We'll see what the morning brings...as just spoke to FedEx again (twice) and ONCE AGAIN, two stories, one says in CA other says in Memphis. Website shows 'pending' that's it.

Is this 2017? Is this that hard?

I give up and if not at my house by 10:30AM tomorrow, I'll just open up insurance claim and let them and AD deal with the complete morons at FedEx.

Hate companies that lie and FedEx 'support' is a champion for that from my interactions all day. Pathetic.

Simple question "Where is my package". Crickets.

---

Side note, thank you TRF friends for helping me through the day...very frustrating.

Excited for you

Sorry Paul and look forward to the incoming. I had a similar instance two weeks ago with another carrier which might or might not be brown They have an app that lets you track your package on the truck but it only updates when the truck stops. My watch was within a two mile radius of my house all day, once as close as one block and the driver marked it undelivered due to weather

Today's another day

FedEx, when it absolutely, positively has be there…a day late…any who!

On to the fun stuff…seems like forever ago that I told my AD to move forward with two new RM’s.

I actually said on 035-02 that I would take EITHER TPT (red) or NTPT (black). NTPT is really not into channels yet (a few) and TPT is so darn limited I didn’t know which one I would get. Told him surprise me.

I was actually secretly hoping it was TPT red…and hot damn it was! RM is getting so hard to obtain, it’s almost silly, but some long timers still have a chance at the new stuff via our AD’s

WOW this one is just so layered in depth (it’s a must see in person watch). I love it! Never would I have bought a color so BOOM, but whoa, this one is SO worth it! I really miss my 035-01, but very glad to have an automatic version and some color pop! Will pair perfect with my other incoming…hopefully soon.

Black and a red Kevlar strap ordered for it already.

More pics to come when sun comes out as it’s completely cloudy right now…thank you for looking.

Glad you finally got it! It looks like it was worth the wait. Beautiful watch!

So do you have a new red car to go with that?

Yowzer!!! That is so cool. Massive congratulations. The red case is so distinctive - if you're going RM it's never going to be discrete so might as well go the whole hog!

Love it.. Glad it worked out for you. I went through the same thing recently with an overnight package right before the holidays, so I figured it would be a similar case. I don't think I was as stressed as you though :)
