    What a waste of paper, space, and resources for just one little tool ::facepalm2::… Shipped free via express UPS and tracked from Germany to Barcelona… totaling 10€!! ::screwloose:: It was too good not to order this little TAG Heuer souvenir ;) And the red envelope is really nice :thumbsup:

    How surprised would an unwitting person be if he/she got this thinking it was something expensive seeing the security tape used, lol.

    Now I can see there are some “biases” in TH’s packaging :whistling::whistling:

    Did your package came from Germany sir @Albert-AMG ? Mine came directly Switzerland :)

    Yes, from Germany. This is the address where the package came from:
    053EF257-C6C8-41A2-9143-9A2E649EFC18.jpeg

    Perhaps a logistics center in Germany for shipments within Europe, to avoid customs fees

    I see now. Thanks for the explanation sir :thumbsup:

    It might be suspicious if the sender is from TAG Heuer and came with a small package ;) (and scrutinize more for a watch) So a bigger box was used ? Reverse psych :whistling::whistling:

    So, if it is not due to customs taxes on shipments to Europe, I can no longer think of an explanation for some shipments being made from Switzerland and others from Germany other than purely logistical issues ::confused2::

    The shipping kit to send your watch for repair, which contains the grey TH travel case, is packaged in a box barely larger than the case itself so this is hilarious.

    We must have depleted the stock in La-Chaux-de-Fonds early on. Now they’re scraping the rests remaining in other
    LVMH logistical centers :D

    20230125_125227.jpg I received this Bremont springbar tool with a Bremont watch (my Mrs bought me one too::confused2::)
    Although I've been told it isn't the pukka 6767 Bergeon I can't tell the difference.
    The knurling is exactly same as are the dimensions and most importantly the forks.

    I just received a confirmation of receipt yesterday. I wonder what they'll do. Send a new one or refund my 10 euros. Mine came directly from Chauds-des-Fonds.
