Thread: A gift from a friend in the US

    A gift from a friend in the US

    Hi all

    Got home from work, today, to a pleasant surprise. A package from a friend in the US. Totally unexpected, this was a thankyou for some mil watch parts I had sent to help in the restoration of a British issue watch.

    Here's my surprise gift - a Sandy 590 with US flag on the dial :lol:




    Cheers

    Foggy

    Excellent Foggy. I received a gift from a good customer in the USA a few years ago which could have landed me in jail. I mentioned that I frequently took valuable consignments to the post office so he sent me a large aerosol of pepper spray, "just in case". He also offered to send me a gun :shock:

    Nice watch! By co-incidence, I came across [edited out the link, it died], looks you got a bit of a collector's item!

    Cheers,
