​

I'll keep this short. There have been some raids recently that have led to some shut downs for the major factories.

The following factories are closed and won't be open until late April/early May:

• VSF (Rolex, Panerai, Omega) - one of their parts suppliers was raided, so the supply chain is slowed down. The main VSF group has not been affected.
• V6F (lots of reps) - Same supply chain as VSF..
• VRF (Pepsi GMT, and a few other great reps)
• PPF (Nautilus)
• Noob (Rolex, and a few other brands) - Lots of rumors floating around. The fact remains - Noob spreads warehousing and production across multiple locations, and if the boss is arrested (still an unconfirmed rumor), they will likely come back as usual. Noob has told multiple TDs they will be back by the end of April.

Factories still running:

• BP/GMF
• ZF
• XF/JF
• Other smaller factories

Most TDs have stopped taking orders for the closed factories. You can still ask if they have stock of a model you like, but you may not be in luck if it's not in their existing inventory. If you have any other news that is confirmed from a TD please post it below.
