Hey all new member here.

Been lurking for a bit and finally have some funds to pull the trigger on a VSF Submariner.

Im leaning towards Andoit. Who do you guys recommend? I am located in the USA.

I have a cheap cheap cheap rep Submariner already but I'm looking for a higher quality rep.

Sorry if this question is not allowed in the new members area!

Read some reviews, get familiar with how the process works and you’re good to go!

Well, All dealers source the same watches from the same suppliers. I have used intime and was happy with them, and I have one inbound from Andiot as they are a newer dealer so I never used before. Thus far I am very happy with the experience, my piece is inbound and after I receive it I will post a review. Just do your research well in advance of purchasing so you know exactly what you're getting and what to expect

Thanks for the reply.

I've read more in the last 5 days that I have in my 4 years of high school. Hahahaha. Thats why I'm leaning towards Andoit. Its just hard forking over my hard earned cash after reading a ton of other horror stories. (from other Dealers obviously)

Brother if I knew how I would looks like a rivet to me hahaha

When I said it was cheap I meant it lol

 

[Warwickhunt]

Bash it back in or stick it on a cheapie 007 NATO....

Just be careful the rabbit hole once you start....

My current collection, two still inbound. At some point I'll have to update my picture. It only took me 2 years from last time I did a group photo.

Hahah that’s what we like to hear!

There will always be stories. But if you have control over the process and know what to expect, things usually go very well! Be polite and clear in your communication and don’t rush things. Things in this hobby sometimes takes time and during your first purchase, it may feel like an eternity. Patience is key here

I’m sure you’ll land on your feet and end up happy!

Oh absolutely patience is key. I feel like Amazon has really spoiled us here in the states with two day and even ONE day deliveries. You often forget how much time it takes to actually get stuff shipped that's not froma Amazon let alone coming from the other side of the world.

Mostly m2m. Over half of them are out of production so patience was needed and making good relationships with other members so when something happens to pop up, I was able to be the lucky buyer .

Shoot well hopefully I get to that level some day. I definitely will try to buy a few watches per year. Your collection gave me some inspiration.
