I’ve fully paid for a watch, and I’m waiting on QC pics- but Andrew isn’t replying anymore and I was informed that the factory isn’t able to give a timeline of release.

If you've chosen a TD, then patience and trust are your best friends. Never a good idea to be in a hurry with reps, and it makes no difference anyway. Try to pull back and just give it time.

I hope that you're dealing with the real Trusty Time and not a cloned website you found on Google.

When trusty gave you the information that they cannot give you an estimated time for the watch to be delivered to him, what kind of responses are you now waiting for?

Just sit back and wait a few weeks/months.
About how many weeks is enough, is it long?

I’ve waited three months for one particular watch, as has been said many times before, factories can be raided, they may halt production of a certain watch without warning and the Trusted Dealers have work with that or offer alternatives, so pati3nce really is a virtue.

Well said @IvorH

It's not like we're ordering counterfeit goods, produced illegally in their country of manufacture. Oh wait... that's exactly what we're doing.

Delays can unfortunately be part of the process, especially if someone doesn't check availability with the TD prior to ordering.

Andrew is great but shipping times are horrendous compared to QE, Andiot, and TheOne.

I've been dealing with Andrew for 5 years.... this includes the COVID years when everything went to hell-in-a-handbasket. Back then, you would be lucky to get your watch within 6-12 months (if not longer). Based on my personal experience, he's a man of his word and in the end, he will make it right......he's never let me down. Someone mentioned in another reply that patience is a "virtue". In the replica world it's an absolute necessity.

Now, if your new to the "game", I understand your impatience......you've spent a few hundred of your hard-earned dollars in what is classified as an illegal activity. There's skepticism and distrust and an unspoken understanding that you may lose it all because on the best day - it's always a risk......been there-done that. But Andrew has earned my trust over the years. Once, I place an order, I complete all of the administrative crap and payment and then I turn it over to Andrew and let him take it from there. He has always delivered.
