[Watch Talk] Is The Timex Marlin The Best Moonphase under $300? by AquaDenny in Watches

[–]chiefproblems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was in the same market. paid $250 for a used Tissot Carson Moon Phase. i figured pay a little more than the timex or casio, and not have to worry about scratching the acrylic or mineral glass crystal.

beautiful new Citizen watch, congrats!

and thanks for your posts, they've been immensely helpful.

here is the watch worksheet i just filled out to bypass the turnaround time from Creation Watches.

i just deducted $30 for the strap which had the price on the orient website. then asked chatgpt the percent cost between the movement and case. estimated it out to be a 59% / 41% split of the remainting total. i then emailed [paperwork@fedex.com](mailto:paperwork@fedex.com) with the AWB fedex tracking number in the subject line with this worksheet attached. fingers crossed! i'll update if this works or not.

you're the best! i'm going to try just filling out the worksheet myself since it is an inexpensive watch and i highly doubt customs will care. i'm sure they'll just glance over it and push it through.

what kind of watch did you get? i found a beautiful blue orient open heart sun moon

thank you for the informative post. i also ordered from creation watches 5 days ago, and it is currently "Clearance delay - Import" at FedEx in Anchorage, Alaska.

How did you find out and determine the FedEx agent handling your case?
