Not again!? Incoming!
Greetings TRF,

This one shouldn't take as long as the last one but I might as well start the thread now. You know, just for the thrill!

It has been shipped today, it's supposed to arrive within 48 hours but who knows...

I'm guessing that it is not a Rolex (by the placement of the thread).

You're right!

Now that leaves us with a very few choices, right?

Thank you Dan! Again, it's nothing impressive but I've been eyeing this one for a rather long time. I can't wait to have it!

Tell that to USPS Express Mail International, unless you can confirm me that they do not ship on Saturday and that I've lost money on that supposed-to-be much faster service I should get it in a couple of hours (but you guys won't see it before tonight as I work anyway).

Please accept my apologies but the watch I'm waiting for isn't a Tudor at all! I still hope you'll take a look at it when I'll get it!

Craig, it's not the time, I'm in a grumpy mood right now!

Why did I bother paying more for having the USPS Express International if I have to wait until Monday to possibly have that watch!?

...Although, it does make a great teaser thread so I can't say everything went wrong!
