Ist this an inside South Africa trade? As I understand it, deals outside your country can be complicated via PayPal and your vicious Customs, correct?

It is an inside South Africa trade.

Actually PayPal and customs issues are not anymore a problem than anywhere else in the world.

I recently bought a vintage, SS BOR bracelet from an OF member from the Netherlands (through OF sales) without any issues.
I paid via PayPal and it cleared customs without issues👍

Got more information from the IWC collectors forum which is interesting.

Yep - let us know if Uncle Pinkie turns into a positive ID!

That IWC is gorgeous and much rarer in South Africa than the Connies, which are good watches but much easier to find here.

NKB — if you’re in Cape Town, did you find the IWC at a vintage jeweler in the CBD? I was admiring a similar gold IWC in the window of a shop on Long Street yesterday. Was wondering if it might be the same watch.

Long street, that takes me back. Nice to see some boitjies on OF.

Good luck with what you decide, OP.
