Wow 10% they exagerate, I know one AD who does full 20% refund, he holds the taxes off your card and recredits you when he gets the export papers from customs, but most use global blue and another, you are supposed to get like 15%, but in reality with their commission you get 13-14%, 10 I never heard of before, I guess it's a new way the government found to make money, they find a new one every week, IMO you should get all VAT refunded if the watch is exported, 10% is a rip off. Don't remember which service did it? Or did Hermes do it in direct?

I once saw a cotton white tshirt at Hermes which looked worse than the 25 dollar ones from Gap that I wear in Thailand or to sleep, really it looked worse not kidding, they were selling it for 900 euros, no need to explain me what ripoff Hermes can be after seeing it with your own eyes, ok they have very well made things, bags, carrés, etc, but some things it's like

Why haven't you picked up your watch that's finished again? Asking for a friend.

Looking forward to the reveal. I feel like I have seen this watch from birth and now it is about to graduate into adulthood.

Thanks Tom, can't believe it went 14 pages, though there were deviations in it, the 5167R for example, seeing how awesome Karl's looks can't wait to see mine

Lapince will you be starting a "August is my party month" thread with pictures of you and your friends at "tables of the coolest nightclubs"?

Nope sorry but you can look on you tube, lots of videos of Odessa clubs, ok will help, Ibiza club, Itaka club, Ministerium, and my favorite though not the best looking on video, but best people there, Park Residence. Have fun

Ok, I thought I would post one pic of my KV to keep the interest going, don't forget that when Karl sent me the pics of his watch that Kari sent him, he was very worried, and I thought "crap he messed up, don't look so good", when in real it looks amazing, so Kari's foto skills are opposite to his watchmaking skills, he told me the watch was gorgeous in real, so with Karl's experience I expect it to be. Just posting the front as the movement and engraving are clearly not well taken, the ruthenium looks light grey because of light and angle but he told méthe color is like my avatar, and the engraving is incredibly 3D, and I really don't think it was taken the right way. So here's for those following, and again I think it will be much nicer in real.
Ps: Kari, maybe a small course of taking pics would be nice, nothing fancy, just the basis... Oh and yes, this pic is without the crystal, not sure it's included in the price, or at least it looks like there is no crystal, might be wrong, but think without as there are small pecks of dust on the dial, I already wrote him about the ruthenium color, the lack or not of crystal was not a big worry, but seems to me he took it without as if I didn't like the outer dial color he said we could change it IMG_1502.JPG |

Wow, I wanted to make you guys happy, by putting 2-3 pics, but even by resizing them it tells me the size is too big, I already made them smaller but they're still like 2-3 times too big. Why is this happening on TRF??? Before almost all pics fitted, now I can't, too bad, had 1 a little like the nuclear physicist and her sister, pretty sure you guys remember those, page 5 or 6 I think. Sorry guys, did what I could. If someone can explain to me how to reduce a photo on an iphone, and no on computer is out of the question, I am married, I do NOT download my iPhone pics of my parties on the computer, that would be great

And I was supposed to get it earlier, maybe some were thinking that Arnaud's KV is an urban legend, like at some point for other of my watches, we all remember that so giving a third of the watch, movement and case back will clearly be when I have it |
