This could be a good thing, or an indication that I have a serious problem :ROFLMAO:

This isn't my first review, but...

I cannot say enough good things about Elliot Black and the team at Andiot. Their dedication to providing outstanding service is truly commendable and always maintain professionalism in sharp fashion.

Almost every single order was processed promptly, and if there were delays, I knew about them almost immediately. The communication throughout each step was thorough and transparent. The level of professionalism and attention to detail always exceed my expectations.

I highly recommend @Elliot Black and Andiot as a TD.

Thank you Andiot and Elliot for everything.

Do you place order first via website and then contact Elliot for QC pics or message via whatsapp first, GL the piece you want and then place the order?

I’m after a VSF 116610LN with box/papers/box candy… don’t want to just pull the trigger/place an order and then not get a flawless piece.

What’s the protocol?

Excuse my ignorance and apologies if ‘how to purchase’ is already detailed somewhere really obvious. My eyes are melting from looking at lots of threads on a phone screen.

TIA

Catch @Elliot Black on WhatsApp first. Check with him to see if he has what you're looking for in stock (he's a great guy), or if he has to order it. You have to exercise patience. This whole rep world is not for folks who want things immediately. It can take quite a bit of time to get something extremely specific.

When I talked to him on Sunday - he had a 116610LN in stock (VSF) from what I saw in his stock that he shared. As far as papers/box/all the things, I can't answer that. He would be the one to check with on that. I've yet to see a box that is 1:1 replica of a gen Rolex.

I also want to set some "rep world" expectations - You used the word flawless. There's no such thing. Close, but not perfect. Even NWBIG. There's a thread here somewhere that says something like, and I'm paraphrasing, "If you want perfection, buy a gen."

It's not ignorance, asking questions is a good thing. Some guys will offer help. Some will crawl up your ass. I'd suggest checking some of these threads, even if you're not new to the rep world, there's so much information, it can be overwhelming.


I'm not one to crawl up anyone's ass (unless the question is really, really dumb). Feel free to reach out to me and I'm happy to help within my knowledge and experience. If not, I can help find the info you're looking for.

Appreciate the reply my friend. By “flawless”, I mean by rep standards. Just, indices/font lined up/centred nicely, that kind of thing… nothing way off.

I’ve been fortunate to own a number of Gen Rolex’s over the years… one or two have even had a flaw here or there believe it or not.

Thank you for the info on reaching out to Elliot first. And for sure, I’m a fairly patient guy, happy to wait for the right piece. It’s good to hear you’ve had a great buying experience with Elliot.

Thanks man, merry Christmas to you.

I've reached out to Elliot and gave him a heads up that you may be reaching out (hope that's okay).

I have a gen AirKing, and luckily it's a perfect gen. If I bought it new and there was even the smallest discrepancy, I'd talk to your AD brother.

Merry Christmas to you too my friend!

Mike
