  1. My mistake, it's not called the Jumbo, is it? It's the 15400.... That I would just love to strap up. Thanks again
  2. Does anyone know if the leather straps for ROO date at 12 fits, it's dimensions are 28mm at the lug. I love the 41mm size, I have a beautiful black dial in a stainless case, but I would really prefer to get mine out of it's bracelet and onto a croc strap. (I do also have the smaller RO, stainless with a blue dial, on a black strap. I just really have a thing for straps, and much prefer it this way.) Note: I had read somewhere that the strap from the 'city of sails' fantasy series was in fact interchangeable here, and would install (on the RO 41mm). It so happens that I have 2 of those, the City of Sails, and it additionally so happens that one of them is out of commission anyway, a casualty of an ill advised 7750 setting blunder. As I write this, I have my RO Jumbo and my out of commission City of Sails dropped off at the shop of my favorite watch smith, and when time allows later he is going to have a look into the accuracy of this claim for me. I am thinking at current moment though that it will turn out that this is dubious advise, based on something I noticed at the last moment as I was dropping them off. What I noticed was this: the two lugs, or whatever they are called, that extend from the case on each side where the bracelet/ strap attaches, were pretty clearly two different sizes. I went ahead with dropping them off anyway, obviously.... I've got nothing to lose to let him have a look, and there's no B plan (yet) for getting my RO strapped up today. There seems to be precious little chatter to be found on Google regarding swapping a 41mm RO to a strap. However, I'm looking at my ROO date at 12 on it's leather strap, and I'm wondering now if maybe this size is actually exactly what's needed here. The two 'lugs' on each side do seem to be identical in size to those on the RO 15400. This would be an awesome revelation, if it were to turn out to be the case. I know exactly where and how to acquire replacements of these,reasonably priced, even good selection of options, etc.... Is this wishful thinking? Could anyone that has the knowledge and the time be so kind as to set me down the path of enlightenment here? (You know, most preferably the one that has my RO successfully swapped to a strap at the end?). Many thanks, Jesse
  3. Wow, unreal. Now this is exactly the type of information that you'd just never know unless you know. Ok, here's a big follow up question. I have been very steady with the guy I primarily order from currently, have done very good business with him over quite a few orders. He's been great, and I've certainly been a great customer. Now, as I was getting started I tried orders with a number of sites. I know I have seen dealers guarantee the package to your front door. Obviously if a package is held, it doesn't make it this far. So: is there an industry standard here? Is there a norm that a customer should expect from a dealer in this set of circumstances (regarding, obviously, the replacement of merchandise)? If so, is there any norm as far as a period of time? I Really appreciate insight here gentleman. I do not at all relish the idea of my guy getting beat over the head here. Obviously though, it's a sickening prospect to be beat over the head here myself.
  4. Thank you, and thank you. Understood and appreciated. I shall remain hopeful for now. (Panerai153, for what it's worth, I included the qualifier '(not that there's anything wrong with that)' for only one reason: I did not wish to offend anyone here. Personally, I have not so much as discussed or attempted to sell any gen, ever. I am far more concerned with adding on, not subtracting. In almost every case they're worth more to me than what I payed. I'm still in the stage of being blown away by what I have the good fortune of being able to wear everyday. Not sure this stage ever passes though, so maybe it's not technically a stage). Ok so Lord willing, it comes through. If it does not, what is a reasonable expectation of my dealer, understanding of course that this could likely vary (anyone's experienced opinion very much appreciated). And gentleman, thank you all for your time and consideration. J
  5. Triplehd, what are your thoughts on that particular package, being what it is? (If you will be so kind. Thank you very much for your time).
  6. I went ahead and just called USPS. I had been nervous to do so, now seems silly. I was getting some hope off the fact that their website shows, when I do the tracking, a status of 'In Transit'. This has little meaning, as it turns out. And USPS has little to offer in the way of help, only that 'it's with customs. Been there 2 weeks. CAN be there up to 45 days. We don't know why, what how, etc, in further info.' Yeah so I have there a: Hublot Big Bang King red rose gold A-7750 (w/ blue stick hr markers, bezel dot)-----love this one Then, an: Omega Seamaster--Aqua Terra Auto SS/ LE white/ RG/ swiss 2836----mmmm And then: Patek Philippe, Nautilus Jumbo Grey Sticks, Swiss ETA For some reason, I have a feeling it may be the two that follow which MAY have brought me undue scrutiny (could be wrong, of course). I have several Rolex's in my collection, but seldom order them. It seems obvious they'd be far and away the most recognizable to anyone, anywhere, right? Anyway, they are: Rol Skydweller SS/LE Roman white Asian 2836 Rol ProHunter Sub PVD/PVD Asian 2836 I was very excited, needless to say.....
  7. Would it be advisable --or not-- to contact usps? Do I have anything to worry about? I'm strictly a collector and do not get these as a business (not that there's anything wrong with that).... Not that I'd say anything other than 'it is a gift from a friend in the far east'. Thoughts?
  8. Thanks so much guys for taking your time, very kind, very stand up move! May I ask has anyone lost a package this way? Was there any positive resolution beyond that as far as getting replacements? Thank you again, Jesse
  9. Yes sir, I have, and just tried again. They have the same info: it ends 12-31 after 'handed over to US customs'
  10. My package was handed over to us customs two weeks ago, 12-31-13, and there it has sat. I've checked every day (multiple times) on EMS, but no further movement or information. I'm new to this site and club, and pretty new overall, I've been collecting maybe 6 months or so. I have received 4-5 packages in the past couple months, would this amount of regularity raise anything? Is this order screwed? Unfortunately I stepped out on this one, and had 5 nice reps on the way. So I'm freaking. I have been very happy with my company, which is one everyone on here knows, and I would really like to avoid having either he or myself stuck holding the bag here. Would anyone/ everyone with any helpful wisdom in this type of situation please advise? Thank you VERY MUCH in advance. Jesse
