USPS rocks! I'm sure though that you were biting your nails... in the end its all good!

I've had occasions where USPS delivered via CanadaPost from South Korea in 5 days.

Hey, Vernon! What are you getting?

As for USPS, I agree - they're excellent in terms of shipping / tracking / speed. Canada Post could take a whole bunch of lessons from them!

I picked it up yesterday and yes its another Chrono Avenger (pre-loved). It has the Pro I bracelet which I believe is more comfortable than the Pro II.

This has the inner bakelite box, outerbox, original purchase receipt, COSC certificate, warranty booklet, instruction manuals, Breitling shopping bag and AD booklet.

Using the seller's photo for now.
