Well Oscars wrist shot finaly prodded me into buying a Robert Magnum.
Shipped from Germany by Fedex the package arrived today.
Can you spot what is missing from this

Does this look like a sticky strip that was sealed once ?

Wow. That just plain sucks!!!

Sorry for the grievous error and best wishes for a speedy and equitable resolution. I hope your seller is stand up about this or Fed Ex eats it...

At any rate it looks as though the Magnum has made off...

I thought I would give an update on this!

I took the package to the post office today (ya I know it's a FedEx package but I enjoyed takeing it in and then not buying anything) and had it weighed.

It weighs the same ammount that the FedEx site says it weighs so I'm starting to think that somebody forgot to put a watch in the box at Robert :?

Yes I have contacted Robert and FedEx as the package has been opened it's also possible that it was stolen during shipping.

The response I got from Robert was stunned disbelief and an assurance that they didn't intentionally rob me but in the same email my contact told me they were going to China and hoped that it was resolved when they got back. (as if going to China and not taking any more action was going to magically solve the problem) I haven't heard anything from Robert since. In hindsight I am getting more and more irritated at their response but I suppose they are not obligated to just believe every person who claims they got a box with no watch in it so I will remain patient a while longer, like maybe until lunch today ;)

well If It gets more interesting I wouldn't be adverse to calling Elsa and seeing if they could pull rank at Steinhart for me but I will be patient through the week at least.

I did decide that I will dispute the charge with paypal tommorow just in case they need some motivation and a reminder that I am without a watch.

I've heard of that happening, but damn that sucks. I hate it when they ship it in a pouch like that.
