Is it being shipped here or are you bringing it in? Search these threads and I think you'll find both are pretty well covered.

Europe to U.S.

Real briefly, if you're traveling out of the USA and personally bringing in a single Rolex, you'll have no problem and other's who've posted say when declared, they usuall have to pay something on the order of 2% as duty. I don't think anyone would recommend that you try and sneak it in.

If you're thinking of buying from the USA and having it shipped in, that's not allowed due to trademark protections and restrictions. If caught, at best your intended purchase will be returned to the sender and at worst, confiscated.

Search the threads for more exacting stories.

No,it is not allowed, in fact, if caught they will confiscate and send back to the original shipper - at the shippers cost.

It is a breach of trademark law to import a Rolex into the US (other coutries have similar laws) without the Trademark owners (Rolex USA) written consent, and they do not give that consent.

Try typing in "https" at the beginning of the URL (in place of "http")

And what about from USA to Europe? I am in London and I want to buy from USA, I understand (correct me if I am wrong) that are ways to skip customs! In case the seller declare full price then you have to pay the VAT (around 20%) right?

Europe to USA can be done but not legally. I wanted to buy from an Italian dealer and as soon as they found out it was a U.S address they wouldn't ship. I wouldn't even consider trying to get it in under the radar, just not worth the risk.
