1) Website - Andiot Watches has a clean well organized modern website. Everthing is well layed out and easy to navigate.
2) Prices - Andiot Watches offers some of the best prices among the TDs. Since all these reps are sourced from the same factories, you'll get the best value for your $ with Andiot.
3) QC - I believe most TDs will give you at least QC pictures before shipping. Andiot provides both high resolution photos as well as video of both the timegrapher data on the watch as well as video of the operation of your watch before shipping.
4) Payment and Shipping - Offers several options. Including Wise or Revolut, Cryptocurrency in USDT only, Western Union, International Bank Transfer to China or Paypal friend and family (5% extra for the bad exchange rate).
5) Customer Service - Elliot is very responsive, usually replying back in a day or 2. I asked him why other TDs were advertising a watch he wasn't able to get immediately, he told me that all TDs were facing a delay from the factory for that watch. He would also be happy to take my $ and make me wait, but would rather have me keep my $ and pay once the watch was available. I appreciated this candor.
My order chronology
I reached out to Elliot via WhatsApp on 4/28 to inqure about availability and shipping time on 2 watches. He replied back same day and let me know there was a 10 day lead time for both. When I asked about payment and shipping he provided the options and told me one of the watches would take at least 2 weeks to get from the factory and he offered me an alternative. (VSF vs Clean). I put the order in for the available watch on 4/30 and sent payment the same day. Website was easy to order from and he replied quickly to the questions I had about his address while making the payment via Wise. Received an email on 5/4 with QC pictures. There were some reflections on the crystal which appeared like they may be defects on the dial. I emailed him about that and received a response the same day. Approved QC on 5/8 and received email that order would go out next day. I was away for work but when I arrived home on 5/17 watch was in my mailbox waiting for me. Overall a very smooth process. In talks with Elliot to buy the other watch I was looking at which is now readily available.
