First Rep, and first order from Jtime - Excited! Submariner 116610 LN Black Ceramic 904L Steel VSF

[SulkinTaurus]

OK!
Nerves, Doubts, Concerns, and Fears. All pushed to one side, and I've just made my first ever rep order from Jtime. Picked them due to their responsiveness and that people here trust them.
Figured I would get something that is relatively "safe" and plonk the money down on a VSF Black Sub. Don't hate me
So far, no hiccups

1. Emailed them to confirm stock availability 04/12, response 05/12 early morning
2. Ordered online (picking bank transfer) once they confirmed availability 05/12
3. Processed a payment using the instructions emailed in the order invoice 05/12

I must say, communicating via Whatsapp is brilliant. Li was happy to help with info and details, as well as confirming the next steps once I had made the payment itself. He even told me that I had picked the wrong shipping option (UK doesn't need triangle shipping) and reduced the amount I need to send him! I'm not sure of the time difference, but it's 10AM here and we were talking real-time via whatsapp.

I'm waiting for QC pics at some point over the next 7 working days. Hopefully I won't have any concerns with them and will have the watch soon. Nervous and excited!
I'll update if and when anything changes.

Update:

QC pictures arrived this morning, 08/12. GL and approved.

Considering it spans a weekend I got it all sorted over 2 working days effectively.
Excited to receive the watch itself!

Can't post pictures yet as I haven't got anywhere I can upload them to to link them in

Latest update;

Tracking received on 12/12, with shipping confirmation on 15th. UK Royal mail confirmed that item was dispatched to them on the 15th.
​​​Cue, me refreshing the tracking page every half an hour since ????
and today 21/12 confirmation received by royal mail that they have received the parcel and they should be delivering within 48 hours.

So far, my journey started on the 4th and it's looking like just over two week process.

Very excited. Taking a little longer than I had hoped, but quicker than I expected. Perfect timing for Christmas though!

It has arrived! Obvs couldn't wait to show it off and now the Mrs has decided she wanted her Christmas present early once I'd adjusted the bracelet for her ????
Huge thanks to Li & the Jtime team for making it happen, and to this forum and it's members for the guidance and advice.

Only issue now: I want a collection!

For the detail oriented:
Yep, blue reflections on the magnifier.
The crystal is very, and I mean very, slightly tipped, meaning the height is raised at the top in comparison with the bezel, and lower towards the bottom of the watch.
Also, the knurling (edge?) on the bezel doesn't line up. On a gen it is all perfectly centred at the 12, and 6 o'clock points etc.
But the Gen is 20 times the price, and I can live with those tiny differences.
Apart from that I can't see anything that anyone will actually notice without doing what I did; an hour of inspection with a loupe.
