I've never heard of valuation required for postal service. I state the amount I want to cover, and that is priced commensurately. Are you using US Postal Service or someone else?

For example, I shipped a 2000s Seamaster Professional using Priority Mail to Seattle and insured it for $2500, which is about replacement cost.

For you, I would recommend registered mail and insure for $5000. It will cost a lot but it's worth it.

For registed mail, btw, you must use paper tape to seal the box, as they stamp it all over to detect tampering.
Thank you! I just needed an idea of what to insure it for shipping.

It's a nice watch, but I think we are getting a little carried away with valuation here. It's not a Patek. And insurance won't replace the sentimental value. I would be going with what is more reliable (FedEx) as opposed to worrying about the insured value.

Local FedEx drivers here can't find my address so my stuff gets next door or on the other side of the building.

Nothing wrong with Registered Mail.

Just expressing a different perspective Tom. If you don't mind. But feel free to have the last word ... as usual.
