MY Order - "live timeline"

[Ahab2000]

I ordered a "Daytona 116500 Clean Factory 1:1 Best Edition 904L SS Case and Bracelet White Dial SA4130".
For those who are interested, here is the daily progress and my feelings about it.

17.08.22 - I "accidentally" saw videos of "Super Clones" on Youtube. I was hooked and decided to replace my 120€ Turkey Bazaar replica. Even though I was satisfied with it until now, the chronograph function doesn't work, the indices are totally crooked and there are sharp edges everywhere - that bothered me a lot after watching the expert videos.

17.08.22 - I found this forum via google, registered, asked a few stupid beginner questions and found JTime as "my preferred partner".

18.08.22 - I watched many Youtube videos and comparison reports (Noob <-> CF <-> BTF).

19.08.22 - I chatted with Li via WhatsApp. He was very friendly and helpful. I placed an order on his shop page. But I didn't pay right away. This was also because neither my credit card provider (Amazon) nor my bank (Targo) allowed money transfer to China -> "for my own protection".

20.08.22 - My wife declared me crazy. So I really want to transfer 885€ (incl. fees) to a Chinese person I don't know at all, without the slightest possibility of seeing my money again? All this only via the usual scamer payment functions (Bitcoin, westernunion, PP FF)?

21.08.22 - My brain is rattling, the whole thing doesn't really let me sleep.

22.08.22 - Li very patiently answers a lot of my beginner nerve questions. Very patient.

22.08.22 - I come to the point of not listening to my voice of rationality (my wife) and risking the money. Inwardly, the money has already been written off, in the worst case as teaching money. I pay Le and he sends me a "Received". Among other things, I was told to wait patiently for my QC photos for 5-10 working days.

23.08.22 - Nothing happens.

24.08.22 - Nothing happens.

24.08.22 - So that my report here does not become boring - here is a picture of my pride and joy so far. Stupid YouTube videos and the forum here, however, have ruined it for me. Things I didn't see before now bother me a lot.

Please check your spam folder, as it's possible that the QC pictures land in there.

You picked a great dealer, somebody who many many members on this site use and can vouch for.
Ignore the horror stories. Li and his team are very helpful and open with responses and will not tell you anything that is untruthful.

8:00PM : I watched a few YouTube videos of Capybaras... they seem like fun animals
8:15 : I whatsapped a friend of mine back east and discussed the weather
8:17 : Drank quite a bit of water so I had a need to urinate
8:30 : I'm getting sleepy and might hit the sack soon
8:50 : Finished watching some YouTube videos on EV's and I'm ready for bed

I will keep everyone posted LIVE on my activities tonight

OK - understand - I will stop writing. Sometimes things in reality are not as interesting as you (I) thought.

This thread is actually useful as I am planning on buying a VSF sub from JTime. Good to know what the process flow is for a new rep buyer

25.08.22 - Still nothing happens. It looks like I'm not one of the lucky ones for whom it goes exceptionally quickly -> see reports from other people here in the forum. I haven't received any QC pictures yet. So far there is nothing in the SPAM mailbox either. I guess I have to stay patient, they said 5-10 working days. As a precaution, I put the email addresses I was given on the white list in GMX today.

[Ahab2000]

Where is this pic from ?

This is the watch you've ordered ?

 

[Ahab2000]

No - this is my 120€ turkey market watch. Which I liked so much and which I enjoyed wearing. Until I found this forum and YouTube videos that showed me how terrible my watch is. They made my watch very bad for me, that made me dissatisfied. That's why I had to buy a new - more expensive (880€) - and hopefully better watch from JTime.

 

[ForexKid]

Good thread, It's good for us New members to watch and follow along.

I get a feeling that any post a new member puts up (post that I and other members seem to find interesting) some old timer ridicules it, iv seen it a few times now.
Not every post can be about how the purchase of your 10th rep has just solved global warming.

 

[Ahab2000]

Yes, the old timers can be very introverted about things that don't suit their tastes. Unfortunately.

Nonsense. Read the forum and you will see dozens of threads that are active each day where people share information on watches, issues they may have as well as upcoming releases. If all of us posted updates of every transaction we make it would be a forum full of useless information. What redeeming value does a "live timeline" of my activities provide this forum ? Nothing. I'm sure TD's like JTime would much more appreciate a thread made reviewing the transaction with them once it's complete. That provides valuable information as to current timelines for shipping etc.

I was thinking the same thing and agree with BMW. I have been in the watch game for 25+ years but only on this site for 6 months. Reps/Gens/etc. I have ordered 25+ watches from TDs and sold 40+ items in 6 months, and I don't think anyone cares about timelines, sorry lol.

I think the problem with most new people is they don't read and want to be babysat with hand holding through the entire process... What should I buy? What is the Best? How do I buy it? There are literally thousands of posts to help new people if they just stop begging for info and just read for a month before buying something. Nothing worse than a person with 2 posts asking for the best Daytona. Clean and BTF trade punches on a monthly basis, so unless you are actually reading the threads to know that you wouldn't know who is on top. We are all grown up here. You just need to read and have patience.

With that being said, I am glad you had a great experience with Li and Lana as they are some of the best in the biz. So do your part and leave them a great review as that adds value for others.
