Thanks guys for agreeing with me. For some reason it did not post, maybe because I am not there much? The seller at RWI was Retina based in Singapore, photo attached of the envelope showing its ridiculous size with a Fiddy to compare, who the hell would ship a watch like this? Regards AJ

Thanks Stephane I have posted the same mail on RWI and informed the seller. I agree with you totally and think he simply has to take some, if not all responsability for his actions and ultimately my loss! Regards AJ

Morning Guys I wanted to open the discussion on etiquette on packaging and shipping from fellow members in M2M sales and get your views please? A few weeks ago I purchased a Patek from an RWI member and as always paid immediately and provided my shipping details and received tracking details. The package was acknowledged via tracking that it landed at Heathrow airport on the 1st August and I thoght no more. On Friday the 14th August I chased the Royal Mail and asked where it was and yesterday it arrived in an outer clear envelope with 'Our sIncerest Apologies' written on it as it had been split and was totally empty apart from a small amount of tissue which was apparently used to wrap the $200 watch in. I contacted the seller and informed him thinking that there would be no way that anyone would send a complete watch Internationally (Or anywhere for that matter) wrapped in a toilet tissue and put in a regular envelope to which the answer, along with two photos came back of exactly the said regular envelope and confirmation that he had sent numerous such packages without issue and couldnt b eheld responsible for theft. Now, I am very street wise and very experienced sending and receiveing watches and can only say that although I believe the watch was sent, the sender was completely crazy to send any watch or part (strap maybe ok) in a regular envelpe and think thats ok or am I wrong? The final question is do we now need to ask any M2M seller how they are going to package/send a watch/parts in future, yes I am a tad pissed with this guy for thinking what he has done is ok without recourse, for me Im down $300 which is no biggy, however in the literally hundreds of watches Ive sent and received this has never happenned before which I put down to being packaged properly. Id welcome your views. Regards Andy

Those colours are my company colours however the size is not big enough fr me :-(

Carbotech Pam for today with a little light trickery :-) Regards AJ

Looking great and I am sure when we get used to navigating and the changes we will all love it, a huge thanks to you. Best regards Andy

That jet engine will sure warm the back tyre and gain traction, or melt it!!

I suspect from what I have read, heard and seen there will b elittle comparrison in truth Richard :-) Of course you ca have a go !!!!

One of the most inexpensive watches I own but has great wrist presence and even though not a perfect replica it is a really great watch that perfoms perfectly and looks fab on my Orloff strap. Have a great Friday guys. Regards AJ

Thanks guys It will only go as fast as you twist the throttle:-) A few pics as it is in the dealers waiting for a few parts to complete the build and looking fck... stunning! Its not the rider(me) its the other guys on the road !!! Best regards AJ

Wow, this came a s a bit of a shock, however one of my business partners just called me to tell me my 'present' will arrive today or tomorrow so I need to be there to pick it up and go through the handover as this is one of if not the most complex motorbikes ever. The Ninja Kawasaki H2 is an engineering marvel that is supercharged with adjustable boost and a whole list of extras, to say I am excitied is an understatement and a few more pics later will follow! Nikki (stuart) this one might be a great one to have a go on :-) Regards AJ

Fiddy is now up for grabs and will be advertised once the sales board is back up! PM me if interested. Regards AJ

Wow, great article and great work AJ

Some new watches arrived today and this very special Fiddy will need to find a new home once the sales board is up. This was built using three watches by me and Mickey using: Old school, Noob and one other, serviced, relumed, refitted, with as gen like sapphire and cg snaps tight as gen with a stunning Orloff strap it has had some guys here commenting on a number of occassions. Cost well in excess of $1250 all in, will be advertised for $900. Regards AJ

Would love to! The budget for a season for British GT is circa £300K that is without travel, suits, hotels and so on! Regards AJ

No worries. That would of course be minus fees of circa 10% on ebay. Regards AJ

Last one on the bay was $1100 Regards AJ

Best of luck with the swith/upgrades/changes AJ

This is a beauty with a very special Orloff strap, you can always PM me :-)

No worries Heres a watch shot from a few mins ago. An off means a 'driver error' by one of the drivers really Mike, the team were running in 6th at that point! Regards AJ

Sorry no, did not think of that!

Went along to Brands Hatch as a guest of Aston and although I miss racing terribly, it was great to see some of the guys. Unfortunately the team I raced with had an off after 3/4 distance so not the result they were hoping for (maybe there's a chance for me after all to return :-) Regards AJ

Great job by, as you say, a great guy ! Regards AJ

I think they all do, just search on your chosen TD and put PAM604

PAM 604 today :-) AJ
