  1. Pardon me sir, I think you dropped these .
  2. Better still have a word with Dr Who he might expand the time space continuum sufficiently to allow you the time to get one
  3. Its roots of course lie in the Nautilus (1976) .
  4. Thai thefts almost invariably dissapear the whole item (not its contents) If Thai Regd Air mail, forget insurance ! All you can check is backtrack the postage paid...go to Thai Post site and use the Postage calculator to see to weight paid for when it went over the Post Office counter .
  5. Two essential references: http://www.pmwf.com/Watches/WatchSchool/WS...20Bracelets.htm http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=60762

    MBW Case?

    ????????????? I think he alludes to the fact that these case backs traditionally came with MBWs Much more of this and youll all have to hand back your WIS badges or 'the search function can be your friend' http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...;hl=SHITINERAND .
  7. Just what reply were you anticipating You contact me get all the specs, immediately regurgitate them here and ask for opinions Do you think Im about to opine over my own specs This model is well known on the forums and many member now have them Fortunately I am long since sold out .
  8. Just get one like mine: .
  9. Latest MBK Red Sub: .
  10. So I take it you liked it Great review Great photos Great l'il stands .
  11. Exactomudo Too much cavalier misinformed nonsense perpetuates re this...which doubtless led to the 'clever d ick' putting 'repair' on it in the first place. Ill conceived lies to customs will burn your fingers sooner or later. Well RTFM springs to mind again Many countries have a Gift Threshold amount (UK is
  12. Fedex et all, work 'hand in glove' with customs Concealment = 'Smuggling activity' to customs .
  13. How come any faith I had in you resolving this......is waining .
  14. They are on the 'watch out' for prohibited items and duty evasion A counterfeit item or a sparkly new high value watch may well achieve getting their attention .
  15. Only if youre swimming there
  16. I reiterate...customs can (and will) do as they please ----as above--- Maybe yes, maybe no...but if in doubt they hold pending a definitive answer from the owners of the marque (with all the ensuing fun that brings about) something about stable doors springs to mind Personally I would go with a handwritten predated 'bill of sale' for a couple of hundred euros 'Sold as seen with mechanical problems as agreed' (transaction done in home country). You shipped to USA after much internet searching for cheap fix....amateur smith did this for $70...unfortunately he in unfamiliar with International shipments (as are you). And appeal to their better nature and the low key nature of this matter may carry it for you. In these situations ask what seems normal...'send my watch back to a repairer who has apparently on he face of it tried to hoodwink customs'...is not normal. .
  17. Dont mention Muppets .
  18. Best as I can figure you have two options: Take in on the chin....act daft say you bought the watch in the Netherlands - for reasonable money (which you will have to invent a plausible scenario for) and you unwittingly sent it to USA for mods/repair without giving thought to this problem, and see how it goes. Best case, they smile and let you have the watch....worst case they hit you for duty (pay or forfeit the watch). or Contact them and say you don't know anything about it, whoever sent it has mixed you up with someone else, and SUGGEST they return it. No easy choice I'm afraid .
  19. Unfortunately the 'Runes were cast' when the packet was sent with the ill conceived (and little thought through) lie on the declaration. This has now reared up to bite you & left you in an indefensible position. This is similar to wrapping watches up inside another item....all very clever, until its looked at , then concealment = certain smuggling in the eyes of customs officialdom - with all that entails.
  20. Misinformation.............. They cant do this - they wont do that....understand customs can do exactly what they want and theyve had centuries perfecting their art. The returned repair thingy is all well n good until they want proof that this expensive watch (as they are looking thru their eyes at a gen of course) started its journey from you and of course that it is properly duty paid. RTFM Check out your countrys Customs proceedures and there will doubtless be a way that is required BEFORE sending item outwith your country for repair etc. Also check this : inbound gift tax free level. Whatever it is declare under that and gift wrap it would have been a better M.O. FEDEX et all Are hand in glove with customs (customs crack the whip & they obediently jump) ...good ole Post Office air mail is the mode of choice.
  21. Yup RTFM Works everytime
  22. Replica trees! Bonsai reaches Guangzhou finally .
  23. Try & keep the reps > 20kgs should be OK .
