I agree, a few other top tier replica Rolex factories were hit by the raids.

I don’t buy Rolex reps, just AP and Patek. I hope XF, ZF, PF, PPF, and JF survive just fine because those are the primary factories for my world.

You gotta get the GREEN/PPF/ZF 5712 it’s an amazing rep!

Yesterday I sent a mail to Intime for the ZZF V3 116610LN and they said me that ZZF is still closed.

I just received word from my TD that VSF was thinking of reopening in about a week (i.e. before July).

can anyone confirm?

Also, they seem to have been shut down for over a month so far.

Would anyone be able to estimate, how much backlog they would have to finish before starting with new orders?
Here too, TD seems to be way to optimistic. He thinks that they still have plenty of ready stock to start shipping right away.

Your thoughts?

Yes, CF is the owner of ZZF.

I asket to Jtime if the ZZF V3 is available and he answered me that yes, but maybe is better to buy the CF 116610LN that you can consider it like a new evolution of ZZF V3 (ZZF V4).
Now I'm looking for pic of this CF 116610LN

Yayyy!!! Another raids thread!!
Well at least we can put unsubstantiated rumours, unverifiable statements, premonitions, hunches, underbelly feelings, vague impressions, unfulfilled ambitions and desires, and downright fantasies in a table now!!

I just spoke to my Chinese dealer, while he stated that the situation is still very sensitive over there esp with the big factories, he mentioned that there are some rumours between the dealers (like the TDs and local resellers) that VSF is indeed trying to reestablish themselves and return quite soon.

No fixed timeline, but I was told to 1) take this with a pinch of salt still and 2) that VSF may likely not have the same standard of products right off the bat if they do return, considering their supply chains and parts producers had been caught/raided previously.

Here’s hoping for good news of their return nonetheless.

Hello All. First of all thanks to everyone for the contribution of this forum. Im really a big newbie from Spain here and have been reading info and posts in the forum but there is so so much information that is crazy at the beggining! Just made my first replica buy. I own quite a few original and nices watches like Tissot or Tag, but dont want to continue to spend lots of €€ on unique pieces because (basically) I aint rich. :p but obviusly I love watches. So the thing is with a little bit of fear I made my first buy @ Trusty T. and this is the model: [h=1]BSW0453B - Chronomat B01 with a price of 568$. The question if anyone could let me know if the factory is open and is a good factory and also if the quality of the replica will be as good as I wish/expect it to be.[/h] Thanks in advacne all.
Best regards,
