New raids

[leo6929]

Ordered three watches like three weeks ago. Got QC of two watches pretty fast... but for around since 10 days ago, nothing... sounds like something is definitely happening.

Or I´m just being impatient as always, lol

10 days? 10 whole days? That's half an eternity!

Just to confirm what some have mentioned, indeed , this was a pretty significant raid.
When you get pissed that something isn't perfect or it takes a little longer for something you want, there are between 200-300 people who were jailed during this raid (that is an accurate number, not a guess).

The factories that were shut down were ZF, AF, PPF, Clean, and several others.

Some dealers keep a decent amount of watches in stock. We should still see watches flowing pretty decent for a short time.

There is no ETA on startup. This may take a little while. This one was significant.

That´s pretty bad news, as always is with raids. Let´s hope for the best, starting with people who lost their jobs or were potentially jailed.

Thats for sure.

And that there will not be a scarcity price increase of 200% as there was before on raids like 2021 where VSF Submariners where 888 USD and Noob Daytonas 1,2k USD.

I was waiting for this moment. Selling my whole pre raid collection for...

We will now have "pre-post-pre raid" watches in the sales section.

And that there will be a comeback at all. This severe raids are (see above) not isolated. Pandabuy and other Agents, stricter controls for the shipping lines, raids at many bigger dealer in the cloth-/bag-/shoe-rep-business and so on. It looks like the PRC is now cracking down on the whole rep business.

You must be a riot at parties my friend...but I hear ya...

It's interesting to note, as in one of the last raids, it occurred almost concurrently with an intense diplomatic agenda. The German chancellor was there last week, Blinken yesterday.

However, at least as far as the other affected sectors are concerned, this was months in the making. According to press reports (including Bloomberg), more than 700 lawyers from international IP firms and law firms were involved - and British authorities on top of that. Of course, I can't say whether this is connected to the raids in the watch sector. But it is a strange coincidence.

I don't don't doubt this. They still chose this moment for the big show.

Well, until l hear any info from the sellers I know, I will keep my cool. Things slowed down because of Pandabuy, EWF and ARF apparently got hit, but Clean? Nothing about it so far.

Btw, just got 8kg haul from CSS, np issues. Another parcel on the way from QCXC, in the meantime got new Pepsi bezel for my C+.

World falling apart? Hardly. Panic mode? Full speed.
