Order #: 100288112
Order placed: Oct 8, 2024. Confirmed with Sales availability before placing order, using WISE
Payment confirmed: Oct 16

At first, claimed QC ready in 2-3 weeks. Then at one time, mentioned QC will be sent by Nov 25. Now it seems no estimated date.

Wonder if I am being unreasonable or maybe anyone knows CF 124270 needs particularly long waiting time? But seems another RWI TD thread mentioned ordered and got one within October... Maybe it's because the tradeoff of the lower price? Do have to mention Puretime's price is lower.

Any input from you guys will be appreciated! Cheers

Yes, working with the same email contacts here and they have been responding within 1 or 2 business days.

Just not sure if it's normal to wait this long for CF 124270

Methinks perhaps normal.

Six weeks from confirmation of payment isn't anything to be concerned about since you used the contact information from here and you will receive the watch. You just have to be patient with the whole process as it can be anywhere from 4 - 12 weeks from start to finish to receive it.

The factories make their watches in batches and you don't know how many of the same model the different dealers have ordered before your order made it to the factory.

You might want to send them an email to touch base and ask if they are expecting any watches from Clean Factory. You don't need to send two or three a day seven days straight.

Hope that helps calm you down a bit.

Thanks a lot for the input!

I am "anxious" because really look forward to my first rep order and if it goes well, I already have my next order in mind :)

CF has delayed delivery recently. Many models haven't been supplied, not only this one. We will be urging them . Please stay with us and wait in patience.

RECEIVED and HAPPY! Thank you all. Timeline completed below.

I am astonished at the CF quality and the replicating detail... Comparing to a Gen Explorer side by side, just can't tell the difference with naked eyes. The difference you saw from those online "Gen vs Rep" photos, they are really under macro lenses.

Particularly amazed by the hands and indices metal finish. Some of the other 1000usd Swiss Homage couldn't even reach the same level.

Only two things can reveal immediately. One is the "grind noise" of the rotor. (Gen has none). All non luxury movements, such as SW200, all have the same little "noise". The other is the clasp clicks differently, which I saw other people mentioned it too.

So in summary, today's rep can be so good.
