I just couldn't contain my excitement... I know I'm not the only one who gets more than a bit fidgety when they're expecting a new watch in the mail :D
grats anyways !!
Please Please let me guess?
Is it a big fat VAT bill at 20%. :blackeye:

Taxes are funny... I heard a USA citizen (not a watch) comment on visiting Oslo. They couldn't be as rich as he had heard... Too many old and small cars! Well, if you (big approxes here) tax income at 50% and then add 50% at least in tax on each car, your car buying power get's crushed!
I guess you could get a MB c-class in USA for the same money as a Toyota Yaris in Denmark, Denmark is even worse than Norway! In Denmark 24 000 EUR is the price for a BASE Yaris with no options! (I checked just now!) That's how much a C300 costs in USA!

If you add to this how much more you tax income in Norway (and Denmark) compared to the USA no wonder why Norway is rich but have old and small cars...
Take care and enjoy your watch! Let's hope that Schweiz joins the EU, I wouldn't mind buying watches at 8% VAT from them!

At the moment Cyprus and Luxembourg has the lowest EU VAT at 15%.
It didn't arrive :( Looks like they're calculating that duty bill...
19% !

Yeah, but they have top notch schoolznhospitalz and social servicez :roll:
How could they possibly do that without punishing tax rates? :evil:
OP, I hope you don't get hit with VAT and fees on this one, but enjoy your new watch even if you do :)
Taxes are funny...Do they stop for you?
Pulsar chrono from Argos?
It arrived at last. Sincerest apologies for the utterly crap photo, my BlackBerry's camera is pretty bad. I'll take a better one at home tonight when I get the Di-Modell Jumbo on it.
Nice Ollech and Wajs. Like the little touch of red on the dial and seconds hand.
regards,
Nick
Congratulations

Classy looking watch.
Here are some much better photos. And I whacked it on a tan Di-Modell Jumbo, which suits it quite well I think. What say you chaps?
There are some marks on the underside of the glass which show if the light hits it in a certain way. At the weekend I'll take it to a good watchmaker in the city and find out if I can get sapphire crystal for it.
Very nice, congrats :thumbright:
Good looking watch,, wear it in good health
:)
Holy Moly!! :shock:In Denmark 24 000 EUR is the price for a BASE Yaris with no options! (I checked just now!) That's how much a C300 costs in USA!
Nice watch BTW, O&W are underrated IMO.
No ideas on what it is but that tracking system looks better than the one i had to use last time LOL
