daeffy 0 Posted April 20, 2013 Got 4 watches order order , 2 each from 2 different TDs. Been waiting for the TDs to find them for a month. Been reciting the mantra "Reps = Patience" "Reps = Patience" Curious : what's the longest time you've waited for a TD to find your rep before you gave up and requested an alternative watch or a refund?

tanweekiat 0 Posted April 20, 2013 Normally I will send the watch request I want to one TD to ask for stock, if he has it then I will send the money. If no stock, I will send email to the next TD in line. This goes on till I run out of TD, I will turn to forum search and PM those who share pic of the watch I want. (The famous GO Senator Sixties for e.g. Anyone willing to sell please PM me) Normally if the TD have stock, the longest I waited is 2 weeks to get the QC pic and 3 weeks to get it by post.

arancini 0 Posted April 20, 2013 Three months for a Noob 127 e. Then when it finally did arrive, found it wore too big and sold it. A member here really got a great deal on that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RussP 22,759 Posted April 20, 2013 1.5 months !! My very first rep purchase from a TD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheSav 2 Posted April 20, 2013 I've only placed 3 orders through 3 different TD's and all of them have only taken a month from payment to me receiving my parcel. I guess I've been lucky thus far. What are the 4 watches you have on order? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnS 0 Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) I ordered 3 watches on 3/25 (all from the same TD). I'm hoping to get them by next friday on 4/26. So, 5 weeks. But I have nothing to compare this to, since this is my first transaction. I'm in California, btw. Edited April 20, 2013 by JohnS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simon That's what I did. Both said they could get watches, then came back and said not in stock - I guess this is understandable since they have usually don't have them "in hand" and have to go to factory.

What are the 4 watches you have on order? I know I sounds like Josh's butt boy, but if I had ordered from him I'd have had these 2 weeks ago at least.

WARBOT 0 Posted April 20, 2013 OMG!!!! I'm glad we share the same taste in watches. Those exact 4 are on my want list. The first Oris is a real beauty!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheSav 2 Posted April 20, 2013 I'm surprised they are having trouble sourcing the PO's. I'd have thought they be shipping them out by the container load. I really like that first Oris. What model is that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrish8 0 Posted April 20, 2013 Got my Oris Carlos Coste from Silix took Mark only a few days to source it. Ordered it early april got to my door april 15th. I think Timeshop also has it in stock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jozobo 0 Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) How is the quality of the Oris Carlos Coste? read an older review that the fake helium vavle had to be glued in and it was + 20 sec a day. I'm guessing its not changed in the last years? Edited April 20, 2013 by jozobo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 85 Posted April 20, 2013 Curious : what's the longest time you've waited for a TD to find your rep before you gave up and requested an alternative watch or a refund? 4 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeLaForce 2 Posted April 20, 2013 3 months after sending payment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyKrush 16 Posted April 20, 2013 Curious : what's the longest time you've waited for a TD to "find your rep" before you gave up and requested an alternative watch or a refund? Have never waited. If a TD ends up saying the watch isn't available after you've placed the order I ask for a refund or move to another watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
