I'm sure you will breath a big sigh of relief when you open the package and feast your eyes on your new watch after the ordeal you have endured. Enjoy it in good heath.

Another idiot FedEx driver! What's the point of "signature required" if it's really irrelevant!? You are very lucky that box is still there Congrats

14060M.

Definitely not a rarity, but this model has really spoken to me for many years. The timeline of the V serial is significant to me on a few levels. This watch already holds sentimental value, and I know I will not be able to let it go in the future.



Some poor pictures as I was fighting barrel shadow

And finally, a most sincere thank you. Thank you to DavidSW, who I knew from the forums would be safe, honest and timely. He exceeded all of my expectations. Everything from his patience when my chosen method of payment took a week to show up, the amazing pictures he takes of all his products, and how quickly he got my new watch to me. All stickers in place, BNIB old stock. Exactly what I was looking for, and he will definitely be my first call when I am ready to purchase another watch.



Thanks again David, I love the watch!

That's what I'm talkin about Looks great on ya DavidSW should be notified, as well as FedEx that the box was just left on a porch. This could have been a disaster, and maybe your call could keep it from happening to another TRFer. Enjoy your new baby!

I live on a quiet culdesac with very little traffic in/out. However, I have to admit that my stomach did a little loop de loop when I read that the parcel was left at the front door. I am only a 5 minute drive from the office, so I ran home and picked it up, then back to work. Glad it was safe!

Wow, im happy it all worked out. I Purchased my 114060 from a trusted (seller)member of TRF. As I've heard many times before, you must buy the seller first, and there are nothing but top reviews from DavidSW here on our forum. Now please add the 16610 in your watch profile. Regards Elliott

Thanks everyone! I love this watch!

It was signature on delivery, but it was left at the door as they "had signature on file" but I think that still defeats the purpose.

Anyway, it took some time to find this particular serial, BNIB, from a trusted seller. I am glad I waited.

Congrats Lenny! Glad nobody was snooping at your porch. Some surveillance
cameras always a good idea with dvr or cloud at least for front..... in the event.
Glad it worked out for you.
