So the word "processed" here means what exactly? Scanned by one of those machines that can confirm there is in fact a wristwatch in the package? Or, run through a more sophisticated scanner that can also ID inaccurate fonts and font spacing on dials? My guess is all this really means is that Rolex Enforcer beagles smell the package to ensure no watch cases made of Nylabone or jerky get smuggled into the country.

Any other guesses? Real or imagined. Am I foolishly tempting fate by posting this question before my package makes it through customs?

I suspect something similar is happening with my situation. It's been 3 days with no update. Probably the Rolex Enforcer beagles haven't been taught to use the tracking scanners.

This is funny. Hopefully all goes well.

Hopefully it doesn't get seized. I've had a watch returned to sender once. And other times it's been inspected and made it through fine.
Customs always takes a long time either way unfortunately

so any update yet?

Hey sorry, was traveling for the past few weeks. Yes, watch arrived a few days after my initial post. No issues at all, just fell off the tracking radar between customs and final address.

Glad to hear you got it. I’ve got one that was supposed to arrive Saturday (conus to conus) but it didn’t arrive and dropped off the tracking radar; in transit to next facility. USPS tracking system is pretty hit or miss I suppose.

It’s probably being tracked by Customs. Don’t wear it outside your home for the next few months. Store it in a box in you basement. Preferably a lead box.

Thanks for the advice. I intend to cover my left arm with a black plastic garbage bag to avoid detection.
