I got trashed the last time I posted, so let me ask this plainly:

What do people here want to see as proof?

The issue is simple:

• I paid for a watch
• about 3 months ago I was told it could not be obtained
• I then expected a refund
• now I am being told it can be gotten
• I still have no watch
• I still have no refund

So before I post again, tell me what evidence people actually want to see so this does not just turn into more pile-on bullshit.

Do you want:

• payment receipt
• order confirmation
• emails/messages saying the watch could not be obtained
• emails/messages later saying it can now be obtained
• messages asking for refund
• messages showing no refund was sent
• full timeline screenshots

I am asking because last time people acted like I should just be believed or disbelieved based on vibe.

This time I am happy to post the receipts and timeline.
I just want to know what this sub considers enough proof for:

paid → could not get watch → 3 months pass → now says can get it → still no watch, still no refund

I want to share my experience with Andrew at TrustyTime so others know what they may be dealing with.

Months ago I ordered:

• Calatrava 5226G SS/LE C-Grey HKF MY9015 Mod (PP0467B)
• Calatrava 5296G SS/LE White/Blue ZF 1:1 MY9015 Mod (PP0312B)
• Master Ultra Thin Moonphase SS/LE Silver Z+F A925 (JL210B)

On the Master Ultra Thin Moonphase, I had asked for a specific version. The first one they had apparently did not even pass their own QC, so I had to wait for another.

They then had problems getting the 5296, so I requested a refund on that watch.

Eventually I received the two remaining watches. They were shipped from New Jersey, which surprised me. I had no idea Andrew had a U.S. location or stock point.

When the watches arrived, the quality was terrible. In my opinion, the overall look and feel were worse than DHgate-level watches.

The biggest joke was the 5226 strap: it broke while I was putting the watch on.

Then came the refund issue. I emailed about the refund and got a reply saying I had used the wrong email, that the address I used was only for QC, and that I needed to contact a different email. I then emailed that address and got a reply saying that address was for sales and that I should use the other one — the same QC email I had started with.

So I was sent in a circle.

At that point, there is really no meaningful recourse except posting publicly and warning others.

This was my experience:

• long delays
• QC issues
• item availability problems
• refund runaround
• very poor quality on arrival
• strap failure immediately out of the box

Posting this so others can factor it into their decision before sending money.
