And ZF?
Is it working at full speed?

I don't know whether at full speed I was checking their availability lately and they were operational (at least in regards to the models I've been interested in).

At least, they are working. They seem to have problems with titanium cases, but afaik nothing serious. Nevertheless I had to reject the last QC form them ;-)

Thanks.
I am still waiting for the ZF RM055 Yas Marina Circuit QC pics, but they've only confirmed receiving payment on the 7th, so I have to wait a bit longer before asking them if everything's good...

 

[Hiroxima]

JF is still closed, spoke earlier to Sead. Clean seems to be open, since they released new GMT's.

 

[Levi2019]

GMF and EWF open

 

[plonker]

What’s about KRF?

 

[manuel02]

I don't know, i want to buy a KRF Black Bay 36 but some trusted dealers told me that krf factory works, other they don't actually work... we must wait

GMF and EWF open

Really? I thought puretime said GMF was permanently closed. But if they are open, that's a great news!!

Just ordered and got QC for a zf aquanaut from trusty! No delays.

 

[Mille M]

Still no QC pics for my ZF RM55 Yas Marina.
Confirmed payment on the 7th.
I will wait some more days and then contact puretime to see if everything's good...

These raids seems like they are ‘hard’ raids meant to really end reps or at least severely ruin the supply chain. In the past a company would be raided and after some palms were greased and money exchanged they would be back in business in no time. Maybe it’s so they can show the outside world they are cracking down but turning a blind eye on what’s going on inside these factories.

These raids seems like they really want to end the whole rep industry.

A moment of silence for Noob

Maybe palms were greased, but by Rolex and the other watch companies. Maybe the rep factories can't compete with them for "political gains".

What a time to get started...

I was recently informed by a TD that VSF is coming back online in a few weeks

 

[Duckber]

Isn't ARF open?

Should be... I got a Batman week ago.

Should be... I got a Batman week ago.

According to Puretime, ARF will soon be able to supply watches. If anyone got a ARF watch, it could be "old-stock" from before the raids.

My TD (JTime) says no estimate - currently that could mean few months aka indefinite
