Because for my 1680 i asked to RA don't touch the Dial but open the Dial Seat and the dial Windows , for avoid that the minute indices are cover .. see the write T<25 that have more space below..

Beone21 Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 No unfortunately because this is a mbk I do not have a gen dial. He machined a mbk ones for me to accommodate a gen dial.

A little advice of me. When using anything regarding Italy with shipping, use UPS. A little more costly but it's worth it and your shit will deliver. Even faster than regular mail. In comparison with losing $1700, the 30€ extra for shipping don't hurt, do they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan71 Posted November 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Yes , right , but now is too late..the next shipping i use UPS ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickFlorida Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Oh no dude. I hope you get your watch. I'm gonna send RoloJack my watch in a few weeks to France. I wonder what service is safest for to and from U.S. and France? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan71 Posted November 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Arrived these evening ..I don't know the France postal system ..In Italy the problem is that the courrier company hire foreign worker with lower skill ..also there are warehouse robber , but in my personal experience I have received always all..Other problem is the strict custom for law about counterfeiting ..the watch is amazing only he have get a hit during the transport because the dial moved/ rotate on the left and the hand are free , the next days I check with my watchsmit, maybe the dial and dwo break off from movement ..

Dan71 Posted November 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Now I tell you a little story about yesterday.. A scary evening .The traking said that the parcel was on delivery so I wait it at home.Than in the late afternoon the traking said delivered , i check on my mail box but I haven't received anithing! So I call Posteitaliane and they said to send a write claim and than they will reply to me by 45 days :-( I'm very depressed I figured that the courrier have stolen the watch and all the part end work modding was lost..or that he have delivered to another address in my city.Than later I drag me and my depression out of my house and I check the mail box and i found the parcel ! The driver maybe was on delay and don't wait my sign for acceptance ..Bad experience guys .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueTip Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Yeah, that has happened to me a lot too. I've had parcels containing builds of a few thousand bucks and also gens that needed my signature and were insured sit in front of my door or the garden and the post man faking my signature.

Dan71 Posted November 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) I forgot to mention ( if isn't contrary to rwg rule ) that the problem on the dial/ movement that collapsed throughout the journey France - Italy I suppose for a bump , was fix today by my Italy friend nick : "Harleysta91" "Orologiaio" on RWI "la dolce vita" section. see him during operation Edited November 12, 2016 by Dan71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
