    Hello.
    I want to send a watch from Germany to the USA. Value is 1500€. How do you send your watches? I'm asking, because all of the companies I had a look at so far, do not accept watches with values higher than 500€. I would appreciate any help.

    I have used this service once for shipping from Germany to Asia (with pretty good experience):

    https://www.intex-paketdienst.de/website/

    They offered insurance up to 10k€. The only reason why I wouldn't do it again is the custom process. I had to pack the watch in front of the officer to get it immediately sealed. As a (regular) private seller I would need to order a special customs number - so I prefer to ship only within the EU or (if outside) at a value below 1k€. You can find additional info here:

    You must use an insured courier service. I hope you factored this cost into your sell price.
