ZF lost all they had (seized) and their employees got arrested. They got them.

Might not be able to buy any ZF anymore. Well for some time.

Thats really sad was looking forward to ZF 15202 V2

Does that mean ZF watches will go up in value :p

I doubt the credibility of that information and besides China is a master of manufacturing copies of various products, why should that be so serious. Doesn’t make sense. Especially if you can’t find any other sources mentioning that.

Read all the link I gave. They want to stop copies from Guangzhou by June 2021.

Even TDs confirmed this information about the raid of ZF.

I received the newsletter from Puretime and it does mention some factories got raided which cause availability issues. It's true then and good thing I have mine already.

Hi Guys,

ZF is down. I know there's a thread about OMF falling behind due to the case not being like gen. However, there's an OMF V2 out now, maybe it's on par with the ZF now????
I was literally gonna order the ZF black dial after my other 2 orders arrived.... Gotta limit the addiction somehow.

ZF will be back up again, don't worry.
Actually, like I mentioned, these raids and arrests are almost routine and just a part of our hobby.

Also, they always seem to be around Chinese New Year time too...
Personally, think the heads of the police, want their new years bonus (bribe) but that's just me :p

It is an intrinsic and embedded part of the chinese culture yes. Yearly or monthly dues to "look the other way".
Or perhaps the local head of police was just miffed that they told him that the ZF diver will only be shipped after CNY. :hehehe:
Theories abound, but I think they will be back soon, the matter resolved of course by money exchanging hands.
It is REALLY serious if and when we see it on the news.. it would be much more difficult to cover it up then lol

Just gives me giggles...every year some factory gets raided, a thread gets created here, people panic about open orders, speculations become rife, factory comes back online (after money changed hands) and then we all eventually go back to complaining about SELs, DWs and CG shapes again!! Such is the circle of life in this hobby :D:D
