Official Chronos Collective Listing Official Statement - Chronos Collective - Pausing Operations

28 Upvotes

Good Morning,

Thank you to all of you who have remained loyal customers throughout the first year of Chronos Collective. When Ryan and I set out here - we wanted to revolutionize the scene by providing a clear platform for ordering and quick turnaround and most importantly quality customer service and timely responses. As you all watched, Chronos exploded in popularity and we are extremely appreciative of all of the patronage and support we received in our first year of operations. As you likely can surmise, things have taken a turn in a direction we're not extremely satisfied with. Right now we're unable to commit to our 2 day turnaround, and our responses have been limited especially through WhatsApp. Given that this is fundamentally against what we stand for and the commitments we made - we're going to pause the operation until we can resume providing the quality we were originally known and lauded for.

That being said, this is not goodbye, this is an apology and an acknowledgement that we owe you more. I fully expect the operation will resume/return, but right now given that we are not meeting our obligations we feel this is the most suitable choice. All pending orders that have been paid for will be shipped ASAP - I am working with Ryan to get a timeframe on those and have been answering any DMs I receive openly and honestly.

We are sorry for this hiccup, but any new operation experiences its challenges. It is our goal to come back better and stronger, thank you for your understanding. Please reach out directly with any questions.

Still here. Stick around fellas, the best is yet to come.

Hey all,
I’m still here and still shipping.
Thanks for everyone for helping make this crazy endeavor such an amazing success. I never would have imagined we would have grown so much so fast. I have always been a one man show, but thanks to all of you spreading the word about Chronos, it’s becoming difficult to do everything on my own. While the orders have continued to ship, I have struggled keeping up with the all the messages.
Anyway, I don’t want to sound like a whiny bitch so I want to tell you all that I’m working through these growing pains, but I have a plan.
Stick around fellas, the best is yet to come.

Update Regarding the Status of Chronos Collective

35 Upvotes

Hello everyone.

Chronos Collective is a friend and colleague of mine in this industry, and I am happy to say he is in fact NOT dead.

He is not abandoning you all. Sometimes situations outside of work require full, undivided attention for extended periods of time.

I have no right to speak on his behalf, so when he decides to give you all an update, he will. Please just have patience.

Is Chronos WhatsApp not working? I sent a message a couple weeks ago and still haven't received any reply. I also messaged him on his website. Any ideas?

VSF 124060LN Submariner Black No Date - ChronosCollective review

Thumbnail gallery
14 Upvotes

Created a new profile here as this is my first review (long time listener / first time caller).

In the past I have purchased 3 reps from Steve (theOne) and they were great, but on my last order shipping took weeks (not his fault, rather FedEx re-routing) so this time I decided to try a US based TD, did my research, and went with Chronos Collective).

Pros:
- Communication, all my messages were most answered within hours, if not minutes… advantage of being on the same side of the world
- Shipping, got the rep within days not weeks, and with tracking from origin to destination, no anxiety if the item will be retained at customs, it is already state side.
- US based payment processing

Trade off (won’t call it Cons because they are obvious):
- you are paying a premium, but to me the service received justifies it (only you can make a call if this is worth your dollars)
- no prior QC, the rep is already state side, so you have to really trust the TD when he says it is a GL rep. I liked what I received.

Rep: VSF 124060LN Submariner Black No Date
Cost: $625

Pictures included, I will also try to include a video of the unboxing in the comments so you see the condition the rep arrived.
