For the record I sent Watch Station an email asking how likely they think it is to turn up at this point and when I should think about re-ordering and I had a reply from Francis not to worry as it'll turn up soon, and that this sometimes happens, so we'll just see

Mine has gone. Seized and destroyed by UK border force. I got the letter on Saturday.

I'm starting to realise now from various advice EMS wasn't my best option. It's just what all the TDs seem to use by default so I stuck with it.
Next time I'll be asking for China Post or DHL.
Well I'm still in disbelief but check out what was waiting for me at work this morning... (Excuse the horrible picture)
That's made my week! Full review incoming as I don't think there is one for this version yet! What a stunner, this watch is so underrated it's criminal!

In my country, Spain , all Expedited shipping as EMS , DHL, UPS, pass through customs. Those who do not usually stop which are almost never take about 10-25 days , and China Post Air Mail or Singapore Post, etc .
By EMS stop some, by China Post Air Mail almost none, they stop ALL packages DHL , DHL would not recommend NEVER

Chronos are perfect, watch works perfect and looks absolutely stunning in the flesh. This has to be one of the most underrated reps out there.
I hear you, maybe I will avoid DHL then. If there isn't a thread already about safest shipping method to UK I will start one before placing another order!
The AR is colourless and really good btw, theres a tinted windscreen on the work car which is making it look green!

Looks great britain.
Totally agree the watch needs a new strap - the rep one feels cheap and looks like plastic.
Not sure if a gen deployant is really worth it though.
To me the rep clasp looks the part and works fine.
Curious as to what Tag charges for a new one.
Anyway, wear it in good health - now you need to order the blue dial.
Thank you chaps appreciate the positive comments.
Yep new croc strap is first on the list. Debating on going black like the gen or switching it up a bit. Might get both!
With the deployant I'm in 2 minds, the rep one does indeed look fine and work fine but mine's just lacking in that quality feel compared to a gen one (mainly sharp edges and mine's tricky to click in properly). I'll try doing some work on the rep one first. It is different to the TD pic so maybe yours is different to mine.
New I think they're about $240, I've seen a new one for $150 or so on eBay. I really love this watch so to me it would be worth it for the gen feel.
Thank you my friend and yes that's definitely on my shopping list now!
