My Sea Dweller 43 just arrived yesterday from CTime.
Inital contact: evening US time sept 11th
Reponded morning of sept 12...super cleatr on what to expect, costs,payment method and shipping
Payment Sept 12th (i used wise)
QC pics Sept 13th
One item checked and re photo'd by sept 16th
Shipped Sept 19th (tracking provided)
Arrived Sept 29th.
The watch is absolutely gorgeous. Packed really well. I am no expert but I have geeked out as much as possible in preparation of taking the plunge, and I cant spot anything of concern. The watch compares really well with my variety of ETA and Japanese based automatics.
Note that ( as clearly outlined in the excellent FAQson here), shipping is not like in the US. The tracking number in my case was a USPS one, waiting in California for a week or so, when the package hits the US that tracking number then wakes up, and the package arrived very suddely from that point. My point is, if you're doing this for the first time, expect this..and read the excellent details available in the FAQ section here.
Very happy with the experience overall, Ctime were really pleasant to deal with. I would absolutely recommend.
I also want to say thank you to those who maintain this resource. I am 100% certain this little experiment would have been quite different without the knowledge encoded here. And I apologize again for and prior silly questions!
