After a lot of help and advice from forum members and mod's I decided to order from Sead's Italian stock.
I e-mailed Sead on 10/6/23
Sead replied within a few hours and sent me QC photo's
Sead gave me payment details and I immediately transferred the money using Revolut
The payment failed twice (due to Sead's bank not being on Revolut's SEPA instant transfer list) but went through the 3rd time. It seems that this is common with Revolut, and after 2 failed transfers they sent it the "old fashioned way", and I sent a screen shot of the transfer details
Sead sent me the tracking number a couple of days later
I monitored the progress of the package through the Italian postal system until it got to the distribution centre, where it stayed for just over 9 days. I have read loads of advice saying be patient etc, but I had a bit of a wobble and e-mailed Sead asking if there may be a problem, he replied straight away, giving reassurance that it would arrive.
Sure enough, a few days later the watch arrived, and I really couldn't be happier, I am blown away by the quality
Thank you Sead
ps. I am already in discussion with him for a watch for my wife
