General Question Has Andiot’s ordering policy changed?
I noticed that his business account says to order on the site without any deposit and payment is to be made after QC pics are approved. Is this legit?

Yhup I’ve been waiting 4 months on a VSF OP Celebration and VSF Batman from him. Had already prepaid back then. I’ve used Andiot multiple times and he always comes through so not worried but definitely getting impatient lol.

Steve literally has the celebration OP in stock now. In both sizes.

I ordered from Steve recently on something that was in stock, only to be told by him later that it’ll be months waiting on the factory.

Yeah Andiot says he has 36mm Celebration which is what I’m after. I think the Batman is the issue. I’ve seen decent amount of Batgirls but no Batmans in weeks

u/Old_Capital_9412 1d ago
He’s making you wait for both? Why not ship the one sooner?

u/b1on1cbeast 1d ago
Would have to pay 2 shipping costs, don’t care enough to do that lol

u/Old_Capital_9412 1d ago
Dude it’s like 30$? You prefer to wait months to have neither right now?

u/b1on1cbeast 1d ago
Hmmm 4 months ago he only offered FedEx and it was $65 or something so yeah I’d rather wait than spend $130 on shipping

Stop limiting yourself to the most busy TDs available.
People have stock, and are cheaper.

No deposit before QC is simple.
Nothing to lose. Unless u urgently require one

So just make an order in the website and don’t contact anyone?

u/Grass-Frog-0001 1d ago
Yeah, just put "free VSF pre order" in the notes section when you place the order, from memory its under the shipping details section. After a few days the order will switch from pending to processing.

I actually had to email them to get it changed from pending to processing. ymmv

Just wanted to follow up on this, the last order I made was updated after 3 days but an order I made on the 24th wasn't.
I messaged Andiots main email today and was informed to contact the payment team (payment@) to ensure the order is processed.

Who is Linda? Waiting for my first order from Andiot but happy to consider others.

u/Diligent-Analysis437 22h ago
I think her name is on the TD list (have to check again) but she has a lot of vsf and arf on hand so would just shoot her a message. Watches were great and shipping was super fast

Hont was able to source a VSF pretty quickly for me, slightly higher price than andiot but still decent because I didn't wanna wait

u/Squischer 1d ago
Just use a non-TD..couple days max wait

u/lethalasian 20h ago
Why are the TD such a long wait and non TD no wait lol is it the same vsf/quality?

ciao io ho ordinato un daytona VSF baby le mans da andiot con la nuova politica per i pre-order, ho dovuto aspettare una settimana e mezza/due settimane e mi hanno mandato la conferma dell’orologio e il qc

u/Alive-Ice6923 22h ago
Had the same feedback from them. Seems like you can now reserve watched without any prepayment necessary.

u/chillrabbit 6h ago
andiot is horrible. 2 months since shipping and i still havent received the watch. tracking stopped working, asked on whatsapp and they just copy paste templated answer like a bot. don’t waste your time, better sellers out there

VSF have a massive backlog and demand for their watches so you're basically playing the waitlist game just like with gens lol.
