First Order - Four (4) Watches from Andiot

[richa]

Hello all,

Upon reading the Reviews, Price and checking out Elliot's Website. It has came to our decision to place an order with Andiot Watches. The communication was very good and helpful.

The order was placed via Bank Transfer.

Items ordered:
• TWO (2x) GMT-Master II 126710 BLRO Blue/Red Ceramic Clean Factory Best Edition On Jubilee Bracelet DD3285 CHS V3 With Newest UV Bezel
• Submariner 41mm 124060 No Date Black Ceramic 904L Steel VSF 1:1 Best Edition VS3230
• Submariner 114060 No Date Black Ceramic 904L Steel VSF 1:1 Best Edition VS3130

*Kindly mentioned the 'CF Pepsi V3 with the Newest UV Bezel' will be delayed (presumably due to demand) for a few weeks.

We are looking forward to the swift process of our order and will update here.

Are all 4 watches going to be shipped together to the same address?

Fucking crazy that people decide to buy 4 watches as their first ever rep order from one dealer... lmao

Two shipments with two watches, each.

A few reasons
(1) It is "my" first order with the TD
(2) I am not alone in this order
(3) As from the reviews and the short conversation with this 'TD'. We have decided to order all four, instead of two separate orders

Your choice your risk it's not my money

Indeed, my decision my responsibility.

Will update on the progress

I suppose to seperate packages is preferable to one... my experience with Elliot was great, good luck!

I can’t wait to see this play out, I’m very interested in all (4) watches.

Today, I received the QC image of the first batch (two watches). Am reviewing it and will let the TD know!

Elliot had been very responsive, and communication is very good. He hopes to get my other batch (two watches) by this weekend.

Does Andiot insure watches in the event of a problem? (Seizure of the watches by customs, loss of the parcel...)

Yes. You can find terms and conditions always on the TD's website - as for Andiot: https://andiotwatches.com/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=12

It would have been a better story if you had just said "I was just looking for one but then 3 more caught my eye and I couldn't resist! What could go wrong? Yolo!" heh

But Elliot has been great to deal with and you do pay a little more than some others but I would think that's to offset the customs issues

@Elliot Black is great, for sure. But also, his prices on most watches are substantially lower than other TD's, and still offers customs protection. Honest question, where do you feel you pay more with him?

Just compared to Hont. You're right with everyone else being higher priced. Hont is a bit more barebones but I've also had good experiences with him

Just an update that QC is finished and first batches are en route (tracked) and second batches being shipped.

Then, I would've chosen IWC Mark 20 and portofino instead of the same pepsi and Sub

Just an update for others whom are interested

7/29 QC green light
7/31 First batch shipped
8/7 Received first batch

The first batch was the Clean Factory Pepsi V3 DD3285. Looks amazing!!



Unfortunately, the other one, while the movement is running fine, the crown was extremely stiff to control or very loose in respective settings, and after a few trys to set the time and date, the crown did not respond anymore..

I requested an advice and sent a video to show the case to Elliot and am awaiting feedback.

Other than that, another batch has been shipped this week and will be arriving (hopefully) in the very near future.

It has been a very smooth operation with Andiot Watches. Definitely recommended.

Do you already have information on how Elliot reacts to the sub's complaint?
