Who the hell knows with USPS Registered

The slowest but the safest, at this point all I care is that it gets here safe, I can survive the wait, a lost or stolen watch I can't...

And yours?

Mark, it was mine as well but I never expected to get one...I ended trading the 16610 I had plus my 7928 Tudor from hell....Is was a great watch just too many bad memories and every time I wore it they came back...

I am happy as pig in you know what about this 5513!

I wouldn't have been able to do it had I not found someone willing to trade my 2 watches to. Originally I was unwilling to spend this amount of money on one watch, so I bought the 16610 thinking it would satisfy me, it did, for about 2 minutes. Then came the 7928, but it can look like a Rolex, but in the end, it's not. I love Tudors, don't get me wrong just if you want a vintage Rolex Sub, don't buy a Tudor thinking you will be happy, cuz you won't... So, 6 months later and 2 services one because the 16610 got moisture under the crystal and another because of an unscrupulous seller. A long road brother when I should have bought here on TRF from the start. Buy off eBay and that's what you get.

Damn! I hope they remember to move the box around a bit to get them going again after the power reserve dies.

Well, even if they don't, there's always the risk that they may have the same seismic shocks for the next two days!

I bet you can't wait for your new arrival, Steve

The Tudor looked so good! You, and Dan Pierce had the blue subs. Now your blue is gone. After hearing your story about it, I'm scared to get one.

Can't wait to see the new 5513!
