Poor Eddie, you all just want to replace his bracelets every time!
Anyone know what size screwdriver is needed to remove links in the stock bracelet?

Eddie,
Judging by the numbers turning up in this thread, it looks as though you’ve been been working extremely hard to get them shipped.
Thanks
Put mine on a Watch Obsession strap today, very pleased with the look.
That suits it well.
The black leather w/ white stitch looks amazing on it.
I agree, think it suits it better than the bracelet.
Agreed. That is a lovely combination. Really complement one another.
It certainly gives it a different look. They've come at a bad time for me. I really fancy one and seeing that picture really hasn't helped.
After a bit of cursing with the spring bars, and then a trip to a jeweller who had the proper twin spring bar removal tool, a white dial is now on a tropic. Diameter is nigh on perfect, but my, she's a big girl! I'm not sure I've had anything so tall before, so it's going to take some getting used to.
But as had already been said countless times, brilliant work Eddie.

Think I would like to try it with a black strap with white thread, perhaps padded. So many to choose from. Any suggestions of what and where?
The clasp in stock bracelet was a bit too bulky and uncomfortable for me. Just stuck it on a dimodell rallye and it’s so much better.

This is the strap I have.

Mine has arrived. The height isn't as much of an issue as I'd feared, so think I'll keep it for now.
Only downside is the bracelet. By which I just mean that you can't use the micro adjustment without the final link being forced at an angle and making the clasp stick out. So I've got to chose between slightly too loose or slightly too tight. Some of the screw pins on mine are also nigh on impossible to screw in or out. Oh, and did anyone else spot the missing word on the first page of the booklet?
I'm nit picking really. Overall though, a great but of kit from Eddie.
03/50 finally here after jumping through hoops with UPS and customs.

Mine has not moved at ups Kentucky so how did you manage to get it delivered and how much tax did you pay, considering we've paid vat.....?

I ended up with a ~$55 ICOD charge. As for the customs thing, I had a stressful dealing with them... UPS hands it to a customs agent and apparently did not give them the paperwork Eddie supplied them. I believe it was also on the package but they did not open it so I have no clue what the hell happened. I ended up forwarding them a copy of the form needed and it was released immediately.

Thanks for the info, I have exchanged some emails they tell me that...
Watches are one of the more complicated commodities to process for US customs.* The way watches are rated for US customs is broken out into 4 parts.* Each of those parts we need the materials *(which are provided on the website) and the value breakout of these parts (which is not).* We would generally reach out day 1 when the shipment is making entry, however the following comment is added under the Shipper comments.
*
PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT THE SHIPPER FOR THE WATCH INFO. PLEASE HOLD THE SHIPMENT AND WHEN THE SHIPMENT ARRIVES SEND AN OPEN PACKAGE REQUEST TO THE HUB FOR THE WATCH BREAKOUT. IF NOT WITH THE PACKAGE CONTACT THE IMPORTER FOR THE INFORMATION.
Then they tell me
***A*UPS Warehouse Fee*is applied to any held shipment after*two free business days. Thereafter, the warehouse fee will be*$20.00 USD per calendar dayplus $0.04 per pound per calendar day until the shipment’s release.* All shipments will be eligible for General Order (G.O.) warehousing by U.S. Customs on the*15th calendar day*after the shipment is imported into the United States.*

I told them what I paid for the watches and they want to know the individual cost of the parts!
Unbelievable!

Has it cleared yet? If not, I'll send you the breakout sheet. There's one in the documents pouch on the packet and I always give another one to my local depot for electronic transmission to UPS in the US. The US is the only country in the world requiring this document so UPS UK probably don't know what to do with it. I've had to supply another 4 so far this week.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
It isn't cleared yet or I have not had a reply to my last email telling me it has.
That would be very helpful,
thank you Eddie
