    Even with import duties it’s still cheaper than the others listed- by a long shot. US customs are among the cheapest out there (as discussed in a other thread) so US members in good standing shouldn’t have too much concern on that.

    On your comment above about declaring lower value for customs- it’s is absolutely penny-wise pound foolish to try and circumvent duties as it will come back to bite the buyer (and the seller if an insurance claim is necessary). Not to mention incredibly rude and presumptuous to expect any seller to be willing to assist in committing fraud to save a few bucks.

    especially if following the distinction between the case, the movement and the strap/bracelet valuations

    Import to USA is relatively cheap, using Fedex Watch Import form.

    It is just sad that the cheapest TinTin from a reputable seller is out of my range.
    GLWS. Fully worth it.

    ….and don’t forget the devaluation of £ against dollar.

    A few dealers have been told in no uncertain terms to make their way to the far queue.

    If I could afford it I would really get a flight from Germany to the UK, I am sure that should be equally easy for most of our European members who are keen on acquiring this watch.

    The tax on a UK to USA watch import if done right and honestly declared (eg by using the form William mentions) is around 6.5%. Hardly a massive issue.

    Good luck with the sale Chris, keep dodging the sharks.

    SOLD!

    Many thanks to OF for the wonderful forum and marketplace, and to the Tintin’s new owner.

    It is now on its way north of the border thanks to the Time 4A Pint back channel courier network, to be delivered next week. :thumbsup:
