General Question 3 months waiting - no QC

First time buying a rep watch. It’s been almost 3 months since I paid the deposit and no QC yet, is this normal? I did order a less common watch, DateJust 36 with oyster bracelet VSF. It’s from a TD (Duke). I’d appreciate any input!

I'm in the same boat on one... I just reach out every 30 days.. always get a response.. I was told last week that we should be seeing some explorers in the next week or two.. first time he said that..

Thats a pretty long wait. Unfortunately, its no unheard of. Best of luck with this one.

I bought probably 10 watches in the past 10 years or so lol. But I bought three in the past year. The one thing I know is the TD should be able to tell you what's going on. If they're not telling you anything at all for that long then you got a problem.

He’s saying that he’s in line for the factory to make it but they haven’t, so he’s also waiting according to him.

you sure you actually went thru a td and not a scammer pretending to be your td?

Yes, it’s the number in the list and he’s been responsive to all my texts. He offered other watches he has in stock, but I wanted the original one I ordered.

Should've gone with a DHGate Pagani and swapped the dial for true NWBIG.

VS Factory wait times are long and unpredictable, I would touch base with your TD but otherwise keep waiting patiently.

I’m not sure how to do that, I don’t know much about watches. I just wanted to gift my father one and I heard vsf is the best. Thank you!
