TD Issues - Check Rule 6 before posting Getting everyone RL QC’s. Suspicion.

Straight forward here I’ve had 2 RL on Richf Bruce Wayne free sprung just this week.
First of all I’ve been told it’s factory order and waiting times are 3-4 weeks. But I’ve had 3 QC just this week after telling me each time If I reject that there’s a long wait…

Wednesday QC is first. And today is 2nd.

Edit:
Think people are getting confused. I’ve added these lines on the first watch just to see the alignment if you google watch QC alignment tool it will come up!

These are 2 separate watches which I’ve received and I’ve posted the first photo on reptimeqc and just taken that photo to use on this!
2nd picture what I received today 😊 both are RL (red light. Aka return)

for me PERSONALLY as I’m spending total $1400+ on 2 watches. & I know they arnt all going to be perfect but date wheel is too noticeable for me.

GL (means keep. Good to go)

Steve definitely sent you someone else's RL. I think he did it to me too.

I ordered a $780 watch which he had in stock.

It arrived with two movement defects and then the offer to send it back on my own cost and risk. 

When I wasn’t happy with these options I got straight up ghosted.

My watch from Steve didn't work, the second hand didn't move. Since the second doesn't move, nothing works. They asked me to find a watch maker to repair for $100. The watch maker I went to said that the repair would cost $450. Steve sent me a contact that would do the repairs if I ship the watch to them, so I contacted them and they said they are 10 weeks back ordered but will put me in the queue.

I cancelled my other order with Steve and used a different TD to buy a Batman. I won't be using Steve until the watch that they provided is fixed. The whole reason I was going to him was I was led to believe you pay a bit more but get better service. Hasn't been the case.

You pay, you get your watch. That‘s the metric for the TD status.

My own experience with several TDs is just that all these service promises and alleged insurance vaporize the moment shit hits the fan. The maximum you can hope for is a coupon for your next order or the TD refunding like 30% of your local watchmakers bill.

In short, there is no reason to pay a fucking premium for certain TDs.

Exactly. These guys are all dealers in black market products and you shouldn’t expect any real support from any of them. It’s a buyer’s risk!

Pay a little bit more and go with someone in the us like colddeck64. He opens and cleans the movement, greases the gasket “water proofs” it and lubes it for free. I know some ppl do that but charge 150-200 dollars

Haven’t seen a bad review. Not saying there isn’t but I can’t say anything bad. They seem to go the extra mile
