AP deal abroad

Hi Guys

iv managed locate a watch I am after and I am willing to fly out to collect, any ideas on how the fastest way to transfer funds to the private seller without having to transfer in advance, uk banks don't issue international bankers draft, Chrono24 charge 6% which works out to be £1300, is there a service were funds will clear instantly ?

my other idea was to try locate a independent in the area and pay them 200 / 300 dollars to act as the middle man, they hold the watch until funds clear incase it takes over 24 hours, any other service anyone can advise me of

uk to us

Can’t you transfer from your phone? I can do at least 40k from mine, that’s how I paid for my 15407 and the funds appeared with AP immediately.

Can’t you transfer the money from your phone when you’re with him?

Prepare the wire transfer from the US and have your personal banker execute on your command. It will not be instant, unless you use an international bank like Citi Bank of HSBC that have branches world wide.
