I feel like Puretime is scamming me.

I purchased a Clean Batman at the beginning of October last year from Puretime, and until now, no QC, nothing. I see people posting their Clean Batman QC pics almost every week on Reddit. Puretime told me they don't even know when they are going to get the watch from Clean. Are any of you experiencing the same wait time with Clean watches? It's been more than 5 months and I want to know if Puretime is holding my money hostage.

I assume you are sure you bought from the genuine Puretime?

If you have, you will get your watch.

5 months sounds like a long time though, but then again you never know in this hobby - sometimes it just takes a long time to source the watch.

Ugh, I guess I might have this to look forward to then just with a clean Pepsi from another dealer. at least it’s just a deposit though and not the full amount.

Sorry for keeping you waiting but it's been discussed many times that clean GMT has a long wait. We did not scam you or try to hold your money. If you would like to change your order or a refund, Please just drop us an email.

5 months is a long wait, I think @hpham1991 is very patient customer and him feeling neglected is understandable.
I would suggest that you get your batman GMT in M2M as there are plenty of them for sale and change your PT order to something else.

I’ personally am expecting a wait like that. I rationalize it by acknowledging the fact that even gens can take months and months to arrive so I’m getting a very realistic rep along with a wait realistic to the gen. We will see how long my patience lasts.

I just ordered 4 GMTs from Clean last week and I am receiving them this week. How is a five month wait justified? I’m sure many others have ordered them and received. This makes me feel like it wasn’t ordered from the genuine site?

That’s very interesting because two verified dealers both told me at least the Pepsi is going to take quite a while. Things seem to be screwed up then

you are now the third dealer to say you are waiting. The only thing a customer can do then is wait

Guess starting one thread wasn't good enough for the OP

The v3 will. Other GMTs should be available.

It's a long wait indeed, but it's not the reason to hint at scamming, as per thread title.

Puretime gave a reason, plus the option to cancel and refund.

The title said he FEELS like he's been scammed, not actually scammed.
Click bait?

Yes I agree that there is no scam going on and puretime has been communicating with OP all along and OP just frustrated I guess, that's why my suggestion is to go the M2M route.

yes. that's why I wrote "hinting"
TBH, you and I know what OP's intent was. The rest is just word play and innuendo
