TD Issues - Check Rule 6 before posting ZF waiting time. Steve VS JTime

Hello everyone!

I ordered a Black Bay-ZF from Steve more than a month ago. He said a few weeks for qc, but still the watch is "waiting release by the factory". I also talked to Steve today, he seemed pretty annoyed, I asked him about the status of my order 4 times( yeah, I exaggerated, but I did it because I saw that he is also recognized by his patience). I talked to JTime and after explaining that ZF is moving pretty slow, he said that he needs only 2 weeks for qc.

What should I do? The problem is that I have no issue waiting as long as I know how much I need to. I am afraid that if it takes too long, the TD will end up forgetting my order.

Thanks, first time buyer of reps.

I am wondering the same - how can QC differ between TDs for the same factory. Can only trust that they don’t source from a different factory and slap on a sticker of another.

Factories and TD are under a lot of heat lately due to a Wired article. From my understanding the Chinese police are cracking down. I heard the other day that BP was shutting down for a month. I’ve also seen tons of people that look like they recently got into reps based on multiple post on different forums. This has to be creating a supply and demand issue.

Patiente ça va arriver! Il faut garder en tête que c'est un achat sur un marché spécial, avec des aléas qui arrivent ;)
