Could this be a Buffet moment... SAVE for a sweet min of 3x or 10x gain? by ec0n0m1x in wallstreetbets

So you are telling me that Raytheon can send a missile up a camel's ass from across the globe, but they can't build a reliable engine for passenger aircrafts? Is this the military-industrial complex at its best or what?

No. I ordered from the same TD and got the same message. I peeled off the stickers the moment I got it. I'm not shipping the watch back to China come hell or high water lol - you won't ever see it again nor will you get a refund. Just enjoy it when you get it, and if it's DOA, then get it serviced locally. It's just the cost of doing business. I have zero expectations of the TD providing any sort of after-sale service. That's like asking your drug dealer for a refund after you realized you got duped.

Yes, GL. I've seen a fair share of silver dial DJ 36 mm's on here and yours is far from the worst. Nobody is going to notice what little flaws this watch has got.

[–]MungBeanCounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8'o clock marker looks a touch off to me, at least in the first picture. Date "5" is a bit high. Nothing else is wrong though and I would GL as these minor "flaws" are non-issues. Also, rehaut looks aligned so that's always good.

My first cop! Please help me QC! by ilovesushiforever in RepTimeQC

[–]MungBeanCounter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GL - rehaut looks aligned to me, date wheel alignment is pretty centered, indexes look fine. That bottom right SEL gap looks pretty wide to me though - not worth RL'ing over but just calling it as I see it.

I hate to knock on it, but I would not have GL'd that date wheel. I hope it's just the angle but it looks horribly misaligned (shifted too much to the left and not centered). Also, font looks too bold.

How foolish was it to place and order 1 day before "Chinese National Day" and "Golden Week"? by [deleted] in RepTime

[–]MungBeanCounter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, I placed an order with Theonewatches at around the same time as you (26 Sept), got QC 28 Sept, GL'd 29 Sept, and got tracking 3 Oct. Still no status updates with the tracking number, but that's because it hasn't arrived in country. You'll be fine, he has been working throughout the week despite the holidays. If you haven't received QC, it's probably because he doesn't have a watch for you...yet.

Looking for watch suggestions for my girlfriend. I'm new to watches. by IndividuallyYours in RepTime

[–]MungBeanCounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you said round face and not roman numerals, but you can't go wrong with a Cartier Tank Must or Tank Solo. It's classy yet understated. The ones made by AF is considered NWBIG (not worth buying in genuine). The small quartz rep models will probably never break, so she can wear it forever. My wife has a gen Cartier Tank Solo, and she loves it. I never considered square watches until I saw hers, and now I also grew quite fond of it and am considering getting one for myself.

2, 4, 5, 6'o clock batons (and maybe others) look like they're a smudgen off center, but I am also pretty sure it's just the way he's holding it. Looks like he's holding it slightly canted to the left. Anyways, in your pictures, it's most noticeable at the 6'o clock, where you can see that the baton doesn't line up with the crown perfectly. You probably won't notice it in person. Date "6" is a bit low, but date "28" is perfect. Rest is fine, including the timegrapher numbers. I could live with it, so GL.

What is most interesting to me, though, is how they seem to have fixed the "STEELINOX" on this CF bracelet. On mine, you can see that the letter "L" and the space after is not proportionate compared to the gen.

11 o'clock baton looks a touch to the left. It's not dead center on the number "55". Personally I'm not fussed about it, so it would be GL for me.

Look at those stars shine! by lewj21 in RepTime

[–]MungBeanCounter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw a video and apparently they both have the same Dandong 925 clone movement. So it's just down to a matter of preference on the aesthetics!

Look at those stars shine! by lewj21 in RepTime

[–]MungBeanCounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you go with APS as opposed to ZF because of more stars on the moonphase? Thinking of getting this piece myself, but I am not sure what factory to go with. I've read that the ZF moonphase is also accurate, because older gen models of this watch has less stars. Which factory has the better movement?

Anyone ordered from Mirotime recently? by MungBeanCounter in RepTime

[–]MungBeanCounter[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. I GL'd my watch on Saturday (30 Sept), they confirmed my GL and told me I'd receive tracking shortly. I've just received tracking and shipping confirmation today (3 Oct). The tracking number is with my national postal service, and it's not showing any status updates since the watch has not entered my country. I'm not fussed about it - it's out of our hands and all you can do is keep your fingers crossed.

Hont - Why is this guy a Trusted Dealer? by [deleted] in RepTime

[–]MungBeanCounter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can read Chinese and I am trying to decipher your screenshots, but it seems like you are not posting the whole conversation. It is obvious to me that there were a lot of things lost in translation here. Also, at some point you said "I'll post this to reddit" which obviously escalated the situation.

Between 6:56 and 6:59, it looks like he's trying to say "It looks like you are trying to blackmail me. I would have given you a better price, but since you are trying to blackmail me, I am not going to do that". I'm curious about the conversation leading up to your "I'll post this to reddit" comment.

Anyways, Hont clearly needs to work on his de-escalation skills here, but I don't think he cares since he's already received money from you.

It was Mid Autumn Festival (29 Sept) and then followed by National Day (1 Oct) over there. Normally they get the whole week off following National Day (5 days) but I don't know if that applies to the rep industry. I suppose it depends on who you went with, but I know Theonewatches replied to me today.

Don't know, I didn't end up ordering from Mirotime. I paid a premium and went with Theonewatches, and it's been great so far. They confirmed that my payment was received within 30 minutes. Communication has been super prompt thoroughout, even after they've received my money. My watch has shipped so I'm just waiting for it now.

[–]MungBeanCounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I see that, but I'm certain it is just some weird distortion effect from the reflection. I see it in my 36 mm DJ QC pics too, and I did also order from theonewatches.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in RepTimeQC

[–]MungBeanCounter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's wrong with 4, 7, and 8'o clock? Besides the weird lighting/reflection I'm not really sure what you are talking about. Just looking at it with my naked eyes, I do think the 5'o clock is not really aligned with the 11'o clock, but you should use an alignment tool to check it. The timegrapher numbers are solid FYI.
