Good morning, here's an overview so far of my recent purchase from puretimewatch:

18JAN2023 - Placed order on website with CNY and crypto discount. Total came out to be about the original price of the watch before shipping (woo).
21JAN2023 - Received crypto payment request information
29JAN2023 - Sent payment (had 7 day hold on my crypto holdings)
30JAN2023 - Received confirmation of payment
31JAN2023 - Received first set of QC pictures. The watch was one of the worst examples of a ZF SMP that I have ever seen, unfortunately. Red-lit watch, requested another.
13FEB2023 - Requested status update on new watch offering
14FEB2023 - Received email from puretime with no updates or ETA on my order, but asking if I would like a black/blue SMP instead. Declined, but said I may consider an all-black ZF as well.

So far this has taken much longer than I anticipated, even having placed my order at the tail end of CNY. That's the nature of the business, though. I do wish I had an idea of how long it would take to get a second watch for qc as we close in on a month of wait time. Will update as the order process continues.

So this is what I'm taking about.
After sending the payment, after giving a GL to QC... for almost a month of wait, this TD will say it is out of stock!!!
What?!?
Incredibly fascinating!!! 😝

Maker sometimes give us wrong stock check with some specific watch. Sometimes due to time constraints, when the order is placed, the few stock watch from maker is already out of stock.

I understand. I will gladly wait in order to get a nicer watch.

Update: The 1-2 week window that the TD gave as an estimate for how long I would need to wait for a new watch will hit the 2 week mark in the morning. Other dealers claim to have this watch in stock and ready to ship, so I sent a follow-up email asking for information.

I’m eager to see what they respond to you since I ordered a blue and nothing yet since Tuesday last week.

Crossing fingers!
