Hilversum is such a nice place!

Visited the museums at Amsterdam

Due to the fact that Bonifacio Day falls on November 30 which is a Sunday, the Philippine Government has declared that December 1, 2008 would be
a public non-working holiday. And therefore, there will be no Postal service and FEDEX service available.

You can find more about Andres Bonifacio over
here.

The Philippine Post Office has informed us that we will be experiencing a much slower shipping time due to the Christmas Holiday season.

The only shipping method that will be affected is the Registered Airmail which they said could take anywhere from 20 to 35 business days depending on the target destination.

In short, if you are going to order items via Registered Airmail starting today, November 26th, it could take more than a month to reach you.

Cheers to all!

I have received so many inquiries about buying from TheWatchWorks directly... and we always answer,.... Yes you can buy directly from us.

Please let me know what you are looking for and then if we agree on a price... then its a deal!

But please note that if you are going to use Paypal, we can only ship watches using FEDEX or IEMS (for selected countries).

And if you want to use the cheaper Registered Airmail which takes around 15 to 20 business days to reach you, you can only pay using:

www.xoom.com (you can use your Paypal thru Xoom)

www.moneybookers.com (very easy to use and it's FREE)

There are regular customers who buy directly from TheWatchWorks and we keep all transactions confidential of course.

Cheers!

This guy is a seller and an extortionist who threatens to leave negative feedback if not paid triple the amount of what he bought.

This are his registered details on eBay:

Olivier KHELIFI
133,avenue du Général LECLERC.
Immeuble "Le Perpignan3".
38200 VIENNE
France
Tel. : 0474531954

If you will look at his eBay feedback, he is more of a re-seller of watches. There are bad eggs on eBay and we cannot really avoid them. This guy is one bad egg.

Imagine, leaving a negative feedback for a $10 item? And he wanted $30 back? Who would agree to that?

We do not give-in to feedback extortion.

We are brand-new to Facebook but not under the name TheWatchWorks. Send us an email or a message so that we can invite you to Facebook if you consider us your friend.

It is always great to have new friends!

Cheers!

The Seiko 6319-7040 is really a Feiko. It is not even found in the Seiko Diver's reference or in any Seiko Catalog for that matter.

The best article ever made regarding the Seiko 6319-7040 can be found here http://quartzimodo.com/articles/the-controversial-seiko-6319-7040-diver/

Enjoy the article by my friend Stratman!

Bruges (Brugge), Belgium was not part of our Celebrity Century cruise tour. We just went there on our own using the train from Amsterdam with some transfers. Bruges is a lovely place to visit. We stayed at Hotel Ter Duinen which has 5-Star personal service by the owners. The son of the owner actually spent 3 weeks in the Philippines some time ago as an exchange student. It is truly a small world out there and it is always good to have friends in all countries.

We have a nice Seiko 6117-6400 which is currently for sale HERE.
Price is negotiable. Cheers!

And I have included it here because some buyers think that they have bought a quartz watch that does not run. It is sometimes difficult to describe how to "wind" an automatic watch and so the best is to use this visual aid.

Hope this helps.

FOTKI - is another Image Hosting / Photo-Sharing website where you can upload your pictures and share it with the rest of the world. Although FOTKI is not new, it is not as popular as Photobucket or Flickr or Picasa Web.

FOTKI has nice tools and lots of short-cuts for "bulk-editing" which is a must for those that have lots of pictures. I am just new to FOTKI and so I found it terribly-slow when it came to uploading pictures. I do not know if the method I chose was wrong or if there was a glitch on their site during that day.

FOTKI is considered to be a "Free" Image-Hosting site although you can also upgrade to get more premium services if needed. Images can be tagged in bulk and organized into albums.

I just recently uploaded around 15 pictures of a Seiko 6105-8119 and it is easily found by just typing the word "Seiko" on the search bar.

Queensland police net eBay fraudsters

Queensland police say they have tracked down 23 repeat offenders responsible for about half the state's reported fraud complaints from eBay online auction users.

Last May, the state's fraud squad launched a world-first website allowing Australian eBay customers to report online fraud.

Previously, eBay customers whose purchases did not arrive or were not what they expected could only complain to local police.

Police often found the problem could have been easily resolved between the two parties, but in cases of criminal fraud they had difficulties investigating offenders in other jurisdictions.

Police Minister Judy Spence told state parliament that under the new system, 416 matters had been reported - 60 per cent by Queensland victims about Queensland offenders.
