Hi all, New to to this forum, so first a brief introduction. I'm from Holland and currently own an Orsa Sea Angler (Orange) Bought it pre-owned and am very pleased with it. So looking for a new watch for the summer I stumbled into the Orsa Monstrum and liked it immediately. In fact I won an auction of one on eBay, from user "orsawatchco". Does anybody here know this guy? His eBay-reputation seems fine, and actually I figured this was the guy behind Orsa himself. However: I won the auction ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=230217146840 ) on February 5th, made payment immediately through PayPal but haven't heard from seller ever since. I sent him a message a few days ago, but no reply whatsoever... I'm starting to get worried. Does anybody here know this seller? And can anybody reassure me? :) Last edited on Sat Feb 9th, 2008 06:07 am by Snooker |

You have no reason to worry, Berg the owner is a responsible guy, he was coming to Los Angeles on vacation, so he may still be on Holiday. He also has a full time job and sometimes gets a little busy with his Real Job and His Watch Hobby. Dont sweat it, your in good hands. Cheeers |

No need for worries. You will get your Monstrum soon enough, and you will love it!! So many times with eBay I never hear a word from the seller and the package magically arrives. |

I am in the same boat... I purchased a Monstrum from Orsa's Ebay auction on Jan 28th and have yet to receive the watch. However, I did receive this response to my inquiry of the delay: Dear jdbuckwell, jd your watch was shipped last monday , it was shipped late because you bought your watch when i was out of town , i came back the feb the 1st , very sorry for the delay . hotmail is down right now , soon i get access , i will send you the tracking no. martin - orsawatchco Though I am not pleased with how long this has taken to receive an Ebay purchase, (which should be within a week, unless otherwise stated), I am pleased with the reviews I've read regarding this watch. I actually purchased a yellow Monstrum two days ago... now I'm wondering which one will get to me first--haha! Bottom line--There is no record of a bad watch, or a failure to ship from Orsa, so hang in there. |

Well I got a reply from Martin, he has been sick in bed for the last week, so he had some delay in shipping items.  |

Well, the green Beast has finally arrived! After more than seven weeks (I guess it went across the Atlantic pond in a rowing boat...) Martin was already planning on sending out a second watch, because we were afraid it had gone lost somehow. But just when we agreed he would ship a new one (and this time by FedEx), the mailman arrived at my doorstep with the Canada Post package! I'm a happy chap! Thanks Martin for your cooperation! :) |

Hmm, I've had similar unexplicable delays with lug screws - 4 weeks and counting and I'm in Canada; like the old song said: things that make you go, hmmmm |
