Received the watch 2 days in advance thru USPS delivery system.  I liked the watch very much that I used it every day and keep my other luxury watches on standby.  I got it on the cheap because Amazon offered a 20% discount last month from the original price.  The only downside of this watch is that because it is mechanical it advances a minute every other day so i have to adjust the time every other day.  But aside from that problem I am fully satisfied with this purchase.
