First Purchase From Andiot - First Rep Ever (VSF Seamaster Diver 300m)

[neveglass]

First and foremost, a huge thank you to RWI, the mods, and the members - truly an amazing community here, and I am so appreciative for all the work and collaboration that has taken place to develop such a great resource of information. This is my first rep purchase, and RWI helped me navigate the process smoothly. THANK YOU!

On to the review...
After about ten days of reading, contemplating and messaging back and forth with a few TDs I felt most comfortable with Andiot because of his responsiveness, competitive pricing, policies and easy to use website. After messaging on WhatsApp for a few days, I decided on a VSF Seamaster with a white dial and white bezel.

On March 4, 2024 Elliot told me the watch I wanted was on-hand stock.

On March 5, I decided to move forward with the purchase and submitted my order through the Andiot website around 8:45 am, then promptly messaged Elliot for payment instructions. At first, I could not figure out how to send my payment, but after some noodling around and guidance from Elliot, I was able to submit payment around 1:45 pm and Elliot confirmed receipt at 2:24PM, and my order status changed to "Processing."

I am currently awaiting QC and will follow up after.

What payment method did you do?
I assume visa/mastercard are not an option then?

Update:
March 15th, 4:34PM - DELIVERED!

Just removed a few links (first time ever attempting that, surprisingly simple) and am proudly wearing my first rep!
I'll be placing a second order with Andiot very soon. I'm new to this community but have done my fair share of online/overseas buying, selling, and trading, and Andiot made this whole process worry-free and I can't thank Elliot and his team enough.
Overall, this was an extremely smooth process, and he is incredibly patient and responsive. I asked him a lot of questions and he always politely responded. The watch was packaged extremely well and discretely. 5-stars all around. Trust you are in good hands with Elliot!
