One of my orders has been in Chicago since 1/12. Two other orders that I purchased later have already flew through customs. Unfortunately for me I chose the wholesaler option for a bit of a price break... guess that backfired on me, now Im basically going to be paying double. Never had a problem in nearly 8 years of being on these forums and 100+ watches over the years, so figured my chances were pretty slim on being picked off, guess I was wrong.
With all this buzz about customs lately, Ill stick with the traditional price premium so I dont lose another big chunk of change like that again... I guess, dont spend more than you are willing to lose.
Just awaiting the infamous customs letter now, or a status update on USPS that the watches were water tested and regulated by the kind people at OHare, and are now on their way to me...
