Second thoughts after paying Perfect Clones

First post after a long time reading. I ordered a 126234 from Perfect Clones at the start of June, paid Josh by card and agreed a total in the EUR 360 to 410 band. Then I spent three evenings reading fault threads and convinced myself that every photograph I had ever liked was hiding a crooked dial. This is entirely my own excellent system for making a purchase unpleasant.

Payment was on 2 June and QC arrived on the 7th. I had not approved anything when I asked whether I could cancel. Josh replied the next day, asked whether there was a particular problem and said he could cancel the order at that stage. I confirmed that I wanted to stop rather than substitute another watch. He confirmed the refund on the 10th and it appeared on my card account on the 16th.

So my outcome is no watch and my payment returned. I am posting because most reports concern successful deliveries or an argument, whereas this was a fairly calm change of mind. I cannot say what would happen after approval or dispatch because I did not reach either point. I also do not think the dealer owes me endless photographs while I work out whether I want to own a replica at all. For now I am back to reading, with considerably less money at risk and perhaps a little more sense than I had at the beginning of the month.

I recognise the three evenings of fault threads. After my first purchase I could spot imaginary problems on watches across a restaurant. Getting your money back before dispatch sounds like a sensible ending if you were no longer comfortable. I would take a break from comparison photographs before deciding whether to start again.

I am card payments or nothing, so the dates of the actual credit are useful to me. A refund being agreed and a refund appearing are two separate stages. Yours seems straightforward. Keep the cancellation email anyway, then stop refreshing the account now that the money is there. That part is finished.
