First Rep purchase with Chazingtime. Bluesy Sub

[Captain Insano]

Hey everybody, I am quite new here, but have read a lot during the last week.
So now I'm feeling ready to make my first purchase. I chose to go for a Clean Factory Bluesy, offered by Chazingtime, mainly because of the crypto discount he has right now. I already got in touch with him to ask if it would be on stock/sourceable.
I'll be updating the progress here, so wish me luck

I am quite happy with the overall quality, at least from my noob eyed view, but what immediately stands out to me, is the very yellowish tone of the gold. From what I've seen and read, that usually is more of an issue with the VFS. If it wasn't for the Clean stickers I would have thought he sourced me a VSF watch. What do you think? Main reason I chose Clean was to get as close to the correct gold tone as possible.

Looks fine to me.

 

[Captain Insano]

26/01/24 Requested additional QC pictures in different lighting (due to yellowish looking gold) and another timegrapher reading with different lift angle, since I was informed, that the used 58° is too high and might result in higher than acutal amplitude reading

BP seems to make the best Gold colour at the moment.
Don't look to much on timegrapher results. Maybe the watch is not fully Wind. When it arrives things can have changed again. TG should only Show that the watch is working.

Thx mate, I'll await the new pictures, movement should be ok.
I decided to go for the Clean, since to me it was one of the best gold colors in combination with the best blue dial. However, on most other pictures I so so far, the gold looked significantly less yellow than on the QC pictures I received, hence my hesitation. Maybe it's just the lighting though, after all it does have the "Clean" stickers on it, so it should be the same as the other Cleans I have seen from other users.
Thanks for your input though.

27/01/24 Additional QC pictures arrived, TG readout looks perfect, gold tone is allright I guess. I GLed, now waiting for the shipment and hoping it will make it through customs.





So far I have been completely happy with this TD. Super fast replies, good communication and service. That coupled with a great price offer and I will for sure buy more from him in the future. I'll update once the watch arrives. Can't wait

06/03/24 Package arrived.

Guys I am absolutely amazed by this watch, it is even better in real life than on any picture and I am blown away how good reps can really be.

As for the dealer, I can only restate what I said before, I am really satisfied and will (and did already) order more!
For whatever reason the shipping took quite long and the status of the tracking didn't change until one day before the watch arrived. I tried my best to remain patient throughout the entire time but eventually couldn't hesitate to ask for any info or an alternative tracking number for the package a week ago. The guys at Chazing replied after a while promising to check with the sender but by then the tracking became active and the watch arrived within a day.
All in all a positive experience and totally worth the waiting time. Can fully recommend.

 

[Captain Insano]

And here it is. As I said, pictures can't capture how stunning it looks in real life.
The quality seems impecable to my noob eye, it feels and handles super well and is surprisingly heavy. I love it. Thanks to this forum and the dealer for introducing me into this exciting world!

Thanks for sharing, I love this piece, would be interesting to see x-time of wear and tear … as there is a lot of talk about durability of the gold wrapping/ plating …

 

[Captain Insano]

Thanks man.
Well I'm curious too, I hope it's not too bad and will take special care. It's not supposed to be a daily anyway so I hope it will last long
If something changes I might come back to you if I remember. Cheers

I've consistently noticed that most gold tones look worse in QC pics than in real life. This seems to be no exception; it looks great on your wrist.

Me personally, while I've only had my Clean Daytona 116508 since November of last year, I can say that as of now the gold is still in perfect condition, and I've worn it pretty much every day.

I have a gen gold TT and it looks orangey in certain lights so I wouldn't worry about the gold colour it changes all the time anyway.

Indeed, it surely applied to this. I was really uncertain and it is my first buy, hence my request for additional pictures to be sure. After they looked similar I thought "ah what the hell" And GLed anyway and lo, I was not disappointed
I'm glad to hear that about your Daytona. Can't say I have seen one in gold so far though.
