Morning, everyone. Watch lover who recently started exploring the world of reps. I have a Cartier Tank Solo on the way from ChazingTime. I originally ordered one from geektime then discovered that the factory that supplied it used a dial where the III was out of alignment. I should have looked more closely at the pictures on the website, but I assumed each rep looked more or less alike.  Lesson learned: they do not. Thankfully, the TD from geektime was professional and refunded my money.

I want my next (and last?) purchase to be an Explorer I. The problem is there does not seem to be a perfect one out there. VSF does not have the right lug-to-lug or bracelet taper, while CLEAN has the wrong 6 and 9. I suppose I will wait out CLEAN. Or, I thought, register for this site and see if anyone is selling a previous version with the correct numerals.

A quick question: I also spent some time on RWI. Its locale seems to be Europe and the UK. I do not trust that watches shipped from there would make it through customs. Is that a legitimate concern? And do most of the people selling on this site live in the US? I am under the impression that shipping domestically would not attract as much attention. 

Anyhow, nice to meet everyone.
