The Akira NY watch thread

Recommended Posts

Hello fellow members smile.png

I thought I'd survive the 6 months in the US without a nice rep on my wrist, but apparently

I was only kidding myself lol.gif

So here is the deal. CONUS only!

Is there a nice member who likes to sell me either:

1. a very nice modded vintage Rolex?

- 62XX Daytona

- 5512/13

- 5508/5510

- 1665 GW

- 1016

2. recent N-factory PAMs

- surprise me smile.png

Also - like some of you know - I lend my 1675 Franken to Solky during my US time.

I'm a trustworthy person and if another trustworthy person would like to "lend" a watch to me...

In exchange for money as a deposit - I'd be more than happy as well.

Meaning, I want to get rid of the watch when I leave the US in August anyways, so we could just agree

I send it back then and you refund the amount smile.png

Just post a pic of your offer if you like and I will contact you

PS: Price shouldn't be much over $300 in sale value and not much over $400 in loan smile.png

Thanks to all of you

Cheers

Akira

Thanks Val, you know there are a lot of watches in your collection I'd have loved to "loan" :)

About not taking a watch, I wear one - a genuine Skagen Automatic - but didn't take any reps because of German customs

when getting back....they can be a real PITA :D

Really?

German customs officer would see a sub on your wrist and spot it as a rep?

And then take it from you? That's amazing to me. How do they authenticate a watch?

Chances are they don't spot it at all...

If they do, they might ask for purchase proof, because they'd need a tax proof etc. because of import rules.

19% taxes on any item purchased outside the EU over 450€ and purchased in the last 5 years.

I know chances are small, but I couldn't live happy anymore if anything would go wrong and I'd loose my Franken 1675 because of it.
