First time buyer - Experience with Rolex Daytona 116500LN

[yardenbe]

Hi all,

After conducting my own research I decided to order from Jtime Clean Factory's Daytona 116500LN with black dial and 4130 v3 movement.

Here is the timetable of events:

29/12/22 - Officially placed the order via bank transfer, Li gave me the OK that payment has been received the following morning
2/1/23 - Lana Contacted me with first QC images of the watch.
2/1/23 - I made another purchase of a matching Rolex box with matching documents - Still haven't received any QC information on that one.

Knowing this is a process where patience is of the essence I am pleased to see that everything runs smoothly so far. I hope it will continue onwards once I'll receive the watch so I'll be able to proceed with new orders I'm keen of placing.

As for QC images here are some examples: Overall according to what my eyes see everything looks fine, I also asked Lana for further questions and QC requests before I give my thumbs up. If anyone sees here any defect (which I cannot see) I'll be grateful to be notified.

Alright, lets continue with the updates:

3/1/23 - Lana contacted me once again with a second QC session according to my request, gave her my approval once saw that everything functions well. Checks on my end were made by relying on YouTube videos of the CF model, alongside by comparing as much as I can between the replica and the real model.
4/1/23 - Lana double checked with me my address and advised me that tracking number will be given within 3-5 business days.
7/1/23 - Lana sent me tracking numbers of both watch and box, with a photo of each package and parcel manifest, alongside arrival instructions and what to do if due to possible faults that might occur to the watch due to shipping mishandling.

Will update once item arrives.

Here is my complete update:

17/1/23 - The watch finally arrived. Everything came intact, neat including the box and watch itself.

After receiving the watch I contacted Lana and Li after noticing that the crown etching on the 6 O'clock position is invisible whatsoever. After being advised by Lana I managed to somehow see it but it was very very faint. Li confirmed that this is how things are being done and it is normal, 1:1 to the real deal.

In total, everything went super quick:

21/12/22 - from placing the order
up until 17/1/22 - with receiving the watch.

I am overall satisfied.

Here are some photos of the actual watch and box:
