Very nice Gumba...not a fan of that crown, but I like everything else especially the hands. Cool how the blueing draws the eye to the center and the clear crisp white on the perimeter....looks like you got a strap that fits....Steinhart needs to take note:) |

Looks great O. Must be nice. Pretty disappointing here in Packerland as the delivery time has come and gone and my tracking delivery date just up and disappeared. Good thing I made sure to be around to sign for it! :X Fed Ex tells me the last scan for the package was 1300 today in Memphis and I might get it tomorrow. Any way nice watch buddy. I'm hoping to have mine for the holiday.  |

Ty Gumba!...I wish it had been a sunny day to really capture the true beauty but hey I can live with 40mph winds and -5 degrees for a while :D ....the blue hands are very nice and do draw attention to the clean dial...I thought the same about the crown but after wearing it and admiring the watch it has really grown on me and adds something different in a more modern way to the vintage Flieger styling....I did receive the more traditional diamond cut crown as well if I decide to swap it out hand6.gif ...Mark I have had 3 overnight deliveries from Fedex screwed up big time!....one came 3 days later and had I not called who knows when it would have arrived! Their CS is terrible and they refuse to refund claiming adverse weather in Memphis...WTH is adverse whether down south?  |

Hey I remember two years back when a certain Lord nearly torched FedEx to get me a Doxa in time. I am hopeful it comes tomorrow but unfortunately I don't have all day to sit and wait as we celebrate the holiday with my parents on X-Mas eve. I suppose if I miss it tomorrow I'm hosed until after Christmas. Take some more pix... |

Like I pm'd you Mark ...Fedex is terrible and if your watch is sitting in Memphis they screwed up because that is their international hub for customs....my watch came direct from Cali. to Cleve. ....you should have your's by 10:30 am imho because it is a day late hand6.gif Paxman wrote: Hey I remember two years back when a certain Lord nearly torched FedEx to get me a Doxa in time.

And I couldn't agree more, I should have it tomorrow before 1030 but they won't guarantee it and the yokel on the blower went so far as to ask me how the roads are here. I told him they were shitty just like Fed Ex service!!:D OMG I'm gonna tweak!!!  |

Outstanding! I had mine shipped to my office... but have been snowed in all week! It was delayed a day because of the weather, but it did arrive at my office this morning. I had the facilities guy stash it in my edit room, so it looks like I'll have a nice little late Christmas gift when I go into the office on Friday. ;) |
