Re: Your watch hoots for the month of December.

Watches ordered with FedEx shipping, both domestic and international, ship within two business days. Accessory orders shipped by USPS may take up to seven days to ship. Our web site will not accept orders for items that are not in stock. All items that can be ordered online are in stock and ready to ship, unless otherwise noted in the product description. Please note that we ship only to physical street addresses. We cannot ship watches to post office boxes, but we can ship accessories to post office boxes by USPS for orders under three pounds.



All shipments for watches require adult signatures on delivery. International shipments must ship to the credit card billing address. Tracking numbers for your FedEx package(s) are emailed directly from FedEx. USPS Priority shipping does not offer tracking, only cofirmation numbers. That number may become a tracking number in countries outside the USA. Please check your junk mail folder if you do not receive a tracking number.



Delivery times displayed at checkout do not include weekends and holidays.



We require FedEx shipping to Asia, Africa, and some countries in Europe including Italy, unless payment is made by wire transfer or Western Union, and responsibility for safe arrival is taken by the customer. If we receive an order from one of these countries using USPS shipping, we will contact you to arrange a change in your selected shipping method. All products are shipped from the USA.



Refused shipments will be credited with the original amount billed less shipping and return charges.

Surprising ley... I thought Ocean7 shipping is by FEDEX one??? Should be lesser than 50USD mah...

i am starting to feel unsafe buying from the seller liao.



he juz wrote me this: [color=#00FF00]Those are the estimates I came up with ,if its less I would refund the difference[/color] :roll:



He agreed with my offered price and jerk up the shipping cost? like that also can? will reply the angmo seller: MLMLWM :lol:
Cosmograph
Re: Your watch hoots for the month of December.
Sorry OT here but just what I know shipping to be from US,



FedEx, better be prepared for USD$100-150. Especially if full box/set

USPS International Express USD$40 min(nothing heavy maybe pau with bubble wrap GAO GAO) if not up to USD $70-90. Priority International slightly less about 60% of express price. So have to take into account.



Sellers I know will jack up more versus less to cover their trip or whatever expenses they feel necessary. If they are reasonable, they will refund or share cost. But that's a bonus.



This all before GST if above SGD$400. :mrgreen:

Re: Your watch hoots for the month of December.
Kinda OT here.. but since we are on this topic of buying from overseas, I will always refer the USPS the US seller..



Take the flat rate priority mail, like USD14.95... if you want better shipping, go for EMS, usually USD30-40.



There's no way a shipping can cost USD100.. although there are some that cost up to USD65 like Halios.. but they use Fedex.

Big time is that price in Sg (there abouts IMO worse case) so you decide lor. Think skywatchers may be cheaper but only their own warranty. TS is most ex but TS warranty and be prepared to folk out $900plus...if they have stock.

That is the price after discount at the shop at vivo

With regards to Skywatches aka watch fashion... if you blindly purchase at their retail store without insisting on the warranty card then yes... chances are you will only end up with a thermal printed receipt which is the only proof of warranty that you purchased from the shop.



However if you insist on the warranty card, they will issue it. Tested and proven, but just curious with the international warranty card, can I go for servicing at TS FOC? :mrgreen:

I checked again and can confirm that $848 is the final price and warranty covered by thong sia. So is this a good deal?

in USD or SGD?



If SGD $848 thats a good price given the warranty by TS.

If local TS warranty. Decent price, (having to take into account that TS is providing warranty) in your case, less a few red notes without TS warranty won't be a game changer plus got chio bu who knows her product according to you. :lol: :lol: hard to challenge this. :D

Yes boss, I've seen it on pics at forums etc but the real thing really kills me.. White clean dial with classic sword hands.. It's even tapered at The ends to mimic the old classic looked. And the domed glass... All I can say is "SUI"

I especially like this shot, the reflection of blue on the silver hands and indexes.

I wonder will ORIENT come out with another new wave of variants next year with:-

a. metallic brown dial with ROSE GOLD case and indexes.

b. pearly satin light yellowish white dial with SS case and blue hands as well as blue indexes.

c. pearly satin light bluish dial with SS case and blue hands as well as blue indexes.
