Belgium - Mentor wanted

[Avok]

Hello,

As a noob from Belgium, I wondered if there are any more Belgians here.
I would make it far more easy for me to ask question in my native languages, and without flooding the board with noobquestions.

I've looked around for Belgians using the searchengine, but "Navigater" and "Zebulon" haven't really been active in the last year an Paul V not in last half year.

Hope someone reads this post and contacts me.

Kind regards

Avok

Oh, you are one of these guys going on German Autobahns with your trailer and block the traffic?

The license plate abbreviation for The Netherlands is NL, which translates into "Nur Links" in German (i.e. "only on the left").

And indeed, you'll find me and my BMW 540 touring mostly in the left-lane.

However, I have lived in Germany long enough to know that lane-discipline is what allows me to cruise at 200-250 km/h (125-160 mph) and that it is a CRIMINAL offense to loiter on the left.

In fact, I was sorely disappointed to see the new 7 series does not have a Howitzer mounted under the hood to take care of caravans or those pesky under-motorized idiots that see me coming, but nonetheless venture out ahead of me to overtake at 130km/h!!!

Hahaha

I'm surprised that you are aware of Belgian-Dutch 'politics' Guru.

Oh and Franklin, cant we sign a treaty, I'll keep buying cheese and tullips and you give me tips on dealers and EU customs.


5-series? 760i howitzer? Are you part of the upperclass dutchmen.

Hi there, I'm also Belgian. I was wondering if buying a pretty dang accurate Sevenfriday rep from aliexpress for around 260 dollars isn't going to get me a big fat customs invoice?
I am hesitating to order the M2- 1 M series from here :http://nl.aliexpress.com/item/Curre...ow-dial-Mechanical-watch-Men/32259788915.html because I don't want any surprises afterwards.
Anybody advice?

Hi Syncro,

In The Netherlands customs are pretty annoying. They tend to find a lot of watches. For Dutch people it's better to use triangular shipment through UK or any other country. Dutch customs don't check shipments from UK as thorougly as shipments from non-EU countries. It's a little bit more expensive but for me it's worth the less risk you have in paying for something you will never get

I don't have experience with Ali Express, it's best to order from trusted dealers.

Thanks for answering

I'm a noobie here so I'm not familiar with triangular shipping, and I have thought about buying from Tony / Asian 7750 but the particular model I'm looking for (M2-1M) is unfortunately not on his site.
I appreciate the effort of answering though!
