International private party purchase question.

If I were to purchase a pre-owned rolex from the UK, does this change anything for resale here in the states?

Pros and cons of out-of-country purchases?

Don't do it. As stated above by Phil, customs may seize it as you are not allowed it import any Rolex into the USA.

Couldn't agree with this more. I wouldn't take the risk.

I thought most transactions go in the other direction; USA to UK. Ask David SW

Which is quite absurd.

Great that we get to import them back into the EU though.
