The OWME 1120 is not just for US. It started in Europe and eventually all Omega parts accounts worldwide have to take it. It is the same test that the examiner and trainer had to take. Even watchmakers with experience can fail the test because it is based on skill and time. Out of 5 watchmakers, only 3 of us passed the test.
If it's a Rolex , don't do it. It's illegal to import a Rolex by mail into the U.S. You can only import one at a time, hand-carried across the border with duties paid.
This isn't one of those "everyone looks the other way" rules. Customs will take your watch.
Ask the seller to describe the package as a faulty timepiece being returned for a refund. also ask them to send it the least expensive option with no insurance. The chances of any package getting lost in the system are negligible these days.
This is illegal and will get you in trouble my friend.
I'll give you a chance to increase your post count.
Exactly what law am I breaking by sending a faulty watch back to the seller for a refund?
I won't hold my breath waiting for you to reply.
Oh, by the way, I'm not your friend.
It is illegal because you are not really sending a faulty watch for repair. you were trying to smuggle a watch into the US which is a felony if you are not aware. you are very smart by posting it online. screen shot... smile youre on camera my friend lol
Good luck with that.
I am sure that at this very moment the Home Office is drawing up papers to extradite DTM to the USA for mislabeling a watch he sent to Kansas
🙄
President Elect Trump invited Prime Minister May to visit at her first opportunity. Perhaps she might bring a shackled DTM as a housewarming gift.

Actually,Trump called May to tell her to give him a call if she ever visited the US.
And don't worry, the Home Office have as much authority here as North Korea.
I'm safe for now.
Can it be confirmed that the Rolex import restriction into the USA has been lifted?

You have seen it stated on here and have found an article describing it in detail. How much more confirmation do you need?
Just want to be on the right side of things. Appreciate the article if you can easily find it, otherwise dont worry, I'll do a Google trawl.
There is a lengthy thread here where Gatorcpa posted the specific information. You are welcome to search for it.
