If you have chosen the Standard Parcel option, your order has been shipped with the Dutch Postal Services. From the moment your order leaves our warehouse, the parcel has a Dutch Postal Services tracking number. Upon arrival in the country of delivery, a new tracking number of the local postal network is given to the parcel. A lot of times, these tracking number are not linked, and with this the tracking gets lost. This does not mean your parcel will not get delivered, it just means that tracking is limited.

Mechanical watches may show a deviation in timekeeping. The limit for this deviation is +6 minutes and -4 minutes per 24 hours.
