Review on the overall process: 4/5
I ended up with a Santos de Cartier instead. Pics at the end.
Where I went wrong was that I did not ask in advance if PureTime had the watch I wanted. That was my bad, I accept I made this mistake, but it took them a few weeks and I had to follow up before they were able to tell me that. I've docked one point for that. I asked about some others and those were also out, but I ended up with this one, which I had been interested in anyways.
The rest of the process went super smoothly. PureTime was quick to have the watch ready, provide QC pics, as well as do a couple extra measurements upon request. They also refunded the difference for this watch with no hassles on my end. Watch looks nice, keeps time well.
Overall, I would buy again from them, though I should check what they have in stock first.
