Hello, after reading several posts on the effectiveness of Andiot, I decided to test it myself. On April 13, I ordered 2 Rolex OP41s from Clean. The payment was confirmed by "bank transfer" and since then, there has still been no QC. About two weeks ago, I sent a message on WhatsApp to get news and order a bracelet for my Daytona 125600LN from Clean and still nothing, even for the bracelet, even though he told me it would be quick. For a first experience, it's pretty average

First order from Andiot

I also ordered a bracelet from Elliot. Got the QC but it was the wrong kind. So it took a while to find one the the right fit and for the correct style.
You can always check his yupoo album page to see whenever he gets shipments of OP41s, along with the corresponding order number. You can expect faster QC processes when you order more commonly purchased watches. Pretty standard.
Après plus d'un mois d'attente pour recevoir les QC pour mes OP41, je les ai reçus ce matin et quelle déception... Le vert avec la couronne à 12h n'est pas du tout centre et le bleu avec l'index à 2h n'est pas centre 
After more than a month of waiting to receive the QCs for my OP41s, I received them this morning and what a disappointment... The green one with the crown at 12 o'clock is not centered at all and the blue one with the index at 2 o'clock is not centered
While I can understand the frustration of not getting a watch that is as perfect as you dreamed of getting, the attached photos show terribly minor imperfections if all else is good. I get it, I'm OCD as hell, but in my short time here I've learned that reps are just that... reps. They're highly unlikely to be 100% perfect, and remember, you're looking at highly zoomed in photos. Those misalignments will be pretty much imperceptible while viewing with the naked eye, especially the blue dial, I honestly can't even see anything wrong with it in the photo.
While you're free to reject the QC on those, just realize that they are not models that are as popular as others, which is likely why it took such a long time in the first place for Elliot to receive. You'll probably end up waiting another month for a replacement and it may end up being better or worse than what you've got on the table right now.
Best of luck to you whatever you decide.

I think even Gen rolex are not really truely aligned as well.Après plus d'un mois d'attente pour recevoir les QC pour mes OP41, je les ai reçus ce matin et quelle déception... Le vert avec la couronne à 12h n'est pas du tout centre et le bleu avec l'index à 2h n'est pas centre
Dude, I've been in the Rep world since 2011 and you've been in 2025 and you're going to explain to me how it works?
I've already had over a hundred Reps, I know how to read QCs Well then you shouldn't post bullshit problems whining about things you should know all about. I could've been a dick in my response... I thought about calling you out for having been here for so long, but alas, I was trying to be respectful. Not sure why you felt the need to create this post and shit on Andiot, you've been here long enough to know the drill.Dude, I've been in the Rep world since 2011 and you've been in 2025 and you're going to explain to me how it works?
Because it's forbidden to criticize Andiot's work? This is a page where we share our experience, right? I see that most of the messages posted are from Noobs who have had an account on RWI for less than a year. Did you think you were Andiot's lawyer?

Reading the various posts I noticed that I was not the only one in this situation. I don't know why you idolize Andiot so much. He is a TD like any other, he has the right to negative as well as positive criticism. I have been in the world of Reps for 15 years, I have worked with several TDs, so I have a lot of experience, and I think I have the right to give my opinion without needing to be corrected by a Noob who thought he was a Moderator or Andiot's lawyer.

I think criticizing a dealer for issues from factory is not fair and this is the point the other member try to make... the misaligned marker and rolex crown on the watch is a factory issue and not really dealer issue.... you as a member here for over 15 years would well know this.....
Also I took a look and I reiterate : if you have to zoom in and circle the issue, for me, not an issue. You can find same problem with gen watches if you wanted to.....

Reaps... thanks for explaining it more eloquently than I put it. This is exactly the point, someone that has been around the rep game for as long as landrax should understand the difference between TD and factory.
landrax, no one is acting as Andiot's lawyer here. It's kind of sad that I, as a noob, have to correct you on "criticizing Andiot's work" when it's not Andiot's work that you're criticizing, however bad you seem to want to push that narrative. For someone who is so boastful about having been in the rep game for so long, you seem incredibly ignorant of the rep process. I replied to you in a respectful and constructive manner, though you've made it easy to change course.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and experiences can vary from one person to another. That said, I don't think it's fair to criticize Andiot, or any other TD for that matter, for something that's out of their control. Again, you should know this with your wealth of "experience".
