I spoke with a friend in China about 8 hours ago, decided to call him as he wasn’t replying to texts which was weird because it wasn’t like him. He told me his sister was at a factory during a raid and he had to pay 100,000 RMB to get her out of jail. Adding to injury they took all the watches as well.
Another friend told me March is going to be intense due to raids and there may be delays. Maybe it’s happening…

this means CF daytona pre-raid in M2M... 1500usd?
Before we get into a state of frenzied buying and panic, remeber : this too shall pass....
GF closed, people cried about the loss of Breitling and Santos, they came back 6 months later as GOF and are still strong
VSF closed and came back....
Noob closed but better factories took it's place....
Take a deep breath and enjoy, no need to panic buy, especially if it's a Rolex model

Hold on to your Clean folks shit’s about to appreciate 
you know what's funny.. i literally just placed an order for.. "other" items the past few days
and well out of curiosity i did talk to the seller/contact person who is in china as well, Guangzhou specifically which is like the homebase of reps anyways, it seems it's not just Clean or the factories.. WAREHOUSES got hit as well!!
i wonder how far reaching the effect of these raids will be.. VSF? ARF? Clean got wiped out already.. who else?! what next?!
.......price hikes incoming for sure and inventory control depending on when things get back up and running but it's not just watches.. across the board raids are going on
crazy
this is crazy!!!

Was really hoping for a black dial clean op41 to put bow on the collection for awhile. Life goes on
King and VSF still fine
RIP to all the Daytona 126500s
I'm more mad that development of the Le Mans is probably setback a few months or more
at this point i think all the TD's are contacting their suppliers and everything right now..
Clean got hit already.. who next
warehouses being targeted too..
who next
this pool going deep if China cracking down and handing out fines.. their economy needs the $ so it makes sense to go after them and raid them in this way..
Guess the feds weren't too happy about Clean discontinuing the 4130 models
Only a handful have not returned...noob, h-factory, jf, etc. Most come back after laying low and setting up a new assembly shop. Makes me glad I got my clean GMT last month.
Not the news I wanted to see today. I've put in 2 separate orders with my dealer (one pre-CNY and one just 2 days ago) containing a mix of Clean Daytonas I wanted to add to my collection (due to the big discounts on offer) and BTF Daytonas for builds lined up. Fingers crossed they aren't affected 
This is why you grab what you can, while you can.
