Ordered mine two days ago and was given the bad news that they are sold out until the 25th (at least), then takes another weak to assemble and bench test. I Snoozed and I lost!

Thanks for the info.
My VSF Omega worldtimer power reserve is around 65 hours as VSF claimed.
Therefore, I really looking forward 3235 sub also has 72 hours power reserve too, so that I can have a new sub for Christmas.
However, only 57 hours ..........

So what's your final verdict? ;-)

I'm quite excited about the power reserve, it's an incredibly underrated feature.

I bought this Sub from TD and since I was in the EU I took triangle shipping. Within a week it arrived in the UK, and Royal mail says for the new shipment: Sender preparing item, that situation is from 17 December. Is that normal? It was sent with Royal Mail International Tracked and Signed.

2 days in the holiday season and you're already worried? You need to chill... I sometimes wait 7 weeks for my watches to arrive via triangle shipping.

Yeah it is normal, also its Xmas and COVID still there. Royal mail takes a bit to updated their tracking. Nothing to worry about.

It ended at 69 hours and 27 minutes

I think most of the time we talk about the externals but it is truly amazing what vsf has done with their movements. It's truly a breakthrough in the rep game in my opinion. Their movement alone puts them one step above all the other factories.

This is my first rep, so I’m a little impatient. The only thing that worried me a little is: Sender preparing item, but if you think everything is fine with it, no one is happier than me. Thank you!

DeusNikola I ordered something from Amazon.de on December 5th. They've shipped the item on 15th, delivery expected by 23rd. So 7 days from China to UK in covid times during holiday season is a miracle. I wish I had your problems.

Please tell me who's your TD, I need to try them out.

Royal Mail is running on delays at the moment. It’s because Covid safe work place rules (less staff) and unprecedented amount of parcels Due to all the lockdown online shopping.

Thanks for sharing, I need to try them out. That sounds like a very good service.

You'll learn that patience is the most important virtue in this hobby ;)

I ordered this beauty for a good friend and thought I'd share a QC photo. It's already approved, so no worries.

I have a franken en route, sent 3rd November from NL and still not arrived with me. Most international couriers consider a parcel lost after 30 days. In these times I’d allow 6 -8 weeks. If over that within Europe it’s likely ‘lost’ (misplaced or someone’s taken it)

That's just an indication that the electronic info has been received by the transporter. Then you must wait for the actual item to be received by the shipper... Then it'll sit on the dock waiting it's turn since it's low priority. Finally, it'll catch transport and arrive at the first country.... Where it'll probably sit some more...

Now I'm in France, my parcel actual cleared customs on the 10th of December... But it's still not delivered... Things have been particularly slow this time around....
