Has anyone else ordered from Trusty Time in the last month with no progress on the order and then received an update about raids are what holding up the orders? I have the two watches below on order and the Clean YM has been on order for over three weeks. Funny thing is, I ordered the same watch from a non-td a month ago for a friend and I got QC pics the next day and I already received the watch.

Royal Oak 15400 SS/SS White ZF V2 A3120
YachtMaster 126622 904L SS/SS D-Grey Clean VR3235 (ROLYM210B)

I have ordered over 10 watches form Trusty and everything has been great but I am curios on why raids seem to only be affecting TT.

Thanks

So you have ordered 10 watches from Trusty and of the 10 watches you ordered, how many times did you leave feedback?.

Yeh I ordered a vsf Yachtmaster on July 21st. As of yet no QC pics but he did email me to say that VSF are slow at getting watches out due to raids.
How much of that is true, I don’t know but I guess it is what it is. I’m just hoping it won’t be too long before I get my watch.
Just a waiting game I guess.

He mentioned raids also on my first order, watch was a jwf skydweller and it did arrive, no issues. Might have taken 6 weeks or so.

Didn't bother me much. So I placed another order for a few other watches earlier this week.

Yeh seems like VSF are having a hard time shipping their watches to TDs. Just asked a few other TDs if they had any stock of the vsf Yachtmaster and they said nope as vsf is slow sending watches.
So the wait continues for mine 🤣🤣. Although I have my eye on a Daytona from onewatches that I may buy. The one I have at the moment, bought it from grand bazaar in Turkey has major issues keeping time, although the guy I bought it from says he will fix/replace the movement when I am next in Turkey. So I may get it fixed then sell/give it away and get a better version as the one I have only cost me £100 or so 😂.
If only I had known about this place I wouldn’t have bought one from Turkey. But now I have more knowledge than I did a few mths back.

I ordered also two latest Pateks from 3KF (5711 v2/v4 and 5167 v3) from steve (theonewatches) and waiting noch 2.5 weeks now ... Steve said that the factories have issues with getting the movements currently... "they lack of the movement these days"

But somehow i tried an order with Li from Jtime first on the beginning of July and he send QC of the watches within a week.

So never know if it is all correct what differnt TDs say or how their connection and relationship each to the factories are...

Hmmm I might have to message a few TDS and see if they can get hold of the watch I want. Trusty has said that he can refund and cancel if I choose so if I can find another TD that can get hold of one for me, I may just do that.

I will also wait with steve only another 2 weeks now... Not willing to "park" my money for over a month at a TD with nothing happening

I still have one in order from Steve at onewatches. Gave him $50 deposit but no idea as to when it will come into stock.

Now looking at getting a clean version of the same watch if he has it in stock that is.
