Review of AMITW builds

I am late in writing this review of my builds with AMITW but wanted to see how watches hold up and review as an owner.

I ordered 4 watches after following his telegram page. His pictures looked amazing so I thought why not give it a try. Instead of going for a single build, I chose to dive deeper with 4 watch orders.

AMITW is a standup modder who takes pride in his work. I would definitely recommend folks to try him out.

Here is my build details:

  1. Panda Daytona

QF free sprung base, RB dial, Buff Hands, deep crystal, waterproof, rotor silence, gen polishing and chamfering, rehaut polish, SW bezel (which I later upgraded after the delivery with the correct 110 marker)

  1. AP26240

OCTA free sprung, deep crystal, DP dial/datewheel, waterproof, rotor silence, gen polishing and chamfering, WG Plated bezel screws

  1. JM Blue Daytona

QF free sprung base weighted 213g, RB dial, Buff Hands, deep crystal, waterproof, rotor silence, gen polishing and chamfering, rehaut polish, RB bezel and the whole watch 18K WG plated

  1. DD40 Blue Ombre

RCF weighted base, deep crystal, datewheel alignment, waterproof, rotor silence, gen polishing and chamfering, rehaut polish and the whole watch 18K WG plated

Check out pictures.

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with his service and would definitely recommend him as a trusted modder.

Pros: top notch communication, workmanship is awesome and WG plating is probably the best I have witnessed so far and honors timeline

Cons: prices are higher compared to other modders which I am sure he will be addressing to stay competitive

DDGTOP: Absolute Legend

I can't say enough good things about Felix. Dude is a super start to rep watches. I have dealt with 5 different TDs but Felix is the best so far. Why?

Communication 9/10

Prices 10/10

Service 10/10

Honesty 10/10

Packaging 10/10

Shipping 9/10

Add on services 10/10

None of the other TDs I worked with scored greater than 8 in any of these categories. Additionally, he is patient and works with you if you don't agree on QC issues unlike others who shove items your way or cancel your order.

I ordered 8 watches in 2 different batches. They both arrived safely and as promised. I chose to get Felix's amazing add on services for all my watches which made an immense difference compared to stock pieces I have seen from my fellow rep buddies. I chose a full case and bracelet chamfer/polish and brushing. He added rotor silencing as a gift due to my large order.

Check pictures and judge yourself. Highly recommend DDGTOP. He's my go to and love working with him.

Mixed Review / Warning: Serena (TS) – Defective Item & Poor After-Sales Support

​

This review covers both the positives and negatives of my recent

$2K USD order with Serena (bags, watch box, sunglasses, accessories).

The Pros:

Initial Communication: Responsive and helpful upfront, which led me to choose her over my usual sellers.

Partial Refund: Quickly refunded the wrong sunglasses after I returned them (following moderator involvement).

The Cons & Issues:

Defective $400 Watch Box: After an initial unit failed QC, Serena sent a second QC claiming the locks worked. I had the order shipped to my hotel in China before my flight. Upon delivery, the lock did not work at all. When I sent a video demonstrating the issue, she brushed off responsibility, sending a generic factory video and claiming "it worked when checked." No resolution or refund was offered for a completely non-functional $400 item except sending it back for a refund without sending a replacement. I needed the box to take my watches with me so I was left with no obvious or workable solution.

Wrong Item Sent: Sent the wrong sunglasses and explicitly admitted she didn't check the shipment before sending.

Subpar Resolution: Only refunded the exact value for the returned sunglasses—and only after I logged a complaint with the mods. No compensation, partial discount, or replacement was offered for the defective watch box and the inconvenience.

Conclusion:

While she started off strong, her lack of quality control prior to shipping and unwillingness to stand behind defective expensive items ruined the experience. I ended up with a broken $400 box and a lot of wasted time. I will not be dealing with her again and strongly recommend others exercise caution.

Met the legend Li Chen in person!

I got very lucky that I got to meet Master Li Chen during my recent trip to China. I feel honored and lucky that he was able to make time to meet me, show me around, educate on his processes, buy me dinner and most importantly take care of my repairs, and agree on several custom builds. I think I went crazy with all the options he showed but we agreed on 8 builds for now hahahah.

Li Chen is an extremely humble, dedicated to his trade and really a trustworthy individual. I promised to come see him again but in HK for my next trip to Asia. He is someone I can consider a long term friend or at least that's how I felt during my entire time with him. Patient, kind, respectful and overall an upright person.

I am super excited for all my custom and franken builds. I will be doing a thorough review of each build to show his excellent skills. I expect my watches to start arriving in batches from end of July so hang tight!

I will definitely recommend him as a top choice modder but if you are on a fence, wait till you see my builds. He promised to make sure they are top notch and I believe that.

Thank you Li Chen! Looking forward to our continued relationship.

QC help: LV Neverfull and Dior Saddlebag

Item: LV Neverfull and Dior Saddlebag

Seller: Serena

Price: $276 (LV God Factory) and $122 (Dior XT Factory)

Overall: I feel they look good but I am not an expert so hoping you folks can share some insights. I can see the LV label showing L and O which look a bit off but not sure if this is standard.

Thank you for your help.

LV Christopher Backpack QC Help

Photos: see attached

Item: LV Christopher Backpack

Seller: Serena (TS on this forum)

Cost: $276 plus shipping

Factory: Royal Factory apparently

Concerns / Things to Check: looks ok to me but I don't know if I can judge the quality. I requested top quality. Color looks a bit dull and stitching compared to original may not be high end.

My Thoughts:

This is my first purchase from Serena. I would greatly appreciate it if I can get second set of eyes. This is from Royal Fact

Thanks
