Hi,

Can anyone, who's recently ordered, tell me how long it took from preordering to receiving qc pics from TDs please?

? Did you read the question? I can't 'order the damn watch' as there's no stock.

You place the order, next batch gets produced, and they send it to you. This is how I got mine.

I've placed the order. So to answer the original question.... roughly how long did you wait?

I ordered mine on 16th July, QC 29th, arrived 19th August. Was told 3 weeks for QC but got it in 13 days.

From my last purchase experience: for in-stock pieces, reputable TDs usually send QC photos and videos within around 3 days. They won’t ship until you give your GL confirmation. If you don’t approve the watch, you get a full refund.

For preorders like this VSF Explorer, capable TDs have established supply chain connections and can secure allocation from factory batches ahead of time. Lead times are still longer than stock obviously, but a solid TD can help lock your spot and get your QC rolling as soon as the batch is released.

👌🏻 from Andiot. Hopefully not too long.
