Did anyone get a watch from V7F lately?
I've been waiting for a V7F IWC Portofino from Andrew / Trustytime for 8 months now and he tells me the the factory would be still closed.

OMF is closed right now too, GF doesn't have some models in stock and they take a long time to get back.

I ordered a Breitling SuperOcean Heritage II from GF a month ago and still waiting.

I have a watch on the way from OMF… you sure bout this??

Been seeing people on Reddit and to a lesser extent RWI talking delivery of VSF Rolexes. Any update on the overall status of the factory?

Unfortunately, I got an email from my TD again to have my order changed because they got news that VS is "closed" again... I can opt to stay with the watch that I originally want, or go for the 2nd choice that is manufactured by a different factory. I opted for the latter since my transaction has been back and forth for more than 4 months already.... :cry:

what did you order?

you have my sympathy- same here with a VSF smurf and VSF PAM1117 also for 4 months! The worst part is that I got my QC‘s a few days before the raids and shortly afterwards my treasures were lost in the TD move…:(

Ouch… I have two watches in similar boat! Sucks all around. For some reason I got chastised in another thread for lamenting about being out of pocket $1k with no definitive timeline for watches being available again. Aren’t we all lamenting about not having these beauties in hand? Haha

A number of these were made available less than a month ago (NOS). Got mine from Sead recently, he might still have some left. Jtime and Trusty had some too.

Andrew from Trustytime just informed that VSF is open but theres some delevery time on subs a few weeks i guess that is 2-4 weeks.

I guess that means that VSF is open and we can update the status on VSF?

I'd take it with a grain of salt, he's said a few times that certain factories would be open / closed but whenever I cross confirmed with other TDs they were asserted to be false, even more so when I received QC from a supposedly closed factory.

I would not change the status of VSF until there is confirmation that what they are selling is newly produced stock.

Got the info from Ryan (intime) that ARF is closed atm. I asked last Monday and today and the answer was always its closed. He said I should write him again next week for an update.
