Sheeeeet, "customs charging", sounds a bit ominous, how much do they charge on a 3 grand watch?!Aaaarrgh. Balls, I hope it comes through :evil:


OK, just done a quick search, Im probably jumping the gun a bit! Never seen it say that before though.....

LOL , so what happened me man?
We get taxed enough and then they wanna tax us somemore on our fake merchandise! The barrstards!

 

[konigwolf]

its not just the tax! parcelforce also charge you for processing the package, then you have to pay a pound to get it released from the post office, coonts
over the years Ive bought about 500 things from the far east even airsoft rifles not one thing has been siezed or custom charged, but ive bought abot ten things from the states and every one have been caught and vat added. It will be ok :wink:

Mine is still in limbo - probably due to the Bank Holiday backlog.

Just ran out to the mailbox and thar she blows! My first rep from a dealer!! Almost cut the band in half opening the package with scissors (won't do that again!). Carefully shook the watch, set the date/time and wound it a few times. We have liftoff! Even the chrono works. Have taken some pics but gotta figure how to get them here from photobucket. Yippee!!

 

[Dewey Dog]

Please excuse the poor pics (and I mean poor!) as I figure this out. Hope you enjoy. I like this watch already! DD

D4me - thanks for the watch and ALSO thanks for the pic tutorial. Hope I haven't shamed you Obi-Wan!

 

[Importr]

Hey you did get that fast!!

I'm happy for you! Those lume dots look good (apart from the One, of course)

 

[Dewey Dog]

Not even trying my hand at dark room pics yet but trust me, the lume in the dark was pretty good!

 

[Matt Watch]

Nice & Fast, I wonder if mine will arrive today?
