I contacted Sead on 09/25 when i saw that this watch was in the UK stock.

09/26: QC received. This day I requested the timegrapher numbers.
09/27: Timegrapher photo received.
09/28: Payment done by bank transfer. This day I send the shipment information.

Haven't received any info from Seed since 28th. Still waiting for the tracking number to be provided. I thought it would be faster since it was in EU stock, in fact i chose Supermirrors because of this.

mate, the 29 was friday and now we are in the week end.
The guy has a family and deserves his week ends.
True.. and I just found out that they are on holidays in China.

Bad luck for me and I'm glad for them !!

take into account that he isn’t Amazon.
Keep calm & give him some time.

He is very busy and sometimes not so much into follow up.

You may drop him a polite mail & request shipping number again.

However, he is very reliable.
Last time he provided me shipping number a few days after payment, while I received the package the day after.

well if you had ordered from a China TD, you would have had the holidays too. So all in all, Sead will still be much faster

Hello same here :) I have the traking number, but the n° is not "alive yet". Some on reddit told me it is normal.

I choosed super mirrors for the UE stock also. Maybe ours CF 36 explorer weren't on UE actually.

Great ! I guess that the watches weren't in the UK really. It doesn't really matter as long as they arrive !

That's right !
I just hope there are no problems with the movement. The most noticeable difference with my gen is that the hands are not white gold and sometimes this is noticeable and any interaction with the movement is no nearly as smooth/robust. But I'd say these are pretty small things, for the price you get a great product, no doubt.
