Seamaster_GMT Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Happy New Year to you all. I received a replica Omega Seamaster GMT (Blue) as a Christmas present from my wife from topswiss.co.uk I did some basic research and decided I liked the GMT, the choice of vendor was derived from that I live in the UK, topswiss stated they were UK based, clearly stated no import duty and their prices were average for this watch. Well, the watch arrived in good time but had been despatched from the Philippines. The UK side of delivery was handled by Royal Mail's 'Parcel Force' and my wife got hit by VAT, import duty and a (not small) Parcel Force 'handling fee' which equated in total to almost 50% of what she paid for the watch - if only I'd found this site sooner....... Come Christmas Day I opened my present and to be fair I'm pleased. The watch suffers most of the usual inaccuracies (helium valve placing etc), but the band does have pins rather than screws. I'm very happy that my watch keeps good time, a 6 second per day gain. I hope to learn from this site how to look after my watch and perhaps in time improve it a little. I love my watch and can't stop looking at it to check if its stopped or a hand has fallen off I'm thinking that I should try and find a tool to remove the back and at least give the movement a clean and lubrication is case it's dirty and dry? I'm happy to post pictures of the watch if anyone is interested. B.T.W. topswiss.co.uk are no-more...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
