Update:
So just to follow on from this thread. I have managed to get my hands on the watch I ordered today. During the time I placed this order till today I have somehow managed to buy a total of 6 watches from Li
. Not sure how though must be Li’s charms?
Below is the time line of the whole process and how I managed to order 5 other watches.
Starting from when I ordered my very first watch the flood gates opened:
14/03: Placed the first order AP Royal Oak offshore
15/03: Asked Li about the PP Nautilus.
16/03: Placed the order for the Nautilus. Li mentioned if I wanted to ship it together with my AP would be cheaper so I said yes.
19/03: QC pictures arrived in my Junk mailbox. I didn’t see it until a whole week had pasted FML.
27/03: Finally realised Lana’s email in my junk mail.
28/03: Gave the green light on both watches. Lana immediately confirmed postal address.
30/03: Lana sent email confirming she has posted the watches together with photos of the packaged watches.
30/03: Messaged Li about 2 Rolexes (Daytona and GMT Master II). He gave me a discounted price and I told him I will wait until I got the other two watches from the first order before I pull the trigger. Li was not pushy as all and told me to take my time before committing.
04/04: Decided I could not wait and pulled the trigger on the 2 Rolexes lol. Paid via BTC again.
10/04: QC arrived on the Daytona still waiting for the GMT Master.
11/04: Messaged Li asking about a Rolex date just for the missus and the VC Overseas Tourbillon. Gave me an all in discounted price. Told him I will look a the watches that arrived today from my first order before I pull the trigger. Again he was like no rush take your time.
11/04: Exciting times. My first 2 watches arrived and I unboxed them. They were superbly packaged with stickers all over them couldn’t be more happy. Pictures to follow. I messaged Li and sent him the photos and placed my third 2 x watch order.
The whole process has been extremely efficient and I cannot recommend LI and Lana enough they know their stuff and have been doing it for years.
Will keep you all posted with regards to my second and third orders.
