Most dealers source and ship from Guangzhou, and Shenzhen so are more affected by lockdowns in those cities. I've had other items shipped from Guangzhou in the last few weeks, with only minor delays (a week or so). Just check with your TD before buying and they'll give you the latest info on delays

Agreed - no issues, as long as it doesn't look you're carrying a brand new purchase (some countries will charge import tax), or doesn't look like you're carrying to sell in that country. So just wear on your wrist, or carry in your luggage without box,papers etc and you're good to go

Looking forward to seeing QC of the updated CF dial!

Agreed... Let him flex... He must need the ego boost. End links look a bit iffy to me though

Have you heard back from your TDs yet? There were some holidays and lock Downs in China that would cause a delay... Make sure you use the contact details from the TD section of the forum, to avoid scammers

Both are great choices... VSF is the better of the two... Especially the movement

I've bought from most TDs one time or another, and they all have access to the same factories... But Li's service has definitely been the best. I just hope that the service doesn't drop as he gets more and more popular!

Glad it turned up safely, enjoy the new addiction!

Mine came with a rubber strap, but I actually wanted the canvas strap... Paid extra to have it added. Either way your watch looks good from here!

You made the right choice!

One shipment came to Aus very quickly, another still hasn't left GZ.... I guess it's luck of the draw at the moment

Agreed... Sead is safest, jtime can do triangular shipping though

Welcome! Perhaps a Panerai, as their origins are from the navy

Welcome! Another Aussie here - take a look at the NWBIG thread, and make sure you use a trusted dealer Li (jtime) has been great for me

I bought one of these from Eddie Lee back in the day, one of my very first reps...still annoyed that I sold it!

Enjoy the watch, Harry - Aramex are a bit of a pain, and it'll probably get delivered before the tracking even says it's in Australia, but Jtime are solid and i'm sure it'll all be fine!

I wanted to share my bad luck experience to show that sometimes things don't work out, and it's not always the TD's fault. I ordered a VSF 126610 from Andrew in June last year, and after tracking showed it still in China for a month, we finally confirmed it was seized on its way out of China...

Yes, some VSF models are still for sale... stick to a TD to be safe. I bought mine from Li (JTime)
