Buyers ANDIOT - VSF Daytona 126500
Hello everyone, after spending way too much time reading this subreddit, I finally decided to pull the trigger and order my first rep.
I read all the guides and a lot of reviews, it was really helpful so thank you for that.
I chose one of my favorite pieces, the 126500 Daytona, and for the factory, I went with the classic recommendation, VSF.
For the TD, I went with Andiot mainly for the prices, but also for their website and the smoothness of the process.
After sending a message to Eliott to confirm availability, I proceeded with the full payment.
Here is the timeline :
- Order and payment on 04/13/2026
- Payment approved on 04/15/2026
- 1QC and RL on 04/16/2026
- 2nd QC and GL on 04/23/2026
- Tracking number provided on 04/27/2026
- Watch received on 05/15/2026
During all the process, Eliott always replied professionally (fast and not with a lot of word, which is understandable).
The first RL was because of the subdials thickness, a known problem in the late batches at the time of the order, and after confirming with me the RL, they said they will provide another QC.
The second QC was perfect so I GL’ed (a slightly twisted 6 marker, but first I don’t care about that and second, it’s a rep so that’s life) and I was surprised since I received it only a week after the first one.
Then the tracking number was provided, and the waiting game began. Customs were very smooth, and tracking number updated frequently. It took its time mainly because of national holidays in China et 3 days of public holidays in my country.
The watch arrived this morning, and from what I have seen, I’m really happy about it and since I broke my knee years ago, I don’t plan to go skiing so I think I’m fine.
Thank you all for this subreddit again, and I think I have fallen deep into the rabbit hole.
Have a great day !
