Damn that’s kinda scary for us rep enthusiasts. Imagine China starts taking reps seriously and actually abolishes them.

If that happens then another country will step in to fill that gap. Too much money to be made in the rep world for the demand to go unfulfilled. At least that's my guess.

Reading this makes me fear for VSF. Might purchase their new Datejust 41 first instead of waiting for a month or two

For all the noobs, this happens regularly every year. Someone else will fill the void in case the original factory cannot continue altogether

Looks like you already forgot the most important detail. The 316L lie came from ZZF, not ZF.

Which is the thread that contains the 316L issue? I missed out on the info.

This is disgusting. The CCP should either let the rep industry run or stop instead of doing these childish moves. It must be frustrating to all the factories in the fake industry. What a dick move.

As I'm interested in buying a BB58 I asked eric from geektime if I could still order a ZF BB58 as I heard the factory got raided. He answered: Don’t worry their stuffs are still working

I then asked if I could order a BB58 just like always and he said yes. Thats weird but good I think?

Sounds like my previous experience with some TDs who say yes yes it's available and then they say oh sorry it's not available, would you like to change your order? Lol

I know a rep dealer in China, according to him, lots of factories start to go into "holiday" mode since today. To lay low for a while as the officials are sweeping around Guangzhou. Hopefully business will come back soon. After Chinese New Year presumably.
