gioarmani Posted December 2, 2009 Report Posted December 2, 2009 I've just placed my largest watch order yet: 1 Royal Oak Offshore Ruben Barrichello II (in blue) 1 TAG SLR for Mercedez-Benz SS (in black) 1 IWC Aquatimer "Cousteau Divers" 9the '06 version) 1 AP ROO Survivor (with the pusher-guards) 3 Hublot Big Bangs (can't remember which, but all ceramic, some brown, some black, some gray) Hopefully this will slip through customs no sweat. And, of course, I plan to do some very thorough reviews on each upon arrival (hopefully a week or so before Christmas). So to all who've commented over the years they wished I would review something other than Rolex, stay tuned...
marinamm20 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Posted December 2, 2009 dammm that was a large order - hope the best for you in the customs gio looking forwards to see the reviews btw what is the name of that yummy girl on the bed br jesper
Mercury Posted December 2, 2009 Report Posted December 2, 2009 Get the Rubber strap for the SLR when you can, it makes it a whole new watch.
Stephane Posted December 2, 2009 Report Posted December 2, 2009 Gio, That is simply insane man . . . Hold on, hmmm...yup it could make sense though. If they all go through customs, it's a fantastic package and decision of course Anyway, good luck to you and the provider. I'll be very happy to see some more of your great reviews All the best, Stephane
TeeJay Posted December 2, 2009 Report Posted December 2, 2009 That's one heck of an order Looking forward to the reviews
hackR Posted December 2, 2009 Report Posted December 2, 2009 +1 Gio... i'm thinking a "Tin Foil and RBII" follow-on post in The Series might work!... R-
gioarmani Posted December 2, 2009 Author Report Posted December 2, 2009 Thanks all. Since it hasn't shipped, I may ask them to split the packages in two or so. The girl in my avy & sigs is always my gf, to those who were asking. I shoot them all myself.
hiker01 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Posted December 2, 2009 Thanks all. Since it hasn't shipped, I may ask them to split the packages in two or so. The girl in my avy & sigs is always my gf, to those who were asking. I shoot them all myself. I hope so! PM me if you need an assistant! Free of charge! LOL! Good luck on the order........I agree, split the order! and hopefully it doesn't get re-routed to Cuba!
MasterOfPuppets Posted December 2, 2009 Report Posted December 2, 2009 Cant wait for the pics & reviews Btw, which version of the TAG SLR is it if i may ask? i've been really interested in getting one lately
panerai153 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Posted December 2, 2009 Man,that's a GREAT big order. Some really nice watches. if you can, I would get the dealer to split the order and stagger the shipping day by a couple of days. Customs might pounce on a shipment with 7 or 8 watches. I guess it all depends on the Customs office where the shipment arrives, but that's a big package with a lot of watches. One thing that you don't want to do is have a bunch of watches confiscated and your name and shipping address get red flagged by Customs. Believe me, you will never get anything through with out it being opened and checked.Send one package to your girlfriends address or your work address, but split and stagger the shipments. I was pretty inactive here for a couple of years, but back in 2006-7 the manufacturers (genuine) were kicking up a really big fuss and putting a lot of political pressure on Customs.It got really risky to even try to get a Rolex from China,Tiawan,Singapore, etc. The usual Ports of Entry such as San Francisco,Los Angeles and some said Anchorage were very risky. I really don't know what the situation here in the USA is now, but I would do everything possible to minimize the risk. Good Luck Arthur
spooky driver Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 wow Gio that is a big risk shipping them all together....... balls of steel

hambone Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 That is a big and risky order. While we are keeping our fingers crossed,perhaps your models need to keep their legs crossed?
lanikai Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 Good stuff Gio.. looking forward to your great reviews !!! AC/Lani
P4GTR Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 man if you weren't a busy hermit we could have a peek at those in person when they came through. Just giving you a hard time man. Hope the heavily wrapped holiday boxes land safely under the mistletoe, Jacques Cousteau.
MasterOfPuppets Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 Looks great, i was leaning towards this one Good luck with ur purchase
By-Tor Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 Good luck Gio. I've been thinking about the TAG SLR myself... it's a cool watch.
jfreeman420 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 That is a big order, but if I remember correctly you live where I do and the incoming customs for us is a breeze. I have never had a problem.
thogaa Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 Quite a haul. Hoping the best. I think custom officers are busy this time of the year
scoobs1971 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 The girl in my avy & sigs is always my gf, to those who were asking. I shoot them all myself. Why are we talking watches in this topic?
Stormfather Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 wish you the best with your order, gio. i wouldn't have the balls to order that much. i keep my fingers crossed for you.
