Once I get my current order from TT I think I may order a vintage 300 rep. I'll post pics if/when I acquire one.

I heard from Andrew, he said to disregard the singpost tracking and gave me an EMS tracking number. He also said he would forward QC. pics before shipping, so it looks like things are back on track!

Thanks Pam192MEX...good to see another Chicago guy around here too!

Thanks, and I certainly will! My reps thus far have been bought used and have come from private US sellers (my most recent have come from this forum, which have been great transactions!) so I'm new to the whole China dealer/shipping scene. Bare with me!

Hi All, I have an email into Andrew, it's been a day and a half and no response. Although I'm sure he'll get back to me, I'm getting a little antsy so I thought I'd ask here and see if this is normal TT protocol/service. My story: I ordered the 'ultimate vintage' 5512 and 5514 reps and a replacement bracelet last Tues. I confirmed with Andrew that he had them in stock, and then sent payment via Paypal using his instructions. The payment went to 'Steve Cheng' which raised an eyebrow but I've read numerous times that 'Andrew' is likely an alias. His next email was a confirmation of payment (which put my mind at ease) and that he'd have QC pics within the next few days. On Friday I got a notification via Paypal that my order had been shipped along with a tracking number. Apparently, no QC pics for me. Being that I'm slightly detail oriented (or OCD as my wife calls it ), I was hoping I'd have a chance to look over what I was getting. Is this normal for him to just ship without approval? My main concern is the package is coming via Singpost and everytime I've tried to track using the number provided, I get this: The following Item(s) is/are not eligible item for Track & Trace: RC6104647904SG Unless I'm mistaken (or misread a TON of posts here), Andrew/TT has a good record providing trackable shipments. I'm certainly not saying anything poor about him (he's been great thus far) but has anybody else has been down the same road and do I have cause for concern?

Nobody..eh?

I did a search, but there wasn't much info regarding the Vintage Seamaster 300 reps I've been considering (that I know of). I've been looking at these specifically from Trusty. Anybody actually have one? Is something better on the market that I'm missing?</p> http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=5456:9d5381680dc088b5c0824d7b52076575 http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=35_66&products_id=5455

+1 Looks great and I'm curious of approximate cost as well (long time lurker, newbie poster)

Thanks Joey, I went with this one from the same seller: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nylon-Buckle-20mm-James-Bond-BLACK-MOSS-Nato-Ballistic-Military-Watch-STRAP-/190819993562?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c6dc207da It's just like yours except 'moss' in the band instead of 'green'. Comparing the two in pictures 'moss' appears to be more olive drab green.

Joey, may I ask where you got your Bond-esque strap? I've been looking for that color scheme (black in place of blue) but in the 20mm size. I see several on EBay that look OK, just not sure if they are junk or not.
