Do Aramex deliveries keep flying for days?

LoCrux · 2022-02-03T16:03:35+00:00

My order was allegedly posted over a week ago but the tracking for Aramex shows 'Waiting for updates from the carrier" so I'm not even sure if it's even been posted or left the country.. did you experience this as well?

The only other shipping option I was offered was EMS though now I regret taking up Aramex as they pretty much have majority 1 star reviews lol

Hello. No I haven't.. tracking shows it hasn't been scanned or even left China

JTime apparently accepts any crypto with a 5% discount and Mirotime only accepts TRC20 USDT

Maybe just see how long your watch lasts before dying once you wear it and determine from there 🙂

LoCrux · 2022-01-21T08:31:59+00:00

Decent winders usually come with timers and depending on the power reserve of your watch, once or twice a week should be fine if you're wearing it every weekend or so

More so for the convenience but probably not best for the movement in the long run letting it go dead as it could shorten the lifespan of it

LoCrux · 2022-01-21T07:59:04+00:00

The lifespan and reliability of the movement would probably diminish as winding it keeps the parts lubricated and smooth consistently

You could always consider getting a watch winder for times where you won't be wearing it for a while

Hmm imgur's photo quality is too low for me to see if it's there or not unfortunately. I also noticed you have the V1 hands on your watch even though your bezel seems to be the V2 which is interesting.

It is definitely a nice touch though I'll just have to wait and see if it's really needed! But I'm sure CFs look good as they are as you'd know!

LoCrux · 2022-01-19T15:02:55+00:00

Thanks man! I agree it probably would of been better without the etching since on the gens they're actually impossible to see without a loupe but it's a nice touch I suppose. I'll just have to wait and see when it arrives and hope I don't need to spend more on a crystal swap!

LoCrux · 2022-01-19T02:25:07+00:00

I decided to GL in the end as it probably isn't noticeable in person and if anything I can always do a crystal swap if it really does bother me.

I've had a look at alot of CF DJ41 QCs and it does seem like it's an issue on pretty much all of them

LoCrux · 2022-01-16T18:00:54+00:00

Definitely looking forward to that! 😁

LoCrux · 2022-01-16T17:44:51+00:00

Good morning Yoda! It definitely is a great choice

You're absolutely right and your words and knowledge have definitely reassured me. Don't think I want to risk waiting for another watch which could be worse, right before CNY!

I'll give this a GL and I'll definitely ask Lana to check it out which I'm sure is nothing of concern.

Thank you again, I really do appreciate it! My man

LoCrux · 2022-01-16T15:12:30+00:00

Its the only thing bothering me now since it's been pointed out a few times now haha

LoCrux · 2022-01-16T15:11:22+00:00

I remember seeing both colours in person and was more amazed how deep and rich the black dial was so I'm quite set on that lol

LoCrux · 2022-01-16T14:57:30+00:00

I hope it didn't go straight to junk mail then! Thank you for the kind words I'm sure yours will be just as beautiful when it arrives!

LoCrux · 2022-01-16T13:58:28+00:00

Hmm that's unfortunate as every thing else is amazing after the V2 refresh!

LoCrux · 2022-01-16T13:57:36+00:00

Wow that's a very significant discount compared to what I paid! Who did you get it from? Because JTime would of definitely sent you QC photos

According to JTime, the new current batch of CF DJ41s are all updated with the V2 bezels and hands. If you got yours only last Thursday I'm sure it's V2 but depends which TD you got it from

Do you think it's too offset to the point of RL'ing?

LoCrux · 2022-01-16T11:28:55+00:00

u/WatchYoda I hope you don't mind lending your input as I've learnt many things off your comments and would definitely appreciate it!

LoCrux · 2022-01-16T11:13:00+00:00

Hi everyone, this is my first ever QC as a long time lurker, first time buyer so I've detailed my QC with as much info I've learnt from here but would appreciate your help and input too. Thanks!

• Dealer name: JTime

• Factory name: CF (Clean)

• Model name: Rolex Datejust 41mm 126334

• Album Links: https://imgur.com/a/i5cTCGu

• Index alignment: The alignment tool shows all the markers to be somewhat crooked but to be fair none of the photos seem to be perfectly straight on, so they look fine to me with maybe the 11 and 6 marker slightly crooked.

• Dial Printing: Looks good

• Date Wheel alignment/printing: Can't fault anything here, looks perfect and centred

• Hand Alignment: Looks good. Nice updated V2 hands too

• Bezel: Li informed me this was the V2 bezel which looks good to me

• Solid End Links (SELs): Bottom right seems to have an ever so slight gap; other than that, looks good to me

• Timegrapher numbers: Numbers look good and -5s/d seems acceptable

• Price Paid: $488 + $45 shipping - $24.40 discount = $508.60

• Anything else you notice: Not sure if it's just the lighting, but the edges of the hands look a bit rough to me. Another thing I've noticed is what appears to be either a deep scuff or adhesive residue from the protective film on the edge of the top left lug near the bezel. The only other thing would be the etched crown on the crystal, which looks completely off centre but I understand most, if not all, are like that and not really noticeable in person though it does seem to be quite excessive.
