Back last night from a 4 night/ 5 day trip to Paris/ La Rochelle

As good as I remembered it / got great weather.

Squeezed in 2 museums/ got tickets to go up Arc de Triomphe/ river cruise on the Seine so made the most of our time

When we walked down the Champs-Élysées unfortunately all the watch shops were closed / was about 9.30 am.

Not sure if the Olympic effect but city seemed very clean
Never felt unsafe / everyone walking around with phones out/ talking or taking pictures.
On train down to La Rochelle – guy opposite was wearing a panerai & woman across isle wearing a datejust
Met people at La Rochelle for dinner & one guy wearing a panerai & another a submariner
We stayed away from tourists spots & didn’t feel prices were too bad

Didn’t wear a watch but felt I would have been fine with anything i wore & was a bit disappointed I didn’t take one

I thought many here would enjoy the latest video from Jay Leno’s Garage. Watch content at 11:30.

Has anyone recently purchased a watch from China? What did you pay in duty, fees, and tariff?

It is that time again, I need to thin out my collection and some lucky TRFer can have this clock completely free. The serial number dates it to 1938 and I restored it about a year ago, running perfectly. If you are interested, just post something here in this thread and this Saturday, at exactly 3:46:36PM Pacific Time (or whenever I feel like it) I will do a random post # drawing and ship it to the winner. The only thing I ask is that you post a picture of it in your home/office wherever it is placed. Good luck to everyone that enters!

I recently started traveling a lot for work and back and forth to Fla.

So I was told I should get the Platinum card for all the travel benefits.

So far, I have tried 3 different types of trips with them, and they are always way overpriced.

I am right now on the phone with them. I found exactly what I wanted on Expedia first.

Amex is 3k higher. I politely said "thank you, anyway". They tried to explain the benefit. Breakfast and a carry on is hardly worth 3k. I said thank you, and hung up.

They called me back…

Now they are saying they can price match for me.

Totally weird.

Anyone else use Amex for travel?

Detective Joseph Azcona was shot and killed Friday while investigating illegal weapons possession at the corner of Carteret Street and Broadway Friday evening.

At 6:37 p.m. Detective Azcona and another officer arrived at the intersection of Carteret Street and Broadway to question a subject about possible weapons possession. The subject began firing on the officers immediately and both officers were struck while still in their vehicle. At least 18 shots were reported near the White Castle at the intersection. When responding officers arrived, they discovered Detective Azcona and the other officer, both wounded.

Both officers were transported to University Hospital where Detective Azcona succumbed to his wounds. The other officer was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Five juveniles were taken into custody. A 14-year-old, who was injured, was charged with weapons possession and murder.

Detective Azcona had served with the Newark Police Division for five years, the last two as a detective. He is survived by his mother, father, and five siblings.

Godspeed my brother, may you Rest In Peace.

I bought a watch online and it’s shipping from Switzerland into the USA. I got an email from DHL stating the following and that the shipment is on hold:

Effective Feb 4 any shipment with contents originating from China or Hong Kong and valued over $250 or otherwise requiring a formal entry with U.S. Customs, must have an Importer Number associated with it. This means you will be required to provide your company’s EIN (Employer Identification Number) if you are importing for a U.S.-based business or your SSN (Social Security Number) if you are importing as yourself for personal consumption. As required by US Customs regulation [19 CFR §111.24], such information is kept confidential by DHL Express and must not be shared with any party other than US Customs and Border Protection.

All the following elements are required for entry:

• Federal Tax ID/EIN or Social Security Number for the US Based Importer

• Legal name associated with Tax ID/EIN OR Social Security Number

• Proof of IRS to match the EIN or SSN entered (See attached list for acceptable IRS Proof)

• Address associated with EIN OR SSN

• Type of Address – residential, office building, warehouse, etc.

• Name, title, phone number and email of contact person

Has anybody heard of this? I don’t feel very comfortable sending DHL my Tax returns and my social security card.

For those of you who wear rubber straps, whether oyster flex or otherwise, how fastidious are you about matching to belt and so on?

I’ve always been inclined to match and tend to wear more brown leather, but my wife just gifted me the amazing ADLC Santos. I have no concerns wearing with jeans and casual wear respectively, but curious whether those of you with black rubber straps feel inclined to match.
