Re: Are import duties still an issue?

Ummm, I've emailed Tim Cook a few years ago about an issue, with my wife order) and got a phone call the next day from one of their investor relationship managers, there are a lot of companies (some I have dealt with) that will do what is needed to take care of a customer

Re: Posting in 'want to buy' CW section.

But here's the problem - I wasn't involved in on the forum at that time -(been focusing on a master degree for the past few years)- with that if the "Forum" decides to update its rule again, it could end up being a moving target for people.

Re: "Bargain" - NOT

Also if it doesn't sell after 50 days they will most likely just return the watch and be out nothing

Re: C60 Trident Bronze GMT 600 Limited Edition

I asked about that - The hands are different on the C60 Bronze GMT compared to the C60 Trident Pro Bronze and they are slightly lighter.

Re: Changes afoot for the C60 Trident GMT?

As a diver, the hybrid bezel is kinda nice for a dive watch, a standard gmt bezel kinda looks with a most dive watches. If you want a 2-4-6-8-etc bezel then don't have a dive watch gmt.
