Actually, when customs officers have doubts about an item that might be counterfeit, they can keep it until a brand representative states about it. if it's obvious, they just seize the item and you'll have to pay a fee to close the file and stop pursuits. The amount of the fee depends of the item, quantity, purpose (personal use or resale), its value and if you are a first timer. You can refuse to pay but then you go on trial. Two years ago, I ordered gen A&F clothes from A&F original website. The parcel was seized and delayed for 3 months before being cleared. I called several times to know what was going on, they were always saying the items were going under verification. Finally, I got a phone call asking me to come to customs department as officers had to ask me some questions. They were suspicious because A&F clothes labels were saying they were made in several countries, so they sent one of my tee to the brand representative in France, then in the USA to know if they were gen or not! After 3 months, nobody was able to confirm they were gen (and they were as I ordered them on the website!!!) and they finally released the parcel. I spent 2 hours there, and had to explain why I did order clothes in the USA, why there was different sizes, and so on... Sp guys be careful and don't mess with French customs, they can really annoy you... --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=43.382103,-1.654883

Hi mates I have gotten a noob insert last month, not yet installed... Will post pics of it soon for appreciation. The pearl is different. About the dial, do you think it would be interesting to send it to The Zigmeister for a relume? --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=43.382372,-1.654833

My MBW 1680 came fitted with a silver DW, the same one as the DW I bougt from ETZ 2 or 3 yrs ago. Your DW was white? --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=43.601295,1.447764

The insert is missing, cyclop is wrong and bracelet is crap...

Ask for a single sided AR xtal with 6mm cyclop Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

Oh that's a pity! Xtals from the Ultimate serie are usually not so bad... You can try to get a xtal from DSN... Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

Nice work, but hands are definitely too white :-( Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

Bezel font isn't bold enough...

Sorry Freddy. The article says french Customs seized 1500 counterfeit articles at the french post despatching center. They narrowed the inspections to parcels coming from China, HK, and Taiwan. Usually, parcels shipped through Airmail were not as checked as ones shipped via express... Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

Parcels coming from China and shipped via express mail were checked by Customs very often. Airmail was slower but safer... Now it's over: http://www.leparisien.fr/essonne-91/essonne-1500-articles-contrefaits-saisis-au-centre-de-tri-postal-01-08-2011-1551904.php

You're right Pete, I guess I will maybe send him the watch, I've read hands reluming wasn't easy...

Thank you for your answer. Hands are not tritium, only dial markers are. Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

Hi mates, I plan to relume the hands of my 187. I have found many tutorials on the net, but would need some help... Which solvent to use to remove the old lume on the hands? What's the good color for the 187 hands: C1, C3 or C1+C3? Thanks! Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

Ah ah ah you're right Pete, it's really heavy, maybe too much... I am glad my 305 is titanium-made... Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk
