I've been thinking the same.
You mean spliting and sending the watches i 3 separate packages?
Statistic wise you are 3 times more likely to get a watch seized by customs, instead of sending 3 watches in one package.
If that package gets seized there is a hell of a lot money going down the drain.
You guys are talking about the Swiss PO, right?
Because I have the Asian one, and I removed the links with an ordinary 1 mm screw driver.
Simple as that!
