I blame company protocol a lot for this and yes it is happening all over the world. Companies have regulated so much of what they do these days that employees have become brainless morons who totally lack the ability to apply a little initiative. As long as they do everything by the book they know they are safe from reprimand from their superiors. Personally I would have lost it a lot earlier. Ken

Geeze all I ever get for Fathers Day is socks and jocks. Beautiful watch, don't just wear it well but keep it safe too. Ken

Welcome back Robbie it's good to see you. Lani is fine he is just moving house at the moment. As for gossip I hear that Vlydog likes to wear womens knickers.... Ken

Hey R, offshore beat you to the punch on this by about a day. Hope you had a pleasant trip home and look forward to catching up again in the not to distant future. Ken

That is a beautiful collection, all of it, but every time I see that 1911 of yours the old heart starts racing. Funny considering all my watches are black dials. Ken

First read up on the reviews. That way you will know not only the quality of the individual watches but the price point. Once you have decided which SD and from which dealer simply go to the dealers section of this board to make your purchase. Welcome to RWG Ken

Don't like many TAGs, but I like that one. Ken

Gives a whole new meaning to scratching your crystal. Oops there goes $100K Ken

Like dluddy I have a four watch zippered case from River. I consider it one of my best online purchases. Ken

I was going to leave this until I had the finished item to show but I have been so rushed lately that could be another week. A little while back Gran was asking exactly what the actual name of a watch pearl was, I popped in and said when he finds out to let me know because I needed to find one for my beloved PO. Well TeeJay being the guy he is not only offered advice on the pearl but asked for my postal addy to send one to me. Now guys are always helping each other out here but we are talking about a speck of lume in this case, most would let you source this yourself but TeeJay packs one in a plastic zip lock bag, puts that in a larger bubble wrap bag and goes off to the post office to send it to a guy on the other side of the world. Thanks Bro Ken

All the best and hope it's one to remember. Ken

Just a FYI the member in question is a stand up guy who has a genuine reason for keeping his details private. Know him for close to 10 years now so I'm certain he will deliver. Ken

Yeah I was thinking the same thing (not that I know F..all about it) but on a guess the mixture doesn't need to oxidize to set. Ken

Please lets us know the member in question, when you send the details. Ken

Steve get that degree, get the job and then worry about the watches. Until then we are always here to chat to and as you say you can always drool over the pic's. Welcome back. Ken

Thanks for the bump TeeJay as I missed this before as well. That surely is a great write up Utheman, in fact had we still been doing them it would have been a hands down winner of 'Post of the Month' Ken

I believe the RR indicates Hong Kong post, I have known parcels to travel to The Netherlands via HK post. Ken

Ok this is going to sound cheesy but I always loved Creedence Clearwater Revival, I also liked when John Fogerty went solo. So whether it's 'Bad Moon Rising' or 'Old Man Down The Road', it's all good to me. Ken

Love VC's in general but that's a particularly handsome watch you have there Mr Collector. Ken

First thing would be to ask Mary which courier she used as The Netherlands National postal service is run by TNT therefore they will not accept EMS. Once you know how it has come in you will be able to contact them for an update, alternatively Mary should be able to tell you the status of your package too. Ken

G'day MD and welcome to the family Ken

All the best for a speedy recovery Pete, you have most certainly been missed. Ken
