bamcky2k Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 i am patient buddy, like i said im not fussed on qc pics as all ive bought from josh has been top notch-this is the first time ive never had a qc pic before he has shipped...(well not counting back a few years ago when i never had qc pics lol). maybe hes catching up on a back log of orders and fore-going the qc pic process? i dunno! was cool to check the tracking info just incase he had sent it without qc pics and to know itl now arrive tomorrow i was just wondering if anybody else had ordered from pc in say the past 4 weeks, not had any qc pics and just had the watches sent?

Watchmeister Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 As you probably know Josh sends you a tracking # as soon as you order. That doesn't mean he shipped it. If you think about it QC pics are also an inventory control tool. I would guess he hasn't received your watch from the factory (I.e. doesn't have one in inventory) and so you will get the QC pics when he has a watch to ship you.

Watchmeister Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Interesting. You are the first person I have heard this happening too. I was under the impression that they normally sent QC pics to everyone. My fingers are crossed for you as it sounds like you may be facing a drop ship situation.

My fingers are crossed for you as it sounds like you may be facing a drop ship situation. this did enter my mind too as it goes...for the fact that shipping happend so quick after ordering...would josh do this though? or is he putting the odd order through this way to keep up with demand...tomorrow shall reveal all!

bamcky2k Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 just read this in the reviews section http://www.rwg.cc/to...-rep-from-josh/ maybe josh sent mine to a different email address connected to my account...although i didnt use paypal...will just have to wait and see!

duke1973 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 My last order from Josh was Jan 12th (before CNY) And I didn't receive QC pics either. I ordered and received an email with my tracking number that said I would receive QC pics in 2 to 3 days. 4 days passed and I never got them so I did exactly what the OP did and checked my tracking to find out that the watch was sitting in customs. 3 days later the watch was on my wrist. I chalked it up to CNY and the fact that they had to rush to get it out of the country before the shutdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 So I guess the question is whether you have to request QC pics or it was just the CNY rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 As a precautionary measure.. i NEVER order a watch without requesting QC pics. I make sure tha tthe dealer knows that I expect QC pics beforehand.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woof* Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Josh won't send QC pics for watches under $200 That makes sense. I've always got the pics, but I've always ordered 2-3 watches and always over 200$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asf Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 That makes sense. I've always got the pics, but I've always ordered 2-3 watches and always over 200$ I remember going wtf no qc, then when I read his page it said I believe less than $200 = no qc photos. I remember that happening when I bought a BR-02 lite and BR heritage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Joshua or his team made an error and forgot the pics. The watch is on its way.. Personally I think the pics are a bit over rated! Main thing is...Your watch is on it's way, and it me that''s more important... MM << Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well gee Kruz,considering many likely get the same "QC" pics of watches they are buying and dont know that,and if the shipping address is not SG,then Josh really has not seen the watch,i wonder if the drop shipping theory could be true?! Bought around 50 watches from Josh,dont worry about "QC" bs you read about with these dealers,it is what it is and Josh is the leader of the pack as far as rep watch dealers go,you will be fine.

bamcky2k Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 i had qc pics for my $148 planet oceans from PC so dont think price is a factor, plus the watch arriving is $298...like i said im not that fussed on qc pics, im pretty sure ive had them in the past where the 1st and 2nd pics (of the shipping package and timing machine) were my watch, but the rest did not have my order number attached-and after some searching i found the very same pics on here and on the "example qc pics" on the web store... i suppose a good idea would be to have the option to request them-either wait 2 or 3 days to recieve pics, or forego the pics and have the packaged shipped quicker, if its a "wear from the box with no mods" then just have it shipped, if its for say a franken project and you want to check specific things then request the pics etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Fleischer Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I think most dealers occasionaly 'forget' to send the QC pix. It's happened to me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave- I know you think QC pics are worthless but I do find them to be useful and although I am not a particularly frequent flyer it has worked for me. I have opted to wait for a different watch twice in the recent past and felt what I got was an improvement over the first watch shown.
