horologist Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 I tried to order a watch through some of our trusted dealers whom I have dealt with in the past , who are also well aware of my contact details! Just about every model I asked about was sold out! I was then informed that there has been a raid on the factories and have been shut down! I was shell shocked!! Has anyone else heard about this?

kernow Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Yes, sadly it seems true. I’ve heard that some factories may not reopen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 Hmm interesting, does this mean reps will increase in value I wonder.................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezio Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 Got The same message. But slow and steady they gonna open. Took a week for gmf to open up again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timelord Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 This is going t impact some of our trusted dealers too! Hopefully, what has happened is just a storm in a teacup! By the way, who are our remaining trusted dealers? I just had a look at the introductory post written many moons ago for new comers and most of those dealer sites may need updating! So many greats of this hobby have also vanished like TC, Paul, The Zigmeister and Jackjo to mention a few😒. The world is a sadder place🤧 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my tin foil hat on and I bet this certainly is the reason for this supposed "Raids"... In my mind its more of a "Raise" in prices... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Raids have happened many times in the past, and they always reopen with a corresponding uptick in prices. Now that we’ve been COVIDified watch for a biiiiig uptick in prices. Heck go to DhGate and they’re swimming in reps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 VSF and ARF got hit the hardest according my TD of choice. I’ve had “parts” on order for over 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 The lengths they go to to replicate the authentic Rolex AD purchasing experience are impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
