    Two weeks to my birthday, perfect timing :D

    The only problem is i've asked my wife to take over from here so I'll probably end up with one of Roy Taylor's Lambrettas :cry:

    Would you like some money soon?

    I bet there are at least 50 people hoping you have something shiny and perhaps a little Italian to attach those straps to... :D

    Send Them separately

    Hi,

    Straps in one carton and watches in another, that is how the Rolex watches arrived when delivered to the importer years ago. Guess it is the same for LE. :lol:

    Can i have my LE not mounted?

    I have a small wrist and need to change the strap.

    Regards

    alex

    Ready when you are - the buckle for my Italian strap arrived yesterday, so I'm all primed. :)

    :D

    If the lower box contains 100 Italians, they could have splashed out a bit more on the packaging!

    A few more weeks and it will be on our eager wrists. :)

    I bet there are 50 straps with 50 watches underneath - in each box..
    It's going to take a few days to fit the straps and assemble the other goodies into a ready to mail box... Plus payment processing and invoice generation.

    My bet - ETOIA - is some time next week, am I right?

    Cheers

    I'm another one of the "I'm happy for you not to attach a strap" crowd, Eddie, if that makes life [a little] easier for you :)

    I seem to recall something about black straps.

    I bet there are 50 straps with 50 watches underneath - in each box..
    The permutations are endless :) but they are there (I believe!)

    I was just going to post that I am happy for it to arrive de-strapped... but now I'm not sure. It'll be nice to strap it straight on...

    One strap was already fitted when they arrived. There were 100 straps and 50 watches in each box.

    Knowing his packaging probably about three days :lol:

    I know that the excitement os for the LE, and I totally understand that. If I were on that list I would be as giddy as you all are.


    But, I really think that when the non LE's go up for sale that Eddie is going to have a real hit on his hands. The hunger for functional Pam homages, especially high quality ones, is out there. I'd be surprised if he wasn't swamped with orders.
