GoFaster Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 I took the plane from Geneva three times this last month and put my Sub ceramic or my 1680 in the case at the control and no problem... And it's Switzerland ! It could be a problem if you put it or them in your bagages and that customs open them for control... I think it's better to wear it, more natural!

GoFaster Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 So one more time, I just come back Morocco and took the Plane at Lyon Saint Exupery and no problem... And when you come from Morocco true me a lot of persons go back to home with a lot of counterfeits (shirts Ralph Lauren, Nike shoes, Rolex watches,LV bags,etc.)... And most of Rep from Morocco are bad quality and if you put in Luggages without plastic bags or if you wear them, no problem with customs.

penaduny Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 here is a tip, don't be an idiot and check any watches like i did got to the hotel, opened up the bag, my tag was MISSING! called the airlines - now that was a retarded conversation.... "we have no record of a watch fitting that description in the lost and found" "could it have been stolen?" "oh no sir we do strict background checks on all employees". lol!!!!!!!! doesn't rule out the possibility of an employee having good taste in watches :/ was a tag link from Andrew. just sooo glad i didn't check any gens!

Ronin Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I recently spent 3 weeks in Europe (FR, IT, CH(Switzerland). Although I only took 2 Gen's with me, there was never even a glance or second look. I kept the 2nd watch I was not wearing in a man-bag when traveling through the airport. Again, no red flags when I put the watch I was also wearing in the bag to go thru the metal detectors. It was funny, I was in Cannes during the Panerai Regatta, and I saw so many REP's in the South of France it was surprisingly funny. Most notable were the "Quartz Ticking" Navitimer rep, and bad Submariner and GMT reps. Actually, I saw more REPs in the EU than I have in my local metro area. Short answer, unless you have a briefcase or suit case full of reps, it will not be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rymeister Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I'm loving the idea of dropping a rep on the floor in the airport!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJGladeRaider Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I travel a lot, London, Paris, Middle East, Panama . . . never a problem even though I always have three, the one on my wrist, and two in a watch case. I also always carry with me a picture of one of my kids holding the watches before leaving. Just snap it with your cell phone and you're good to go.

Really Bad Story! A "chance", it was a Rep'! The last travel we did with my wife in Maghreb (Algeria), when we arrive on place, we've seen they stolen all make-Up (Dior, Chanel,etc.) and 1 bottle of Aromatic Elixir... And the baggage was well closed... My chance, my AP was on my wrist... Never in my Luggages... Never! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Whenever I travel my watches are with me.... I will always have anything of value in my hand baggage or pocket (yes, no matter the size), it never leaves my view .. Cameras, Jewellery, etc If you dont then you have no one to blame but yourself when it goes walkies... You cant trust no f**ker, no time, no where...

Cameras, Jewellery, etc If you dont then you have no one to blame but yourself when it goes walkies... You cant trust no f**ker, no time, no where... IMHO Bloody Heathrow... Had to catch a connecting flight to fly home to Aus, and they forced me to check my laptop bag "because I wasn't allowed two pieces of hand luggage". Which was an absolute crock, as other passengers were carrying more. Took my laptop out, but forgot my camera in the front pocket. Got home, checked, and found it was missing, presumably racked in the airport - and with all my London pics on it...some of them of me doing sexy-times with the hottie I was banging there too... What a stupid thing to forget, but I was tired and thought human decency would prevail. Man was I wrong... Never again. The safeguarding of personal security and property is No. 1. Back on point, Customs officials are mostly useless, and far more interested in catching drugs that reps (which is a sure-fire way to promotion).

PeteM Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Sorry to hear that mate But now you will have to go back and take more pics... !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabler Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 I travelled last November to NY from Spain and wore two of my reps, one in each wrist and nothing happened. These custom guys would never know, even if they where 60$ reps, wich of course they are not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
