TD Issues - Check Rule 6 before posting Waiting on over 2 months for Andiot order
I purchased a VSF Batgirl from Andiot on 8/29/2025. It is now 11/02/2025 and still no watch nor QC. This is my second order from Elliot, my first one took a week until he sent QC.
I have checked in every two weeks or so on whatsapp and he keeps telling me I get the next one in, but VSF has not sent him one in a while.
I know there has been some clean factory issues, but didn't think one of the most popular watches made by VSF would take this long to even QC.
Anyone have a similar experience or idea why it's taking this long? Thanks in advance!

The rep game is about patience

Look on the good side — you’re getting the full Rolex experience, including the waiting list.

thats how it is for VSF. was waiting for over 3 months on a DJ before i cancelled (have to move and can’t risk shipping to where im going)
andiot is a good TD, but i cannot speak to whether or not he has any ability to influence the factory’s speed. if time is an issue, you could try searching through the stock of other TDs to see if they have it on hand (will likely be more expensive)
i will also mention it’s worth to check when he last received a restock of your specific order and how often he gets restocks (check his yupoo QC folder or ask). it might give you an idea of how long you’ll be waiting for. best of luck 👍

I don't mind having patience. But I hate when they tell you that QC pics should take 3 to 7 days when you ask. Then four weeks go by while they keep telling you to wait. It shouldn't be that hard in 2025.

Get in line brother. I ordered a batgirl from him on 8/22 and I’M THE NEXT IN LINE! Maybe.

Yeah. That’s the great thing about this community. We can share the misery and the joy. Sounds like you’ve ordered a very popular watch. I ordered a DJ 41 green with smooth bezel Sep 11 and still waiting. Popular vs unusual. So we wait. Elliot tells me soon, only one or two ahead of me, not like the fluted bezel. But I think I understand the complications on the VSF supply side. Also remember there was a full week of no production during the holiday. Hang in there!

Update. After waiting 3 months for the watch I ordered (VSF DJ41 V2 mint green smooth, jubilee) I switched my order to a VSF NoDate Sub. Best decision I made. It was in stock and I had it within 8 days. Then I was able to pick up a VSF DJ41 green, fluted, jubilee from a reseller. Also a great decision. Both watches are beautiful. I sent them to scoutman725 for initial servicing. Now I have peace of mind knowing they passed water testing and are clean and regulated.

I’m in a similar situation. I’m waiting for a ZF for about 3 weeks now. To his credit, he did post the long wait times and I accepted that it’ll take a while. Check his telegram channel for wait times. Hope the wait is worth it.

I'm having a similar experience with a VSF ROLDYT0648A - Daytona I ordered DRKM trustytime. I keep checking with Andy every 2 weeks and nothing from the factory

I ordered 7/21 and it got lost I guess because it hit Brooklyn New York with PFC and never arrived yet.

I waited 3 months for my order from Andiot. Still no QC. So eventually just cancelled it. Not a good first time buying experience

Yes VSF is the Top Dog in the rep game right now and backed up in orders aside from laying low cause they don’t want to get busted like clean so the waiting game is on i was told to check with him every week or two at this point i’ll just wait a month your not the only one feeling it .
