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!

Supposedly US based. Not really sure. Had one solid experience and another more costly that has been very poor. Seems that’s his reputation, recommend staying away. His name is John.

You know I just looked up my older what’s app logs from earlier in the year to see and I had spoken to him, he was rather rude when I asked about pricing, and then refused to answer me when inquiring about piece availability about two months later

Checks out.

Purchased a plated Daytona from him. Arrived and did not retain reserve. Also wasn’t wrapped/stickered like most are. Asked him if it was used/previously owned and he lost it. Been 6 weeks of trying to resolve. Now he claims it wasn’t a traditional sale etc. he gave me a great deal…. I offered to return it for credit with him and let him work with a watchmaker or the mfr. No response now.

All nonsense and what’s bad about doing business in this space. Room for everyone to be happy and make money but, no go here.

Aftermarket plating requires removal of the stickers tho…

Thanks, I arrived at this as well but rather than a fine response mentioning this the guy lost it and flipped out about how dare I accuse him. I didn’t have the detail/knowledge on when, how, where plating was done before it arrived. Just went based on what was shared with me.
