Hi all, just wanted to let you know of my first experience dealing with Andiot watches that started in July, overall it was smooth communication with Elliot and most of my messages (I used whatsapp) were replied within 24 hours max. TLDR: whole process from payment up to delivery took exactly 3 weeks, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the result 
At first I wanted to place order for the sub no-date (124060) either from the VSF or Clean, but according to him due to high demand and slow manufacturing from factories it would likely take long time between 2-3 weeks for him to be able to source, so I switched gears and went for V7F IWC Ingenieur instead, as I've read that this rep has all the potential for becoming NWBIG, especially with the V2 update to address some of the issues from the first batch.
For the Ingenieur he said it was currently top selling, however also guaranteed that stock is available within 1 week max (probably he meant that the factory is still live and cooking), and I've looked as well in his QC album gallery that he was posting quite a lot of Ingenieur pics within the last several days, so I dared to pull the trigger for my first ever dive into the rep world.
12 Jul: payment made via Wise (he asked for currency in HKD)
13 Jul: payment confirmed and email was sent to my account along with order number
19 Jul: received email for link to the QC pics & videos
20 Jul: GL'ed the QC and confirmed for delivery
23 Jul: received whatsapp message for the proof of delivery and shipment tracking number
Note: after several days and even up to more than 1 week after I received this tracking number, still I have not been able to track this either using the tracking from Andiot site, 17track, or any other 3rd party parcel tracking site, so I was quite anxious about this and messaged Elliot at this time, however he ensured me that the shipment he used is reliable and that I would receive notification by the 3rd party expedition anytime soon
29 Jul: received message from 3rd party expedition company in my country, asking for confirmation of delivery to my address, so this is what Elliot meant for having a reliable shipment method, so far it has been smooth sail and I was no longer worried since there would not be any issues with custom at this point forward
31 Jul: received new tracking number for the local shipping agency within my country
2 Aug: finally packaged arrived safely in front of my doorstep, very excited as I was unboxing it, it was packaged very safely in a box, within a box, and within another box that each layered with bubble wraps, I was very relieved that upon seeing it through the transparent plastic wrap and the watch is ticking
, the feeling was similar to looking at a newborn and watching the baby is alive and kicking
The whole process was smooth, no hiccup whatsoever, the longest time that it had me quite worried was only during the shipment from China before the package is finally arrived at my country, however now I am very sure why Andiot is listed as TD, I can attest to all that they are indeed reliable, smooth communication, and arguably with the best price there is out there, thanks bro @Elliot Black, will definitely come back to you again for my next order
