Order # 100274226
Order Date 8/19/23 and payment confirmed the next day
Ordered item:

DAYTONA 116520 CLEAN 1:1 BEST EDITION 904L SS CASE AND BRACELET WHITE DIAL SA4130 V2​

1. after about 4 weeks of wait, I was told that the QC was delayed because you received the wrong watch
2. After waiting for another 6 weeks, I was told that Clean factory Daytona is not available for now
3. Had to change to QF 116520, got a QC for 116520 with wrong bezel markings. and had to wait again, but after almost 4 weeks still not available.
4. I was told 116500 is still available from other factories (QF and clean still not available)
5. Order changed to 116500 white from ZF, and next day Got a QC for 2023 version of 126500 from ZF (wrong watch)
6. Now I need to wait for 116500-white from ZF to come (as of Dec 4 , 2023)

Many of my past transactions with puretime never had such trouble.
This has been almost 4months of back and forth, for a watch that is likely available now from ZF (116500 white)
I understand CF daytonas are not available, but would have been nice if I was told what is available, so I could have made the next best choice earlier.
I still have my full confidence and trust that puretime will deliver again this time.
However, could you please clarify if my order this time for 116500 - white from ZF will go through?

Thank you!

(12/8/23) Received QC, however I had to reject the QC due to 6'oclock hour marking being not centered correctly.
I've attached the picture



(12/9/23) QC replied " Well received, we will double check and let you know shortly"

It might be the angle of the photo. Sorta hard to tell.

This shot is from straight top. Look again, It is not the angle. Look at the bottom where it meets the center where it says ‘swiss made’ the hour marking is shifted to the right.

They don't bother with that. We just get a day by day update of when they scratch their ass. Of course the complaints are always documented.
And it's always the same pattern. Whenever I see a thread title like this, I look at the join date and post number. Usually joined just recently (usually the same month or month -1) and <10 posts. And of course no forum subscriber.

With these indicators, you know immediately that you can't take the content seriously.

If we double check it's crooked, we will replace another. Don't worry. Just email us if there are any questions for QC pics.

That's the way small minded noobs take care of things now
Ridiculous - is this meant to be some sort of a "reverse psychology" or "name and shame" thing ? Makes you wonder if they realise the bigger game they are playing .

Reddit bitches about RWI and yaps all the time about how we're some big cartel conspiracy that oppresses non TDs to keep prices high and that TDs pay us money,

Yet they always run to RWI to complain and bitch and treat RWI like some kind of help desk or free encyclopedia for their legit checks.

Look at the type of member that posts this thread. Always new member, always under 25 posts, and guarantee won't contribute anything to RWI until their order goes wrong.

It's basically their way of threatening dealers "look, i made my order public, so you better give me the best service and a perfect watch or the whole world can watch me shame you!"
