Rep import story


Lunchtime

Recommended Posts

So... Finally got my first rep at my local post office. A registered parcel with a note on it saying that it has been opened by customs looking for an invoice. I got the package and reopened it and saw that they also had torn out the ticking pretty high quality Rolex rep inside the package, taped it up again and stamped it with "No import duty"... (?) What's their job again..?

Well, fine by me of course.

Anyway, here's my puny wrist with my first rep:post-45027-133858160795.jpg

I think they did not know about Ceramic Submariners, and thought you were importing a very bad replica with a plastic bezel :clap2:

"Hey Sigubjorn ... how much import tax on this Rolex? ... HAHA Sven, look at it! It is plastic. No tax!" --- my replication of the events at your tax office.

Customs here in Norway is pretty laid-back as long as you "import" for yourself and not for resale in large quantities ;)

What do you think of the replica quality Lunch?? Pretty good stuff compared to the crap you get on the streets in "syden" haha

Good to know, A-W;) Had just heard so many stories of seized watches and stuff.

I got this cheap, guys, and although I'm no rep expert yet it's certainly a lot better than the piece of rattling junk I bought outside a Mediterranean resort in the eighties:) Seems like a sturdy automatic watch any way you think of it. Heavier and smaller than I thought, but feels good on the wrist.
