Nice catch. Please post pics and a review when it arrives.
Cool, congratulations on the purchase.
That's one I'd like to own some day.
Congratulations. From what I've read about it, it's a superbly made watch, with one of the most accurate movements in it.
Looking forward to seeing pics (and review :-D), as it's not a watch you often see on the forum.
Well done
Enjoy !!!!
I will be really interested to see that. Enjoy it....
Nice work. Be sure to post pics when it arrives.
Update for the masses. Dreaded customs notification awaits...

Just go to the depot with the tracking number – they'll tell you the amount owed and accept payment, and you get to walk out with your new watch. Couldn't be simpler.
Thanks. Just checked the location, missed today's opening times. Will try tomorrow.
Make sure you've ID and something with your address on it, like the water/gas/leccy bill or something substantial. An old letter from your Aunty Margaret won't really work, unless your surname is Thatcher, and has her letterhead on it, etc.
Good choice! I own the 0957 titanium version. Lovely little watch :)
Please post pics when you recieve it.
Cheers!
That is a brilliant watch, congratulations.
Picked up the watch from the depot...Got a shock when presented with the bill from the tax man. Appears that sender had declared a value JY 30,0000 higher on the customs notification than that on the invoice. Very disappointed.
Haven't had time to take pics but have already dispensed with the deployment buckle. I don't really like them and have replaced with a stock buckle. Wore it in the afternoon/evening. The lume is really terrific. Although it is smaller in diameter to my Rolex explorer 1 (36mm), it wears larger. So far very impressed.
Pics in the near future.
Very strange... Why would he do that? I assume you paid the amount on the invoice for the watch.Quote:

That is very tasty indeed, klock. Thanks for the great picture.
How is it going, t4? Any chance of some pics?
Thanks, but then I sold it to a friend who is really into HEQ. I feel a bit like a con-man now... :)Quote:

How much did customs sting you for?
