I don't think many of the newer members here realize that 20-30 days has traditionally been the standard delivery time from China to CONUS.

I'm easy to hate. Ask my wife and kids. :whistle:

EMS tracking shows me heading into LA Customs on the 4th. So I'm right at ten days now. Hopefully it's only two days away from a wristie now. What puzzles me is why didn't it go through San Francisco customs. It's only 60 miles north of us. My last order went through SF, an Omega UPO from ToroBravo, was in/out of customs in a day.

I have one of the new MontBlanc Timewalkers from Puretime heading out next. Should have tracking numbers tonight. It'll be interesting if it goes through customs quicker than the Rolex.

Good luck on the shipment and the patience.

The real test of personal patience? I bought a blue Breitling SOH chrono off Del in Scotland, and am waiting on that. No tracking to try and fly under the radar... Faith, meet your Leap.

I asked for the six stick to be a little bit off just to be different, and straight cyclops are a personal pet peeve. That said, shaidx, I have another watch about to enter customs. Wanna race?

I'm not yet seeing mine on USPS, tomorrow morning I'd guess it should show leaving china. with my recent awesome luck, it'll be routed through LA customs. Weird though, cause SF is so close. Anyway, my hollow challenge is nothin but bravado. Keep you posted. And GLWC.
