Mine did not even leave China, it actually still has the status "Held by Customs". Grrrgrrgrrrrr...
My experience is that things can get lost or delivered late during these festive seasons. But Santa might come to the rescue. [emoji1]

Jewellery, Watches, Women and Money. I want all of them.

I've been wanting to get this for the longest time, but seems like from the comments on this forum in regards of the movement is a little shaky... Can you guys kindly explain the pros and cons on this piece please? Thanks!!

Are the shipping with EMS?
I have recently experienced that package that have been on it's way and when I have used my normal track checking site http://www.ems.com.cn/english.html the status have been just like yours, custom hold (in china).
When instead using either https://www.17track.net/en or http://www.ems.post/tracking I had better info.
Think it is something wrong with first site or bad update on tracking included bad translation.
By the way, my package did arrive without any trouble.

When i can buy a decent strap with a right price?

I suppose it depends what you class as a decent strap?
I would suggest you say what you want to pay for a strap and people can give their opinion on what they think is the best you can get for that.

I have a Rios that was about that cost and is pretty good.
I can't comment on the other straps from makers commonly mentioned on here as I don't have any of those, perhaps others can chime in?

Yes, it's EMS, thank you for the alternative tracking sites. I usually have an additional look at http://www.parcelforce.com.track-trace, however none of them does have any other information than "Forwarded for export" or "Departed from export office" as of yet, so I am afraid that's indeed bad luck.

No problem, glad if it was to any help at all, and that status that you got "Departed from export office" was the last status that I got before it arrived in Sweden 3 days later, so it's looking allright so far I guess for you with the shipping, but I guess that the holidays might make the shipping and arrivel time 1 or 2 days longer for you.
Atleast it's seems not to be stuck in customs in China :)

If that would be the case I'd only be too glad, otherwhise that would be the second parcel from WS getting lost within only one year. Fingers crossed... actually I am still worried, of course. ;)

They are not worried about the timekeeping, just how it looks on a strap. We may never know how this thing runs:hypnotized:

Too much faffing around going on, I'm enjoying wearing all mine, all of them keep perfect time.

Here's my Christmas Day wrist shot [emoji41]

Hey Guys! Does anyone have this watch on a 21/18 strap? Ordered one for the Pilot Chrono Spitfire but I'm having second thoughts about the movement. So I might just end up ordering the ZF 5001-06 V2. This is the strap

I2UG26A.jpg


Could it work or will the gap between the strap and the lug be an eyesore? If anyone who has the watch and a 21/18 strap be willing to share a picture with the strap on, it'll be a really big help! Otherwise I'll keep this strap for the 3777 or the LPP and get another for the 5001, and be poorer than I already am!

Thanks in advance!

Cheers
