bhduck 1 Posted June 23, 2018 Mind you... having said all that, I did double down and buy another 508 in a different M2M sale (which yes, I can’t actually afford to have done; let’s hope my wife doesn’t read this forum).That’s been held up in customs for over a week, coming in from the US.Luckily, I had to pay a small customs release fee yesterday and hope it’ll arrive today. Although it’s also possible the customs fee was for a totally unrelated shipment and my 508 remains in the hands of customs bureaucrats.I suspect if this one goes wrong my ability to remain philosophical won’t last...Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Not my brightest of posts I admit.....Haha, we’ve all done that!

Well... because I hadn’t thought of the idea until someone made the suggestion I guess. It does seem like a good idea for the future if it happens again.

But keeping the package all messed up as a warranty and a proof at least until everything is solved is even a better idea . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dendo 93 Posted June 23, 2018 I received an empty parcel one time - the seller did not pack it well and the package tore and the watch was probably lost in transit - we split the cost. Another time I sold a watch to a Singapore buyer - 2 months later he claimed he was sent an empty parcel - I ignored him after getting advice from others on the forum. This kind of thing happens. Hope you get the next one okay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bhduck 1 Posted June 23, 2018 The story has a pretty happy ending... the second 508 I bought in a replacement M2M sale just arrived It has a gen rubber strap and the seller was right - it bears no comparison to the rep rubber straps.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
