Slow Boat from the UK...

Post by Steve O. » Fri Jul 10, 2020 10:00 am

Bought this in late June and completely forgot about it. Tracking hasn't updated since June 26th, where it just shows "Acceptance". Predicted delivery as late as mid-August. Might as well put it out of mind again with current global shipping situations.

Hey, but Steve, it looks like it will be one of those well worth the wait situations ! :headbang:
Never actually have seen these, and just love the name, and what looks like this
really cool turtle guy too. :) :thumbsup: It has a nice Tuna feel to it, but then looks to
have these killer cool bezel teeth. Which really add a whole new element to the
watch. Even the finishing on the steel looks terrific, and accentuates every nook,
and cranny ! :excited:

Whoa, and check out the bracelet, and strap that come with it !! ..It's going to
be something when it gets there ! ..HUGE congrats ahead of time 2 U sir !!!

Great looking diver. Hope it arrives soon. I just received three straps from the US; only took 3 months to the day!

Reminds me of that show "Cruise Ship Killers". Except somebody killed the ship...

Last shown on June 29:

"Item has left the overseas International Processing Centre
DUBLIN DELIVERY, Ireland"

Nothing on USPS tracking.

Good grief!

I'd give it a couple more weeks, Steve, but do try and hit church in the meantime :pray: :cheers:

It will show. Keep the faith. I just received a package on Monday from Italy. It was shipped on 6/20 and delivered 7/13. It took a little over 3 weeks but it made it safely. Covid-19 is causing all kinds of delays.

Yeah, I know. Just impatient.
