air king from supermirrors

After reading many posts on this forum I decided to pull the trigger and buy a Air King. Not the most popular watch but I like them and since trying a gen on at the local dealers only to be told there was a waitlist to get one here I am.
I reached out to three TD,s on here asking about the availability of an Air King 126900 vsf 1:1 vs 3230. The first TD never got back to me. The second Li from JTime could get one for $498 +$65 postage.There would be 3-5 days to get QC pics then 5-10 days shipping.
To get a comparison and again taking account of reading the comments on here I asked Sead from Supermirrors if he could source an Air King. $509 inc postage.
As luck would have it he had one in the UK .Sent the Pics the day after first contact and estimated I Would receive the watch with in a few days.
I was asked to pay by sapa which was unworkable for me ( I'm totally useless at this stuff) so he gave me an easier uk bank account to make payment to.
So just waiting now for watch to arrive.

I've got a new watch
Talking to Sead he expected my Watch to arrive on Tuesday at 1.00 with Royal Mail.
Tuesday came and went, no watch.
By Wednesday 2.30 I asked Sead for the tracking No.
The watch seemed to be stuck at Gatwick MO.
At the end of the day the watch was on the move again over night to Nottingham. All seemed OK.
Thursday Morning the watch had shipped to Manchester!
Come Friday morning it had made its way over night to Nottingham and had been despatched to Newark.
And 1.00 on the dot was delivered to me.
The watch is great.
If I was being picky the screws in the bracelet needed nipping up and the manual wind is not quite as smooth and the tick is louder than the real thing. But for the price it's a great watch.
Sead replied to all of my emails and helped me when I had a problem with the first method of payment.
When I want to buy another I would have no reservations in using him again

Your UK mail sounds as bad as ours here in the states!

it used to be really good, but not any more.
I think it was sold to a private company.
