Be aware of DHL... With watches... Most dealers won't send Rolex or Tag by them.... UK customs is a strange bird... And very much a lottery... You can have packages opened and just re packed , you can have one rep removed and one rep seized, sometimes they mark package up with a yellow customs examination sticker, other times no sticker but still opened...occasionally they get seized... And if they do believe it or not your name or address is not blacklisted... That's an urban myth... I had a package 2 weeks ago and one watch was taken a PAM and the LW was sent onto me... I had another 3 packages after that all opened and none seized including a PAM... I then had 2 packages seized... A PAM, 2 Rolex , a JL and an AP.... And after they were seized and letters from border agency received I had 7 packages all come in...all to same name and address... So it's a lottery however when compared to other countries in EU the risks are much lower I spoke to a guy who worked for FedEx at uk customs... He explained how packages were checked and sorted.... He also explained what level you have to be as an importer to get an alert against your details... As punters here we are not warranted... Generally if you are showing as tracking info... As "Awaiting Customs Clearance" or "forwarded for processing" and still in "international hub" but your package is in that state for 5 days (not including weekends) then your package has been set aside for inspection if it's over 7 chances are you will get a letter from border agency... I have had 4 such letters.... Though sometimes you may be lucky if it's after 7 but it's certainly being opened... It seems they only seize if the brands agent is available on site, they are only there part time so if your package is opened when say the Richemont guy is there then your PAM will be taken.... But if it's the day the Rolex guy is there and not thevRichemont then the Rolex will be seized and the Pam sent on... I have even learned the names of some of the brand agents after all my experiences.... They all work on the basis that everything from china is fake... But brand agents they tend to focus thier attention in clothing and accessories...and bulky orders like wholesale orders..

I found it interesting, maybe the experts here have a view on it http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=di59iCDPEmo

Ending the work week wearing 1 of my DJs

I have come to realise that Toro and this hobby in general is not good for my economy. He replies wat to fast on questions, QC and ship watches so fast that I just want to give him more money So many stunning watches and when you can't decide which one you like the most, you just have to buy all that you like? I can't se any other reasonable solution, can you? I am pretty sure that most of you can relate to this... If this keeps up at this rate I'll soon have more watches then i have shorts. Already have my next order planned thats going to be placed this weekend most likely. After that order i probably have to lock my creditcard in a safe and swallow the key, alternatively stay away from this and the dealers pages for a month so Good thing me and my girlfriend split up aswell, otherwise she would be yelling at me to Excuse all the ramble and good night RWG.

Wearing this again. Forget about the hands color.

If these are older 2846 movements, they are easy to service and strong work horses. Plus they beat at the correct rate for a vintage Rolex. So you are doing great at this point. The dealer should edit their web site to reflect the true movement.

It's already here http://puretime-asia.com/product/pam382-n-bronzo-zf-11-best-edition-on-brown-distressed-calfskin-strap-p9000/

Oh sorry in video could not see new color of dial and such vid went fast bad eyes, should be along................. like it a lot the blue is nice.................!

------ I am planning a "Military Gauss" homage Dial and hands from Raffles & a Milgauss case from Parnis

have to wait until i can swap the new bezel insert. in the meantime ..

It'll do the job for now anyways. I'll obviously buy better reps when I'm more in the game but for now it'll do.

Haven't worn this one in a loooooong time...

Thanks for your support Rod

I guess a little less looky looky from good old USA I have shipped Marti like 5 no problem, UK no problem from their cousins across the pond,many many.............. shipped. I would think China sends up red flags all over the customs boards in EU and UK for that matter.

Not to worry I have more watches than I have fingers and toes X 2 !
