My opinion is that it's the most save way to buy within the EU.
If you decide to go to the Far East with your purchase the only more or less save way is reg airmail.
Then again i got a watch conviscated 2 weeks ago that came via reg airmail out of China.
Indeed we are a strange country but there is a difference in traveling 2 times a year abroad or sending 2 watches every dat by post.

Dear members,
maybe you could help me out. I'm looking for a 27/24 or even 27/22 strap for my Radiomir.
The only one i can find , except the EOM ofcourse , is the SC
Does anyone have some suggestions

I'm a little bit confused when i look at the position of the winding crown and the second hand.
Then again if never seen an 6497 ETA movement where teh second wasn't positioned oposite of the winding crown.

Dear members,
all these positive remarks and nice words give me a lot of strenght to fight my cancer.
There is not a lot of news at the moment i'm getting more energy every day.
The orthopedic surgeon told me that i have to stay in my wheelchair untill 10th of March.
The next to weeks will be of great importance . Next week i will visit my urologist and the week after will be the most
important visit at the oncologist ( is this the right way to spell it ).
I will keep you al posted
Again thanks for all the nice words and PM's

Laz,
sad to hear but as you mentioned this can happen after all we wear REPS and not the 6K euro gens.
Hot water or a sauna enviroment will cause the material to get bigger and will also cause space between the parts since not all the materials "grow" the same .
To be honest a never took a swim or shower with one of my reps , whilst TTK said that the NOOB is waterproof.

In the electronic trade ,in which i'm active , we have a period of 2 weeks where we face problems with supplies.
Often Chinese new year is used as an excuse for bad performance.

Andy,
believe it or not but i bought this beauty almost 3 years ago via Ebay.
I didn't do any mods on it .
Bought form a guy in China , it got throug customs ( now they know my address so i can't buy form outside Europe anymore)
and i paid 80 euro's for it.
Life changed during the past 3 years in terms of pricing and quality but still it's a nice watch with a Swiss 6497 in it

Depends on the watch i'm wearing.
Up untill know only the gen watches i own go to bed with me and into the shower or swimming pool.
My NOOB should be waterproof but i still didn't test it.

O my god i'm drinking the wrong stuff lately.
Because of the tons of medicine i have to take i can't drink my favourite "Nuit St George".
The past 2 months i'm drinking Lipton tea Marocon flavour.
Next summer i will ( hope ) be drinking Nuit again and ofcourse a nice Rose.
