..........but it pours.

Two incoming, both within 20 minutes of each other.

It'll take me a while to actually unpack them so go and have a coffee or a Scotch, depending on your time zone.

 

Excited to see the double unveiling!

 

OK, here we are.

Getting into the US parcel took some doing, NOBODY in the postal chain was going to crack that baby, some serious packaging there!
(Gold Packaging Star to @watchknut)
The local one was a bit easier to open but my heart skipped a beat when I saw an virgin box of medipens. No probs though, it had been opened at the top.



With all of that packaging, both items would have survived a bomb blast, and even the combined mangle skills of USPS and AusPost combined.



So here we are, a nice Seiko Pogue donor from the US and a local Seamaster 30 in lovely condition.

I think it's stopped raining (for now anyway).

 

Nice watches!

I couldn't resist. You've got me feeling like Charlie Bucket.

 

That Seamaster is a beaut! Dibs please!

 

Noted.

 

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the Seiko a donor for?

 

Well, it may not be a donor after a look at it, more likely a recipient.

I'll have a good look at it over the weekend.

 

What do these so called "time zone" things have to do with anything.

 

Thanks Darren.

The barcodes were checked prior to posting and there were zero results on USPS tracking and Aus Post for both items and no results from 17Track or Post Track global.

However it's a good lesson for any of us posting any incoming packages.

Cheers

Jim
