Cherry popped "final chapter"

[XWORD]

Sorry to bore all the oldtimers with this but may be of some help to the other noobs. Ordered my first rep "A/S" from Peter at Iwatchstation approx 1 month ago. Communication was excellent as all emails were answered promptly and patiently. Watch was sent out immediately complete with tracking #. Here's where the major problem occured through no fault of Peter, watch got "stuck" in Customs for approximately 22 days before I recieved a letter from Customs requesting an invoice or ebay# for Brei---ing watch. Also stated that if no compliance the watch will be disposed of in the required manner by returning to sender. In the meantime, after approx. 20 days Peter sent me a replacement watch which arrived the same day I recieved the letter from Customs (4 days from Peter to my wrist). Very happy with the watch and the service I recieved, don't think it can get much better than this. No hesitation from Peter and he was the one that suggsted/sent the new watch without me even asking for it. All I did was inform him that it was still in Customs and he sent the other watch. Great guy. Anyways I imagine my best move would be to ignore the letter from Customs and hopefully they'll return to sender. Will order again now that I have the first under my belt so to say, and of course I'll use Peter for the next purchase.

One more question now for the experienced on the site: as I'm not familiar with the deployant buckle can somebody please post or direct me to a post that shows the proper use of the deployant clasp. If I just slide it through the under side bar the strap continues to work its way loose. Should I be putting the strap through both slots on te deployant clasp? DUH?

Thanks for the help. Must contribute now.

I'm definetly no genius, but at least I figured out the deployant clasp. Thanks anyways.

Glad to hear it worked out in the end. I've never heard of Customs holding anything in Canada before. Bizarre!!

As to the clasp...stick the short end of the strap at the top of the watch...and the long end on the botttom.

Attach the "Flying B" end of the buckle to the short end of the strap...laser etching on the croc grain side.

Feed the other end through the slot of the buckle...and then through the "pinch" claws as well. Close the clasp and you should have leather on the inside except for the pinch claws...and the metal of the buckle should be sandwiched between the leather.

Thanks Toad, all is good.
