Just collected this beauty today and words cannot describe the feeling... Brings me back to the sweet feeling of taking extra long and frequent glances at my watch without even noticing the time...

Hi, first of all, sorry for off-topic. I couldn't message you so let me ask you here.

 

I saw you replied on one of Ken Bergies' thread. I notice that you want the item to be sent to Singapore. Well, I'm not Singaporean but I live in Singapore at the moment and just wondering have you bought items from Ken Bergies? how was the quality and everything? And do you have any customs problems when you send it to Singapore? Thank u.
