Surprised RR has the influence to get on this! However I think it’s only 50, I do like his version. He did mention this is his first. Guess Carlos had some other models that Rob may influence.

Even Christopher Ward will do tailor-made trinkets. I doubt it's likely RR influenced anyone in making any changes in the bulk designs normally offered on Borealis launches. Having a small batch made with your name on the case back and subtle changes is one thing. Carlos has made trinkets before in bulk under his Prometheus brand designed for DWFG. CREPAS and other brands like Steinhart will also do it.

The more I look at the hour hand RR picked on the dial it looks out of place with the rest of the look compared to the offered by Carlos. I'm also not too crazy about his choice of hour markers. My trinket is due in tomorrow.

Hello Mike,

I have been twice on the phone with Fedex. Information is that they are having huge
constraints in France with many people on holidays and all they tell me is that we have to wait.

I know it is not the answer you are looking for but at this stage all I can do is to put pressure with Fedex.

Best regards,
Carlos Carvalho


 
yeah i remember as a hairy smelly teen FRANCE CLOSES DOWN IN AUGUST UNIVERSAL VAYCAY

- fast forward they have that strong labor movement yellow shirts...

hope the transit gets unsnarled ...that is nice explorer homage with the latest paint technology

i always had gr8 experiences with BOREALIS and would luv to visit PORTUGAL and the AL GARVE

I've always had very good experience with Borealis and Prometheus. As I mentioned to Carlos the longer these things sit in limbo the higher the risk of them being "misplaced". If after waiting a considerate amount of time and things are still frozen I'll have to make a decision for my best interest and it won't be any reflection on Borealis or Carlos. I still would not hesitate to buy more trinkets, but hopefully FedEx won't be part of the plan when it comes to deliveries.

 
Hello Mike,

I have sent it to them as requested. Be aware the invoice was sent 3 times to Fedex Portugal and they have forwarded it to Fedex France.
I have been in contact two times this morning with Fedex Portugal. They told me Fedex France had a backlog of a few days due to reduced number of personnel and they were starting to recover from the delays.

Let's give it a couple more days. If nothing happens I will send you a new piece.

Best Regards,
Carlos Carvalho

All Ile-de-France platforms, including the main ones, Alfortville, Weissos and Tremblay-en-France (Seine-Saint-Denis) are blocked, causing queues for trucks on the A86, A104 and A6 , were prevented from unloading their goods, and others (the trucks) were blocked at the sites and not being able to leave.”

massive resentment​

“The customs department in Ellancourt (Evelyn) is also down,” he adds.

“It is massive resentment being expressed against FedEx’s disastrous HR policy, which has never been better than during the health crisis (in Covid-19) but considers us second-rate employees compared to the Air Division (FRT) with no salary recognition, without Reward, without incentive, with unacceptable disparities in treatment,”

Unless the package is lost and or can't be located a shipper/vendor should be able to have the limbo shipment boomerang back to them. Still, it is more desirable to let things play out if both sides are agreeable. I had one instance where I was willing to wait, but Elshan said we had waited long enough and another is being sent.

This one sat for a few months. ET had his guy in Singapore working on it. Finally, he sent me another shipment. Another month + passed long after I had already received the replacement shipment. It was a day or two before the eve of XMAS and I noticed a ragged looking package on my top step outside with all kinds of odd looking stickers. It was the one that was lost and could not be located. I contacted ET to make arrangements to send it back and was told no worries and to just keep it and cheers.
