Received my first order from Andrew, have nothing but great feedback.
Putting a timeline of my ordering experience, but keep in mind that I was expecting lots of delays due to the pandemic situation.
3/21 - Reached out via e-mail to see if ARF was working and providing stock; Andrew answered quickly within a few hours confirming.
3/22 - Placed my order for an ARF DJ 36mm and Submariner; I wasn't too picky on absolute perfection and let him know I was mainly looking for no glaring flaws and good time grapher readings.
3/22 - Quickly received QC pictures after about half a day on the DJ 36, and gave the GL.
3/25 - Received the QC pictures for the Submariner, and saw a bit of dirt on the bezel. I asked if he could confirm if it was just dirt and could be removed and he quickly got back to me within a day confirming it could just be scraped off and re-sent a QC picture. I GL'd.
3/27 - After hearing about lots of customs stoppages for DHL, I requested an alternative but left it up to him to decide the best shipping method.
3/30 - Shipped via 4px, left China within a few days.
5/4 - Finally received today; due to the postal services being backlogged in my country there was about a 2 week delay in processing once it landed.
Overall, very pleased with the transaction and watches.
