Now he can't get the Brown Strap

messages from MR-->>

I'm sorry to tell you that the maker cannot get the strap changed now.
The chinese government is hitting the rep watch market.
So the makers have limited models to sell now.
I can only provide the watch to you as pics attatched now.
Please check whether you like the one attatched.
If not, I can issue you a refund. Very sorry for the inconvenience.
Regards, M

then AUTO-REPLY msg-

This is an auto-reply from Mreplica.

The Chinese government has been hitting replica watch market and
hunting for replica watch makers and traders since March15th. They
have seized dozens of watch makers and confisticated some replica
watch factories. So many watch makers are panic and might won't work
in the coming days to aviod checking from policemen, which means that
quite a few watch models won't be available immediately. So we'll shut
the site for days until suitation is better. Please hold on your
orders currently. We'll email you back once the site is ok to be back
to accept new orders.

For old customers who have returned watches/paid orders, please wait
patiently since orders might be delayed due to the working time of the
watch makers. But we'll keep all of you updated via emails.

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience!

It always happens March 15th, same last year. Stay cool and just wait a couple of weeks. It is like CNY.

^That's not really what Watch International is saying. R's saying he's worried he'll lose his job.

I just placed an order for a djII ice dial from Sead a couple hours before I read about this. I hope I'm not screwed.

I guess we just have to keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.

You have to feel for the TD's.......there's a lot of livelihoods at stake if this all goes tits up.

 

[User_Error]

i imagine this is like any other shady business, there is a lot of money to be made, so someone will step up and fill the need, just got to wait and see what happens once the smoke clears.

Darn, I got my courage up and just ordered a Daytona from Trevor. I really hope all is well soon. I will keep my fingers crossed.

Don't feel bad, man. I'm in the same boat, as are several other people here. I just hope we can get refunds if something is seriously wrong and no watches are coming.

I just ordered a Daytona from Trevor yesterday, got QC pics today, so im not worried.

He said he had them in stock, so it should be ok.

 

[Scarface]

Too bad for the workers at the factory , hope they are released soon

 

[captaincaveman]

OK I am in the midst of ordering a SMP chrono from one of our TDs. Friday, I received QC pics so, thankfully, it appears my watch is in her hands just as news of the raids broke. She told me these events will not affect my order which I interpret to mean either A) the raids did not affect the factory where mine came from or B) the watch had been shipped to her prior to the raids or C) I'm just over-analyzing this.

My wife laughed when I told her my new SMP might be delayed because the factory it's made in could've been the target of gov't raids. So I think it's C).

From toro:
"Only cheapo factories were affected, those you´d never buy anything from, there are hundreds of them outthere..."

I'm hearing things are getting tighter with customs though, especially in the EU.

We look to be getting different stories from different dealers. Mary, MR and River have all told me this is much worse than normal and at least one second tier factory has been hit. Second tier factories we definitely do get stuff from. This one produces a lot of Rolex stuff as well as the best of the Nautilus models.

MReplica is concerned enough to have closed his website for a while. that is costing him money so not something to be done lightly.

 

[randychuah]

though i've received my watch i ordered last week, still keeping fingers crossed on this issue as it will be sad to see the rep market go hay wire

 

[sub4me]

if this all goes tits up.

:biglaugh:, I think I'm gonna be using this one.

Comon guys we have to have a bit of a laugh.

That's what i heard too... I hope it is just a matter of some days/weeks for them to be back to regular, but most are very concerned...
