gran Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Posted Today, 02:32 PM on other RWG Recently the government was hitting the rep watch market. The situation went bad day by day. Many factories were seized. Today three factories were seized. the factories in market are very nervous. Many watches can't be available now. So if you are processing your order with dealers, better to check the status with your supplier in time. if you are going to make a deal now, better to hold it for a few days to check the situation if the dealer have no the watch in stock. Just a advice. Rochest This is just something I have heard so if its the end is unclear......
dbutlerman Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 That's not good! Does this happen often?
asciwhite Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 So that`s why my dealer haven`t responded me for some time now... Waiting for shipping confirmation on a PAM212i & a 288K.....
gran Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Posted March 23, 2012 Posted Today, 05:26 PM Confirmed to me by Connie - Kingwatch... Dee Again its just something I have heard
cougar1 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Did they arrest quarter the population of China? Seriously though, if three main factories were seized then it could be a delay for about a month in getting things back up to full swing! Doesn't bode well, wasn't there a big clampdown this time last year aswell and a mini clampdown last november, they are getting more frequent.
Ronin Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 This hits every 2 years or so. They generally hit the "low hanging fruit". The people producing the Canal Street Junk. Our guys have weathered this storm at least twice since I have been around.
DuDro Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 This will be blow over in a couple of months...
cougar1 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Pretty big takedown apparently one of the main rolex suppliers...not noob, has been involved, PO 42mm, some tag lady version and pam 300m gone down.

duke1973 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Here we go, blowing it all out of proportion when we don't know anything definite yet! Don't speculate, wait for the dealers to show up and tell us for sure what's been affected..... I'm sure it will put a damper on some reps but not all, so it's not the end of reps as we know them...........Yet.....
woof* Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Interestingly, There have been reports the last few days of military action and possible coup going on in Beijing.

Adeodatus Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Reps are very profitable business. This will never end, as long as there's money to be made. They may close a factory, but more will open a week after that. Plus bigger, more established factories simply pay officials to keep things quiet.
slask111 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 I will never get the Superocean II 44mm.... Its just fate..
HartDoc Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 My wife says the same thing has hit the rep bag side also. I think Fang still hasnt recovered yet.
permabull Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Noob Factory was closed for a few days in anticipation of these raids.

gran Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Posted March 23, 2012 http://focustaiwan.t...ID=201203220043 I have now heard of those Chinese microblog reports
Texas1999 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Good thing I ordered and received 6 reps over the last 6 weeks and didn't wait to pull the trigger. I only have one outstanding order left with Andrew -- a Rolex Classic SD -- but he hasn't mentioned anything about there being a problem filling the order.
