I'm not sure if folks really find these types of timeline posts helpful since there seem to be so many of them, but since this was my first rep purchase I feel obliged.
After much deliberation on what my first rep would be, I landed on the PAM1250 because it checked a lot of boxes for me. I waited until after the CNY holiday to place my order, and since this was a new model from VSF I think that helped to expedite things a bit. Below was the timeline:
19 Feb - Placed order
20 Feb - Payment processed
22 Feb - QC photos received and GL'd
26 Feb - Tracking details provided
8 Mar - Order received!
Overall Andrew was very prompt and made the process very smooth. At first I was going to use a credit card for payment, but had second thoughts about it and decided to use Revolut which offers a virtual card option. Honestly getting that account set up and funded was probably the biggest hassle of this whole order.
The watch looks absolutely stunning in person and I can see now why people say once you get one rep you will certainly be getting more. For now, I'm going to enjoy this beauty and the new straps I have on the way (the rep strap is indeed pretty terrible, as others have commented).
Thanks Andrew for the great service and thank you RWI members for the wealth of information that allowed me to make informed decisions and set expectations.
