you need any help,
Payment was confirmed today. Received an email that said QC would be 2-3 weeks out even though I was originally told 3-4 days 24 hours prior to the purchase. Could just be a misunderstanding between departments. Will update as I know more.
Welcome to RWI. I suggest you spend 4-6 weeks reading so you know what you are doing. Trusted Dealers do not stock watches. They go to the factory that makes the watches. If the watch is in stock the delivery is fast. If not you have to wait for the next production run. If you are in the USA don't use DHL or FedEx. The seizure rate is high. I lost 3 watches to Customs till I learned to wait weeks for the post office to deliver.Payment was confirmed today.

This is not Amazon.
Calm down my guy. I understand the process, and am in no way upset. I’m simply reporting my experience to help others who are considering a purchase. I asked if the product was on hand/available from factory/required a special order, and then asked for an estimated QC based on that status. I was told what I was told.
No hard feelings over here. I’m sure I’ll get what I get when I get it

It's just the automatic reply. Everyone gets the same email when payment is confirmed
I appreciate the reply. As you say, I just received the QC photos and approved it. Looks awesome!
Received notification of shipment today and got my USPS tracking number. Very excited! Will continue to update this thread as the watch makes its way to me.
Just getting around to making this post, but the watch arrived on Monday 3/18. It is absolutely gorgeous.
Total time from placing the order, to wearing it on my wrist was only 19 days. That level of service alone is enough to make me a lifelong customer. Thank you Puretime!

Unfortunately, I have some bad news to share.
The watch has now completely stopped working. It was worn a total of 7 times (weddings and special occasions) and kept in a secure dry jewelry box along with my other watches for the rest of the time I’ve had it. It was never dropped or banged. It seemingly just decided to stop turning after 3-4 months of normal movement (Via both winding and regenerative charging).
I’m disappointed to say the least, and wanted to share for the benefit of others who are contemplating a purchase.

I have bought more Reps than I want to admit. Some are great, some are DOA, and some need service at some point. Sending a Rep for service is part of the process of buying Reps. Your only paying about 10-15% of a Gen.
It sucks that your watch isn't working. Can find a rep friendly watchmaker to take a look at it to diagnose the problem. Hopefully it's an easy and cheap fix.
This is why @tkingjr suggested a few months back to do some research about buying a rep and what to expect.
I still disagree that was his or her intention, but thanks for your advice.
Sorry to hear what happened to the watch. Please kindly email us if you need any assistance, thank you
