··Oooo subtitles!Whoever you use, be aware you will may have to include a watch worksheet breaking down the component value of case, movement, battery! etc since there is duty payable on watches imported into the US, it is only ~5% but it is a PITA to get the paperwork good enough for them to pass the watch without delay in my experience. Don't be tempted to send anything which could be on the CITES watch list like a Croc or Alligator strap.

··Oooo subtitles!This isn't as silly a suggestion as all that. You can currently fly BHX to EWR for about £300 return, making postage look a bit pricey.

·Its ridiculously complex and what with customs forms and declarations....its just not worth the risk. So much for an easy to trade global world. Private seller to private buyer too! Oh well thanks. Minimum cost I found was in the order of £200 to insure (loss only!) and another £40 to mail.

··Oooo subtitles!Take a look at TZ-UK and search on Parcel Pro. An ex employee of Parcel Pro set up a competing service, based in LA I think, who will happily insure UK individuals for shipments like this and indeed domestic shipments also. He was a regular poster there and seemed happy to help I am afraid I can’t remember the details and haven’t got time to find them but that did look like a plausible alternative.
Do feed back if you find a good solution.

·I think DHL insure up to £4k on watches for 1.5% of value? Would work out as £52.50.
