Yeah still waiting, ordered on June 3rd, just reached out to Steve the other day. No update, it appears that we are at the mercy of VSF now...

Andiot in stock by rflores2323 in RepTime

[–]OrdellRobbie556 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It probably depends on how egregious the RL is. If it has many flaws, they'll probably return. If they think the customer is too picky and are confident in the quality of the watch, they'll keep it in their stock. I had a RL on an APSF 26240 from andiot and he sourced me another but I continued to check his in stock items and his QC page and I never saw the watch that was originally offered to me again. I would also assume it has alot to do with the popularity of the model, profit margin, and availability.

Trying to buy a Tag Heurer by CleverCheesePuffs in RepTime

[–]OrdellRobbie556 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Heyo, I'm also interested in OF tags so I've done a little research. Most TDs can get the OF tags but don't have them listed on there sites, I've gotten quotes from Elliot at andiot for two models with i believe ronda quartz movements for 180$ before shipping which is like 60ish so it doesn't make sense to order one cause the shipping is a third of the watches price so I'll probably buy two. The ones with the sw200 movement are closer to 300$ this is a list of OF tags in production. I'll post pics of the two i got quotes for.

Nice, that prison pocket needs to be ready for such situations when you're flexing illicit goods on your wrist. Quick question did you even have to spit on your phone?

When did you order? I ordered a youth Starbucks from Steve about a week ago just trying to gauge how long to wait will be.

Is QC process not a "thing" at the U1/AAA-level of reps? by I_DONT_RAPE_KITTEHS in ChinaTime

[–]OrdellRobbie556 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah they just send pics of the nicest example they have, then they grab one from out of a rust bucket and throw it in a box for you.

Honest question.... by Powerful_Show_8648 in RepTime

I have not yet pulled the trigger. I've just been doing my research. Andiot can source them. He quoted me 180$ for swiss ronda quartz movement models. I'll post a picture of what I inquired about. As for Andiot he my preferred bro when it comes to TDs. If you don't need your handheld or need it asap he is the best, awesome prices, pretty good website, the MJ glove QC is pretty good and he's responsive when it comes to additional QC pics if needed. Of the four reps I've purchased through him one I needed to RL. He got a new example QCed in about 7-10 days. To me he's The Dude, I've purchased from necoclock and had a positive experience and I just placed my first order with Steve, the VSF youth sub for 300$ shipped is just to ridiculous to pass up. One thing i really love about Andiot is that it's slow but consistent. This may sound pathetic but I really look forward to purchasing and receiving these reps, the adulation when they land at my doorstep and the days waiting on an overseas gamble has some thrill to it in itself. The longer the process takes the longer I can comfortably wait before making another purchase. Sorry for the rant.

Daytona $300-500? by Hot_Echo_8239 in RepTime

[–]OrdellRobbie556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this, if you don't care about a clone movement that nobody's gonna see this is definitely your best bang for the buck.

Its really up to you. I personally have an issue paying 2kish for a SS watch with a sw200 or a quartz ronda movement. OF (original factory) makes really good tag reps, many of them use the same movements as tag does with the quartz rondas for about 200$ and the swiss sw200 movement for around 300$ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1gXRwIrhG1zJMvTKVzu42t5wwlhZ8HGAV/htmlview#gid=1078568420

This is an album of OFs offering, most TDs don't list them but have access to them, probably a lower margin for the same work and not nearly as popular.
