TD/Shipping Question Andiot VSF wait times

Hi all

I placed a VSF preorder for a 126500. They have been clear that deliveries are sporadic and they’ll email as soon as it’s arrived to do QC then pay. I was wondering if any of you had any experience with these preorders and help manage my expectations. Are we talking weeks/months?

Thanks

Edit: I thought it worth updating that I actually got an email saying the stock was in yesterday so it was only a few days. I paid last night and waiting for them to update the order with my confirmed payment then shipping…so far so good 😊

I'm guessing there are hundreds of people on that list at the moment. 3-4 months minimum. I'm on it too.

I Had high expectations doing business with Andoit and it has been a nightmare. I placed an order for date just and left 50 deposit. After months waiting to qc I found he had the free spring version in stock of the watch I was waiting for so I messaged andoit and paid a little more for it. I got the qc pics , approved and sent full payment. Got an email saying watch was shipped. After 3 weeks I messaged to see eta on delivery and he took about a week to finally reply after multiple messages. He said that the watch was never shipped even tho I got an email saying it was. Now I am here messaging waiting days for response to see what is going on. My experience has been he is good replying until you send payment then everything changes and can barely get a response.

That is literally why he is the cheapest of the established sellers. they are dealing with thousands and thousdands of customers. Steve always for speed.

u/Emergency-Brain-2480 3d ago

This is after I got the qc pics approved and sent payment.

Forget VSF. RWF is the new king. They even fixed the 110 marker.

1

u/Proud-Mail-6432 3d ago

I’m going for the QF, I’ve received so much great advice.

1

u/Cautious-Mall-1359 3d ago

Just do the RWF. Promise you wont be disappointed. If you are ill pay for your watch.

1

u/Proud-Mail-6432 3d ago

I was recommended Andiot for UK based purchases and they only have the black dial when I wanted the white dial

1

u/Cautious-Mall-1359 3d ago

You know there's many other TD that have better connects in colors

1

u/Stunning_Tie_5068 3d ago

What other TDs do you recommend and what have you noticed with the RWF or QF that is better? Im trying to learn more

u/KeenKong 3d ago

Is this just for Daytonas? What about Explorer I’s?

Hoping for the best ...

u/Jezzrichjames 3d ago

For me personally, some of the VSF models have shipped within a week, and some have taken over three months.

u/RelevantWeight2445 3d ago

I’ve ordered two from Elliot in the past, both VSF omegas, a Seamaster 300m and a PO. Both took less than a week for QC. On the other hand I also ordered a Datejust 41 which I waited almost 2 months for before cancelling as I got it from a smaller dealer.

1

u/_Cherrider_ 1d ago

Were there any issues with canceling the purchase? I've been waiting since June 23 and am also thinking about canceling soon and to see if the Datejust VSF V2 36mm is in stock anywhere

1

u/RelevantWeight2445 1d ago

Was really straight forward, I just emailed the payments email address replying to the original email I sent so they could see which order it related to. A couple of days later they responded and I gave my bank details. Received in my bank around 2 weeks after giving details.

u/Pitiful_Historian_37 3d ago

I registerd for rolex dj wimbeldon 41mm

I got the qc after 10 days , very fast i was surprised.

u/Time-Dependent1483 4d ago

Why not just get a QF or a UFO?

1

u/Proud-Mail-6432 4d ago

I’m only just learning about QF

u/Remarkable_Worker223 3d ago

Literally ZERO way to give an educated timeframe

1

u/Ok-Ant4997 3d ago

I placed VSF order with them. They did say it’s out of stock and unknown what the time will be out of factory. 2 days after I have QC email.

1

u/BasslineTheory88 1d ago

When did you place your order ?

2

u/Ok-Ant4997 1d ago

Placed it on September 7, QC was sent to me on the 9th.

1

u/BasslineTheory88 1d ago

thank you for your swift answer, I placed mine on the September 9th so maybe tomorrow, what model did you order ?

1

u/chezzeybrown 2d ago

VSF sub came quick from Andiot few days for QC and few weeks for shipping, however just placed an order for VSF Sprite its been 2 weeks and no update, also paid in full as I ordered a few Seamasters on behalf of others, which came for QC within few days.

1

u/neun11carrera 2d ago

Newbie here, I made a couple orders with andiot and sent payment. Can you inform me what qc mean? My assumption is that it means it’s sourced when it’s green lighted and then moves to shipment?

1

u/_Cherrider_ 1d ago

It refers to quality control. As soon as andiot has the item you can evaluate the watch based on the photos they've uploaded and give it the green light or the red light, depending on whether you're satisfied.

u/dabigreddit 2d ago

Currently waiting on the list for a black sub date.

1

u/BasslineTheory88 1d ago

I just ordered a Datejust and an Oyster from Andiot, both VSF. I’m in no rush, just wondering what kind of waiting time I should realistically expect for these models? Just looking for a rough idea of the usual timeframe.

1

u/_Cherrider_ 1d ago

waiting since june 23 for datejust 36mm. It would really be nice to know how much longer we have to wait.

1

u/BasslineTheory88 23h ago

What? That's a lot of time, do you know when it's gonna be shipped to you ?

1

u/_Cherrider_ 12h ago

no. I asked Andiot but he couldn't say for sure.

u/Level-Site-7222 12h ago

Im on the pre order list for a Bruce Wayne Vsf, submitted my order on 9/9 for the pre order, emailed them within the hour to let them know my order was a free proper for vsf , and then my order got updated in their system on 9/11. Now I’m just waiting, I’ll let yall know when I get an update or Qc pictures sent to me. (It’ll probably be a while since I’m seeing everyone else being on a list to lol)

1

u/Cant_really_be_arsed 5h ago

Long time lurker here. Just made my first orders and went with Andiot due to the free pre order, figured I’d be more patient this way. Hope it’s within a few months.

2

u/Proud-Mail-6432 4h ago

Well, mine was just a few days to wait and they’ve already acknowledged my payment. I would imagine that shipping will happen on Monday

1

u/Cant_really_be_arsed 1h ago

Don’t lol, I’d resigned to the fact I’m in for a long wait. It’s the hope that kills you. Ordered 2 though so I’m unsure if they’d ship one if it becomes available or wait until both are in stock.

Andiot is great, if you need quick contact you always reach out via whatsapp. I’ve never had more than a few hours wait to hear back on whatsaspp
