First Purchase with Andiot Watches - Clean Daytona 116500 v3

[SS72]

Given all the positive reviews, I thought I'd join the Andiot buyers list.

Bought and paid for this 2 days ago. Payment confirmed. Currently awaiting QC.

I will update details along the way / at the end.

My first Daytona rep in more the 15 years . . .

@Elliot Black please check your email, PM and WhatsApp messages. An emails was sent to me 2 hours ago advising that my order has been shipped, but I didn't receive any pre-shipping notification or QC details beforehand. I have not confirmed that the correct watch is being shipped or that I'm satisfied it's free of serious defects.

Delete that RIGHT NOW! You've just exposed my personal details to the forum!
I don't have the QC email but do have others. Forward the original email with header.

I just happened upon this, luckily.

The REPORT function on each post is a way to alert staff to issues and should be used in exactly this type of instance.

@Elliot Black - please don't do this again.

@Elliot Black - before you share another picture, anywhere on RWI, check if it contains any customer's PRIVATE information.

Thank you for jumping on this.

Of course, I didn't think to use the button I've seen SO MANY TIMES.

Elliot, you clearly DID send the QC email. I have all other emails from you/Andiot except this one and I cannot account for that. But obviously the fault is mine. I apologise for suggesting that you did not follow process, and for not keeping this conversation private. Mea culpa.

Thanks for clarify that, it's removed.

And that is why we read these threads before ordering. ooof

Following all of the above, the watch is in hand 23 days after payment was made. That's at the far end of what I've experienced with ~20 previous orders from China to AUS. The gap between confirmation of payment and QC images being sent was the longest, but I've probably been fortunate with others.

My opinion based on the overall transaction:

• The website was very easy to use to find the watch I wanted
• Responsiveness to purchase enquires was good, whether via email, RWI PM or WhatsApp
• Payment was quick and easy
• Post payment enquiries/comms was okay -- consistency and language varied depending on who responded
• The QC images and videos provided were exceptional, (being able to view QC images from other people's orders is a smart business move)
• The tracking function embedded in Andiot's website is a nice touch, but tracking never resolved till my parcel was in country, regardless of which tracker I used (hasn't happened before and almost certainly a fluke)
• Packaging was good -- the watch in a snap lock bag, bubble wrapped in a box within a box -- and on arrival the watch is mint, and the movement is fully functional and appears to be healthy overall

The very competitive price was definitely a bonus.

If I ever need after-sales service, I'll update here.

Looks good! Did he told you before how much time need for get the watch? In my case I asked him and he was honest telling me that it would take at least 2/3 weeks just for the QC and another 2 more to get the watch and that if I didn't want to wait not to place the order, that’s why I’m still waiting for QC after almost 2 weeks

I was told it was in stock and available. I didn't ask how long it would be for QC. After a week I enquired and was told there were delays with Clean filling orders. Apparently there was a raid. It was 12 days between payment and QC, which is pretty good. Certainly can't complain about it.

Yeah if he told you is in stock is different. Btw now you have your watch and I hope you enjoy it! I’m still waiting
