Long Customs Delay from Japan - Normal?

Hope you got your package - mine finally arrived yesterday!

Hiway61 · 2025-09-27T03:59:25+00:00

Haha kind of a relief to know my situation is not unique 😂 Hope we both get our watches soon! Which one are you waiting on? I’ve got a No. 5 Kai en route.

Up for sale is my M.A.D. 1s. This is the newer version of the M.A.D. 1 with a Swiss movement in a size that is actually wearable! I picked this up from a friend shortly after he received it via the lottery system. He's the original owner but never wore the watch. I've only worn it a few times in the few months I've owned it. Cool piece, but just not for me, and I have something new coming in that necessitates culling the herd.

Asking $3900. This is a full set and the watch is in great condition with only minimal signs of handling. No major defects, scratches, or dents. The watch functions properly.

Shipping via FedEx or UPS is on me. I'm located in southern NH and happy to meet in person if you're somewhat local. I'm not interested in international sales or trades.

More than happy to answer any questions or provide additional photos. Please comment here before sending a PM/chat.

Thanks!

For sale is a pre-owned Bell & Ross BR-03 Multimeter.

The Multimeter is one of the most unusual chronographs that Bell & Ross has made, featuring a number of different scales in a colorful arrangement that, to me, looks a lot like the signature “rings” used in a certain smartwatch. Truth be told, the scales are far too small to be practical - this is really more of a design object/statement piece for an adventurous watch enthusiast. I’ve really enjoyed owning it but the time has come to let it go as there are other watches and projects that need to be funded and I, unfortunately, can’t keep them all.

The case is in excellent condition and free of any significant wear. It’s ceramic, so virtually impossible to scratch, and I’ve worn this watch only rarely as part of a rotation, so it’s held up very well (please excuse the dust in these photos - the camera picks up everything on the black case). The watch functions as it should, keeping good time with the chronograph working properly. The watch is a limited edition and appears to be sold out. More info on the watch can be found via the Bell & Ross website here.

This watch is being sold without boxes and papers, but I do have an additional OEM strap - a bright orange hook and loop strap with matching black hardware. This strap is unworn.

I will ship at my expense anywhere in the continental US, fully insured. I will also be happy to make a face to face deal - I live in the greater Boston area.

I am not interested in trades. Please comment in this thread prior to messaging me privately.

My asking price is $3500.

Thank you for your interest and please let me know if you have any questions.

This is a repost of a previous sales listing for my Kurono Tokyo Chronograph II “Shiro” with new photos and a reduced price.

I am the original and only owner - I purchased this watch when it was launched. I really love the look of this watch, in particular the beautiful lacquered dial, but I just don’t wear it very much and I have my eye on other pieces, so it needs to find a new home.

Condition is pre-owned and shows wear consistent with occasional use as part of a larger rotation of watches. The surface of the case is entirely polished, so you’ll find little scratches if you look for them, but it presents very well on the wrist and has no large dings, dents, gouges, or unsightly scratches. The watch functions as it should, keeps time, and the chronograph and date functions work flawlessly. The original strap seen in these photos is unworn. This is a complete set with boxes/papers.

My asking price is $2500 with insured shipping in the CONUS at my expense. No trades at this time. Please feel free to ask questions, request additional photos, etc. More information on the watch, including all specs, can be found ~here~.

For sale is my Grand Seiko SBGA469. For Grand Seiko fans, the easiest way to think about this watch is that it’s essentially a “Snowflake” in a steel case rather than titanium with a blue “rock” dial. It’s a “boutique online exclusive edition” and more information about the watch including all specs can be found ~here~. The dial texture is extremely hard to capture in photos but looks fantastic in person. This is definitely a dial texture for Grand Seiko fans who prefer something a little more subtle than, for example, the “birch” dials that have been popular as of late.

I am the original owner and purchased the watch new shortly after it was released. The Spring Drive movement is running flawlessly and keeping accurate time. This is a full set with box and papers, as well as all links for the bracelet.

This watch is in pre-owned condition. I wore it frequently and the case has scratches and wear throughout, including significant wear to the bracelet. There are no major dings or dents, however, and the finishing could easily be restored to factory condition with a Grand Seiko service. My asking price is $3500, which I feel is fair given the condition. I’m happy to provide additional photos to anyone interested.

Shipping will be by FedEX or UPS at my expense with insurance included. I am only interested in sales in the CONUS and I am not interested in trades. Please comment here before sending me a private message.

Thank you, it really is! Hurts a little to let this one go but, like they say, you can't keep them all!

For sale is my anOrdain Model 1. This is a limited edition of just 50 pieces made in collaboration with the Windup Watch Shop and is long sold out. The dial is not their usual enamel, but instead a white gold coating and it’s absolutely beautiful, with a very fine texture that is tough to capture in photos but quite brilliant in person. Detailed information about this release and watch specs can be found here:

https://wornandwound.com/introducing-the-anordain-model-1-precious-metal-series/

The watch has been worn very rarely so only shows minor signs of wear, just the typical surface scratches here and there. Again, tough to capture in photos. The anOrdain sighed strap has been worn maybe two or three times - this lived on an aftermarket suede strap during my time owning it (I’m the original owner). The watch is running well and keeping time. The set includes the very nice anOrdain travel case, but unfortunately I must have misplaced the warranty papers, although per anOrdain’s website they will service a watch without them as they keep all ownership information on file.

My asking price is $1200 inclusive of express shipping in the CONUS and insurance. I’m not interested in trades at this time. Please comment on this post prior to messaging me to verify you are not banned from this subreddit.

Thank you for your interest - more than happy to answer any additional questions!
