  1. I inquired about those watches box 2 weeks ago (the "sale" is there for a while now)

    Being in Canada, it was just too expensive for a "defective" box. They asked the $27 for the box + $22 shipping + $4 paypal + $11 for custom (since they didn't want to help for that)

    So $64 was just too high. I got one by Acetimer for $40 all included instead.

    I wanted a 4-watch travel case for Panerai. Price $29,95 , freight $75!!!!

    :o

    No order from me.

  2. So far I have now 4 ETA reps which are all 15 seconds per day fast. Seems to me if they can be 15 seconds fast per day, consistently, then they could be within 1 second per day consistently.

    I managed to regulate a chap asian chrono movement to within 1 second per day (still within 1 second after 3 days actually).

    I did this by nudging the balance spring lever. On the ETA's I see a little screw with a +/- next to it and a wishbone around it. Am I correct in assuming that turning this screw is the way to regulate these movements (same effect as nudging the lever regulator on my asian movement)?

    15 seconds a day makes 7.5 minutes a month. That's just way to off for any decent watch, mechanical or not. ...especially considering that the cheap screw down crowns don't really give me much confidence that they can handle regular time adjustments.

    Maybe its the watch you compare them all with thats 15 seconds slow :g:

  3. After a long wait with customs snatching the first watch, and Trustys partner forgetting to ship the watch in the second package, its finally here - Trusty can be trusted, as always!!

    I really hate the rubber strap on it though. Anyone with an 063 who can recommend a nice strap?

  4. Funny, I once got a package from thailand and I got a "tracking" number for a Registered article and I could check the status very well through dhl.de once the plane landed in germany. It showed me when it got into customs, when it left customs, and when it was in my mailman's bag for delivery. Doesnt work always, but sometimes it works.

    I would be surprised if DHL didn't offer tracking :)
