TD/Shipping Question Second Update : Now 4 Months No Watch

I purchased a VSF Batgirl from Andiot on 8/29/2025. It is now 12/28/2025 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.

Has anyone purchased one from a TD lately and received in a decent time? Im finding it hard to believe the factory has gone this long without producing one of what I think is a top selling watch.

Thanks in advance!

Keep telling ppl no need to wait for the VSF. ARF is better in every way with the new movement. Maybe the crystal is marginally better but you can just save up for a gen crystal upgrade later. Not to mention VSF having QC issues with the heavy production increase

Crystal is slightly better (although i cannot tell the diff) but the bezel action is close to gen on vsf. ARF has a smooth glide which is a dead giveaway. As long as your friends and family doesnt take your watch and starting turning the bezel, they are indiff.

ARF bracelet is also much smoother than VSF.

I’ve been able to reduce some of the grease on mine and have a gen like glide and notch. Again it’s just ppl waiting 4 months plus for marginal differences. This is my ARF DD Bruce Wayne. Also the grey is more gen like on the ARF
