First experience with Andiot watches - process ongoing

[itzik217]

Hi everyone,

After seeing Andiot recommended on the sub, I decided to check out his website to see if he had the watches I was looking for. While browsing, I reached out to him on WhatsApp to inquire about a couple of models, and he was quick to respond with pricing and an estimated timeline for QC photos. 4-6 days and delivery via Fedex 5-7 days.

I ended up placing an order for the following watches:

1. Submariner 41mm Clean 126610 LN – Black Ceramic, 904L Steel, 3235
2. Yacht-Master 126655 ARF – 1:1 Best Edition on Oysterflex Strap, VR3235


I sent the full payment via [your payment method], and I’ll keep this thread updated as the process unfolds!


2025.03.02 - Paid In Full

Looking forward to seeing how this goes! Will drop in when milestone progress.

Andiot is solid. His delivery time may not be on par with other higher end TD's but that's because he's a smaller shop with less pull. Elliot has delivered on every order I have placed with him, but some orders do take longer due to the relationships some of the larger TD's have with the factories. You've been here since 2018 so I assume you know about factories vs. dealers. Some patience is definitely required for the smaller TDs such as Andiot. In the end, you'll get your watch, and using Andiot, at a lower price point.

Yea he seem like a cool guy and very responsive (bro...lol). He seem to be confident with the delivery times so we'll see but thanks for the input...He did ask me what size i wanted the Oyster to be but not sure that was meant for me since i didn't order any Oyster.

March 2nd

Pulled a late-night rookie move—2 AM brain strikes again. Meant to snag the VSF 41mm, but somehow fumbled the order and prdered the clean by mistake (no date). Hit up Elliot, now waiting on him to get back with me. Stay tuned…
