@Pongster: Yes, its a black card. The serial number starts with a letter Q. Would you please let me know the significance of the black card? This is my first time to collect Tudor. Thanks much!

Mind letting me know the name of the concierge service? I’m in your exact same position :(

OP congrats on your pickup! Would you mind PM’ing me the details of the third party service you used to aid in picking up the watch? I am in the same predicament now as I am in the U.S. and was just notified that my watch is ready for pickup.

Any other suggestions would also be appreciated.

Congrats! It's by far the best-looking green sub to date, IMO of course.

That watch is so freaking cool! I love the olive green and the dial accents. Such a home run and quite rare in the wild. Congrats!
