Buying from the UK?
Hi Guys, saw a watch I really liked on Superlativetime.com, they seem pretty reputable. Just wondering if anyone has experience buying from UK?

Check your import laws, it used to be that the land of the free wasn't so free about buying watches from where you wanted to, and customs would confiscate them.

Mixed reports now on if you can or cannot bring Rolex's into the USA!
I have sent over a watch and bracelet both declared without any issues |

I had more trouble sending cigars to the US than I did a declared Rolex.
You will have to pay a customs duty, but it's cheap for anything SS, and attractively affordable on PM as well. |

It sounds like this can be a pain in the neck? You mean it can get confiscated?!?!? that would kill me

Rolex import issues to the US are old news. There are zero issues today. Just look at the TRF for sale section. 99% are mail orders from Italy.

Sounds to me like you should factor in a long weekend to the uk. All I'm saying

Sounds Awesome, seems like the prices on superlativetime.com are a lot cheaper then the current US prices. You guys notice this as well??
