Agreed panerai153. This could be a developing trend in the customs world and if/when (more likely when) the other customs port of entry locations catch wind of this, they might develop the same practices and create a widespread bolo. Or this is just scare tactics and they have added extra personnel to go thru more boxes in order to facilitate a panic button response and scare people from wanting to order counterfeit goods and it will die down at some point.
Yes, give the bracelet a nice oil bath Also, the watch needs be fully charged or have a decent charge for the chrono's to function properly and not affect the movement. Looks great on that leather strap!
Crappy cell phone shot of my SMP geinstein fresh back from my watch-smith for a tune-up on genuine alligator strap. Nothing beats real alligator leather. So smooth
maybe I read this wrong op but cancelling and order after you've already paid because you change your mind about to watch is kind of jacked up. I've made impulse purchases that I've regretted but you make your bed and you lie in it. just my 2 cents.
