i bought my steinhart ocean vintage GMT direct from steinhart in germany and it took around more than 14 days delivered to my place due to out of stock when i place the order.

most of the time i bought my watch from xbay, normally it took 7-14 days, worst case is 21 days to get it.

this is my experience and hope this information help you.  ;D

The delivery period depends on the mode of shipment (standard post, EMS, FedEx etc) and the time of the year when you order.

I just received an overnight shipment from HK (shipped on 1/11, arrived 2/11) because the seller sent via FedEx Overnight (very expensive). Shipment from the US to Malaysia (standard mail) takes about 1-2 weeks. About the same from UK and Europe. EMS from Japan takes about 4 working days. But once I had to wait very long because I bought an item from the US during the Christmas / New Year season. It took a good one month to reach me!!!! So you may want to avoid making year end purchases!!  :'(

The feeling of loneliness, the anxiety of waiting for your precious grail is some of the feelings a watch enthusiasts will have to endure. Next the anticipation of opening the gift-wrapped items.
Then, voila, the admiration of the piece one consider the "holy grail" or the ultimate "must-have" at that point of time.
It's sheer exhiliration.
Mine experience was like that too, but only from local delivery.
Imagine the piece, say, was posted on 3/11 but only reached my house on 9/11, about a week.
The anxiety and worry if the parcel was lost was there initially. But once the parcel is in my hand, I tore the outer packaging with fury just to get my hands on the piece.
Wow! That type of feeling is Precious!

hahaha tat what happen to me now..

first thing to do when reach home is check the letter box, worry the unresponsible posmen drop the parcel without signing.
and ask anyone at home is there any parcel for me today...

i knew it is about this week or next week,, that really sick... hahahah

my watches if using DHL / fedex, normally take around 1 week -2 weeks.
If just normal registered parcel, take around 1 month.

if it is a expensive watch or smooth watch then using DHL or fedex is better,
but if it is a tough or durable watch, i think using the normal register parcel, is good. let it roll in the air or ship when it reach ur hand it really got sweat and pain. -> (dont try this unless the watch is really tough or not ex) hahahaha

here the pic


it very exciting and no kidding the qualities of the vostok is very good.
when you hold it you can feel the steel and solid.
but there is a bit not nice for the strap and steel bracelet, it what been expected by all buyer, i will change it to a very nice nato strap.

you all should own 1, the komandirkies and amphibia is a very nice 1.
