Another one? Congrats. 
Real envy you now.

Actually, I just won bidding a long awaited price watch, and now seeing your post only make me more itchy. Can't wait.

Btw, so many jewel, do servicing it make your sifu headache?

[TET@WATCH]

No need envy...mine are all cheap watches.  So far the jewels dont hinder the servicing, they were attached to not so important parts..actual usage are only 17 jewels as per my Sifu Enkidu.  Whats your recent purchase ?  Another Elgin ?

[bezelnut]

Cheap or not, they are still nice, inspiring & enchanting watch. But I remember you have Bulova RO, and don't forget the UG Polerouter. Those are not cheap at all. And quantitatively you are definitely a winner.

No, not Elgin this time. I went for something a bit more subtle, very dressy, very swiss. Something that is always my dream, a holy grail, maybe even ultimate watch in my eye. And I got it's substitution.  Will leave it here with a bit of mystery and suspense. 

I will definitely post on WMF when it arrive.

[TET@WATCH]

Haha  i love mystery and suspense....how soon will it arrive ?  Express priority ?

[bezelnut]

No, just tracked & insured. It says 8-15 days. But the item is not shipped yet, still in Mexico.

I'm doomed with waiting. My tools & lume not even arrived & now some more waiting. I guess I just have to be a good waiter. 

[TET@WATCH]

Your tools n lume tracking number start with letter LC/LK ?  Cause when it reaches Malaysia, it will become just a normal mail...thats why i prefer registered/sign off..it start with RE/RF/RG

[bezelnut]

I don't know. Both seller did not give me item tracking number. Should I ask from them myself? Or maybe because it is cheap stuff so not tracked?

[TET@WATCH]

Seller should update tracking number once forward...just send them a friendly reminder.  Normally, it will take about 2 weeks to arrive our country if USPS first class...if still not receive than follow up with seller for assistant and if no reply than open up a case under item not receive with Ebay.  Dont worry about buying extra insurance for your item cause it is already protected by Ebay.  Once opening up a Case, the seller will have to respond to you within a week, if no progress, Ebay will make decision and will refund you back in full inclusive of shipping.   

[bezelnut]

What if postage is stated as Standard International Shipping? If it says "Varies for items posted from an international location" for delivery estimation, I have no right to complain them being late also.

Just a rebuttal, they do sent out item quite fast, within a day upon receiving my payment thou.

[TET@WATCH]

All items posted must have a track number, may it be cheap or not.  Remember the free shipping from India, after i file a case with Ebay, they finally email me the track number and later verify with pos malaysia, item arrived 2 days late.  Pos Malaysia very friendly and helpful, call toll free 1 300 300 300 for assistance.  If the track number begins with LC/LK than dont bother to call P.M cause not trackable once reaches our country, thats why so many items missing in our country and some even banned our country from bidding. I think about 60% stated that they might not ship to Malaysia.  

[bezelnut]

I see. Thanks for all the explanations. I will contact my seller and see how I'll proceed from there. 

Btw, real sorry I'd sidetracked your thread so badly. Ruined a totally awesome thread.

[TET@WATCH]

Haha..dont feel bad for sidetracking cause no one else interested in my thread except you ...please feel free to msg me if needed any other assistant
