Impatience is not a virtue! Empty

OK, ordered my Triton, was shipped from Germany via FedEx. According to the tracking it says still in Paris! I ordered a bracelet a day later from a site in Hong Kong and it is in the local post office to be delivered tomorrow. Is there usually a delay with stuff coming from Europe? Why would it sit in Paris for a week? Am I being an impatient turd?

Um, short answer , yes. Impatience is not a virtue! Icon_razz

Sometimes, for whatever reason, customs, laziness, or just incompetence, it takes ahwile from things to be delivered from Europe. Anything I have ever ordered from Europe seems to take longer than things from Hong Kong, China, Japan, Thailand, etc. Hang in there im sure it will arrive soon. Wich Triton did you get , the original triton, or the new bead blasted DLC coated one?

The French post is horrible. 25 hour work week. Most time off. No work ethic. Sorry.

The waiting is the hardest part!

I got the new Steinhart version (the 100 ATM model), bead blasted with the DLC coated bezel.

Why? Because Paris really is beautiful this time of year! Three years ago this week, my wife and I were there.

I haven't ordered a watch from Europe yet Chris !..So
I can't help out with why it takes the amount of time
it's taking. I guess it's just the way things work when
ordering overseas with things like watches. Impatience is not a virtue! Icon_smile One
thing is for sure though, you're definitely not being
impatient !..You just want to experience your new
Steinhart as soon as possible. Which by the sound
of it, will be well worth the wait ! Impatience is not a virtue! Icon_cheers

Chris, it will take 12-14 days. I have ordered 2 times from Germany. Sometimes the tracking is unchanged and it will seem like your item is sitting in one spot. Hang tight, it's on the way.
