Never been one to care about movement, as long as the watch works then its good in my books.
PT shows a photo of the movement. I dont see why he would dodge the movement after posting photos of it. Wouldnt make sense would it?

Anybody know how long it takes for EMS shipping from China to UK? I just know FEDEX can do that in 3 days. Because my V3 is since friday at EMS and still at Guangzhou

I usually allow a full week for EMS. Im from sydney so that could even be a shorter distance.

Looked at the website: Seagull 2824 clone, should be good. Will order a V3 soon.

Expectations for shipping - 6-8 business days for EMS worldwide - smooth customs clearance no issues.

That long awaited knock at the door .....

Patience is a virtue which evidently you do not possess.

FYI - I would suspect your parcel is in transit. That meaning it hasn't quite reached the next scan gate. More often than not your parcel will arrive to your wrist well before the EMS tracking system updates itself.

Now sit down, remain calm , have a cold can and try and smile !

I certainly have patience boys but for some reason its said that "its arrived at sorting center" for the past week?
Is this normal, i would have it by now usually.

Have to agree with you chaps. Very much a concern if your still waiting after this amount of time.

I think there may be an issue at EMS with their tracking/updating system and/or they are backed up with parcel delivery.

It does not seem to be centered in one region but rather world wide.

Will have to make some enquiries I think.

I think it's the delay in update as I have gotten tracking information that it has arrived in my country.

And believe me, i was checking my parcel app 10-20 times a day, only to see it stuck in Guangzhou.

Lo behold, i refreshed the app and it has arrived on my very shores.

So yes, i think everyone's packages should be in transit, and the very moment it hits your location, the tracking information should reflect that. I CANT wait!!! Just thought I should chime in to those patiently waiting.

I've received my v3 but my orders from Ryan (project x and v5) have been stuck at international sorting center in San Francisco for almost a week - and they shipped the same date -and arrived at ISC on same date....

No update since last week. Starting to worry that they may be undergoing a customs interception...

See attached...

I would not worry until the letter comes in the mail. Many times customs is just inefficient and not updating. Good luck.

Chris3007, that movement shot would be much appreciated here. Thanks.

Few movement shots

Now that looks like a nice clean movement, not your usual dirty grubby:popcorn:

The rotor looks very nice. You can not see him, but you know that he is there. I like that.

I ordered a V3 today, but I do not think the case is much different from HFAC.
My plan is to make V3 better, Lol.

I must have had a really bad hfac FC... This one is 100x better in just about every way, especially the case. Not to mention poor movement, cloudy crystal, etc...... The only thing the hfac has going for it, is its priced lower. Again, I might have just had a really bad one...
