Mo Time review - 5 watches in a week
Well, it´s like they say: if you buy one watch with Moe, you will be in trouble soon. You will want to buy more.
That´s what I did. Needed 5 watches in a short period of time, and Moe helped me.
I am kind of used to chinese TD, most of them are nice and good enough for the job. But Moe clearly belongs to another league. You don´t expect more than a few hours for a Whatsapp message, the QC arrives in a couple of days and the whole process is done in a week. This can´t be compared to chinese dealers, I waited a specific watch for 4 months ( and lost in on customs). Of course it is a little pricier than the chinese TD, but in my opinion it is completely worthy.
I ordered, approved, paid and received 5 watches in less than 2 weeks. Everything went fine, and I will certainly buy more.
Room for improvement? Sure. I´ve got few photos to properly do the QC, and no video. But if he works alone ( I am not sure) it might be hard to take 20 pictures. But I will ask for more on my next purchases.
Let`s talk about the watches:
VSF Omega Acquaterra Turquoise, in my opinion the best aquisition. Great looking, very well in the timegraph, nice rubber strap. The lume is very weak tho.
Cartier Tank AF, a nice watch, good looking, no complains. The strap is average, but replicas usually are not strong on leather straps
Cartier Panthere AF, also much better in hand than in picture. I can´t close its clasp yet, but read that it is a common issue on gen as well, I will have to learn how the clasp works.
ZF/PPF Vacheron Overseas - the watch is beautiful in my opinion, and it is a shame that PPF doesn´t apply a good quality control here. I simply could not use the quick release system on the steel bracelet ( the bracelet is ok at best, BTW), something was jammed. I had to use tools to remove some springs, links and then change the steel bracelet to a rubber strap, and the watch is looking much better. The springs removed were very dirty. Will work on the bracelet before switching again. Almost no lume too.
ARF Rolex Datejust - well, this watch was my disappointment. The steel bracelet looks cheap, it is way to light and flimsy. It was my first ARF, and I am not sure if I will buy a second. I winded the watch and it didn´t worked until I shaked a few times. A really bad start, but after 4 days I am beggining to see some qualities. I have a Clean and a VSF Rolexes, and this one is clearly below.
So my final review is a B+ or a A-. I strongly recommend Moe, it is the best TD I´ve met. However, I suggest that you don´t be carried away by the excitement, and make a proper quality control before buying it, as quality can change a lot depending on the factory you choose.
