Having had a great experience with my previous order from TheOne, I decided to order an additional rep, this time one of the new DiW Submariners. I haven't found an exact Rolex model number for its equivalent gen, and a gen with the same features may not even exist, although I really like its design. I currently own two reps - one for formal occasions and one to wear daily, although I often find myself outside doing yard work while wearing one of them and as a result it has been getting scratched from branches and other objects, so I decided to procure one of the new carbon fiber reps, which has a more sporty, casual look and probably won't show scratches as much. On the website it is called "Rolex - Submariner DIW 40MM Carbon/NY Black/Red VSF VS3135". The two reps that I currently have are also from VSF factory with the VS3135 movement which I have been very happy with, and which is partly why I decided my next rep would also have VSF movement.
Sunday, March 3rd, 2024: I first contacted the e-mail address that I used for my previous order, inquiring about the model's availability.
Monday, March 4th, 2024: I received a reply the next day that the model is NOT in stock and that it would take 2 weeks for QC. I was asked to contact via WhatsApp/Line/Wechat instead of e-mail, so I began communicating via WhatsApp, and received a reply about payment methods.
Tuesday, March 5th, 2024: I inquired about lead time, and received a response that it needs to be ordered from the factory and that it would be about 1 month for the VS model to be available, and that they are released about once a month. I was advised to do a $50 deposit, so I sent it along with my shipping and contact information, and was advised that the order was processed and was given an order number and assurance that QC would be sent via e-mail ASAP.
