Hi Lucy,

Payment made 16/05.

Your last update to me suggested another week. But this was 26/08.

I would very much appreciate an update. Even better the watches 👍

Many thanks

Rolex 126660 Deepsea. This the one taking the time. I am getting this along with a Santos for my GF but was informed this is ready to go (after just a few weeks). On reflection I should have maybe asked what is available immediately?

Oh,Jamie,sorry for reply you late,for the Rolex 126660 Deepsea,
the best version is from GMF in the market now,I ordered GMF's version for you also,but GMF's version is out of stock always,
they always told me lack of case,or lack of movement,they were raided on the end of May,
from then,they released watches always not normal,only some tungsten Rolex Day Date can come out,for GMF's most other watches,
can't come out normally,
but they always told me will come out soon,so let me wait,I don't know when they can back to normal totally,
so I think we should replace to another watch,
for your Santos,I have finished all work of it for you already,it can work very well always too,
so after replace to another watch,I will send them to you at once.

Regards
Lucy

Yeah the GMF Deep Sea is hard to get. I was told it would take 6 months at a minimum. It’s definitely the best one out at this time so if you have the patience it’s worth the wait. Good luck hopefully they will be available soon.

A small good news for you,Jamie,

in fact,recently,GMF have about a month didn't release anything in the market already,
but last night,they released a batch of tungsten Rolex Day Date,so I thought maybe they can back to normal soon,

last night,I asked GMF again,they told me they are relocating the factory now,so many watches and parts,haven't sorted well yet,
so most watches can't come out,I don't know how much longer they need still,but they reply my messages still,so I think they are safe still now,
maybe all these delay all caused by that raid in May,

the good news is just 10 mins ago,I got messages from GMF again,I ordered about 10 watches from them recently,waited a few weeks already,
there are 3 of them came out now,so I think other ones will come out soon too,I think they will back to normal soon,

for this D-blue,friend,I am real sorry for let you waited long time,
but I didn't let you change to other watches,because every time when I urged them,GMF always keeping told me it will back to stock soon,
let me wait a few days,then I waited them always,

in fact,I have another customer ordered a total same watch like you,the DSSD D-blue from GMF,with 904 SS+A2824 movement,
he waited long time also,in the end of Aug,GMF told me they have it with A3135 movement then,
after talked with him,he prefer to wait the A2824 movement still,
for A2824 movement is cheaper a little,and it's more stable a little than the A3135,
so I always ordered 2 of it from GMF,one for you,and one for him,I thought maybe you prefer it with A2824 movement too,

so Jamie,my friend,we can have these choices now,
1,if GMF have it with A2824 movement now,I will get it for you still,and finish it,then send it with your Santos out soon,
2,if GMF don't have it with A2824 movement now,if they have it with A3135 movement still,
if you can accpet it with A3135 movement,I will get it back for you asap too,
3,we can replace it to other version of it in the market,like JVS's version,or replace to another watch,

if you want,I can send your Santos to you first,
I will undertake this shipping cost for you(you paid shipping cost for one package to send them out together),
after the second one finish,I will send it to you via another package then,please confirm for me in email,then it's ok,thank you.

Regards
Lucy

Thanks for your reply and emails. The kind offer to send Santos first is appreciated. Looks like we have a way forward 👍😁

Hello Lucy!

Thanks for letting us know!

I'll continue to wait patiently for the 2824 especially if GMF will soon be increasing production after their move. I have also replied to your email.

I appreciate everything you do and remain grateful for the update.

If the case can fit a VS3135 it could be a good idea to get the A3135 and swap out the movement for a VS... but I don't know much about this particular model so don't take my word for it!

Thanks!

What is super confusing is the BP version comes with A3235. Some dealers recommend going with the A3135 instead. On the other hand, GMF seems to only use A3135 or A2824 with no mention of A3235. Since GMF and BP are the same, it makes my head spin.

I chose the 2824 for the simple fact that I could have it replaced with an ETA if/when the A2824 had issues. It's an old movement but pretty reliable and easy to repair for most watchmakers.

Great news!

I am still waiting for the DSSD as well. I originally ordered the A2824 but would be willing to take any movement if it would be easier to source.

@truetime168 , would a different movement be easier and faster to get?

Oh,friend,very good news for you this time,I got your DSSD D-blue with A2824 movment from GMF finally 2 days ago,

GMF was raided on the end of May,they closed 4 months,back to the markert from Sep indeed,
but they release watches very slow from then,I heard they changed a new boss,
so all things are very slow,many watches are out of stock then,so friend,for these things,I can't control it,
but real thank you for your understand always,

good news is GMF back to normal finally in Dec,
for many watches I ordered from them in Aug and Sep,I got all of them from last week finally,
for all parts I ordered a few months ago,I got them also,
so I think their situation back to normal already,

yes,another customer ordered the same DSSD D-blue with A2824 movment and waited long time also,
I got those 2 watches back together 2 days ago,I will show you QC pics of it today,

if it can pass my QC and test,I will finish all the rest work,clean dust,adjust the movement for you asap,then send it to you.

Regards
Lucy

Lucy,

Can you please kindly respond to my QC questions? I am very nervous now that CNY is approaching that I will face even more delays. I would appreciate your help.
