superlative Posted October 11, 2012 Report Posted October 11, 2012 Any problems with me bringing 4 watches on my travels to Europe?
whoever Posted October 11, 2012 Report Posted October 11, 2012 don't take them in your hand luggage, or don't wear them all at the same time..... but no, no prob!
superlative Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Posted October 11, 2012 Do you mean my carry-on luggage? Why not? Should I stuff them in socks or something on my stowed luggage?
whoever Posted October 11, 2012 Report Posted October 11, 2012 i mean the luggage you don't take in the cabin. Don't know how you call that in english.....sorry
superlative Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Posted October 11, 2012 The luggage that you don't take with you in the cabin is called checked luggage. You're saying it's better to stow the watches on my carry-on/hand luggage, correct? I'm just trying to be 100% sure.
whoever Posted October 11, 2012 Report Posted October 11, 2012 opposite, sorry i wasn't clear. In the checked luggage, take them in your checked luggage.
ilovethiscity Posted October 11, 2012 Report Posted October 11, 2012 I have travelled everywhere with up to 3 watches at a time I always have them in my hand luggage.. don't trust them out of my site even with the little padlock much happier in there
anics Posted October 11, 2012 Report Posted October 11, 2012 Me too. I usually travel across Europe and the US with 3-4 watches at a time in my hand luggage. Never had a problem.
Watchmeister Posted October 11, 2012 Report Posted October 11, 2012 Me too. I usually travel across Europe and the US with 3-4 watches at a time in my hand luggage. Never had a problem. +1. I made it a point to invest in a nice 2 watch carrier as I bring three typically and I have actually gotten nice comments from customs when they do occasionally search your bag. A good case gives a lot of crediblity to even the crappiest rep.
panerai153 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Posted October 11, 2012 I wouldn't worry about 3 or maybe 4 .I would invest in a nice travel case like watchmeister said, adds some credibility. Always carry them in your carry on, NEVER in checked baggage.
gmtlover Posted October 11, 2012 Report Posted October 11, 2012 It is allowed to take 4 rep watches in to the Netherlands with you
rickdangerous Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 It is allowed to take 4 rep watches in to the Netherlands with you The law in the Netherlands actually states the number of illegal goods you can travel with? 1

Watchmeister Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 NOT to Italy for your own safety! Now you tell me. I have gone in and out of Milan and Rome at least 2 or 3 times in the last couple of years but then again I don't remember customs opening up my bags going through there so it may well be luck. In any case I have traveled on 4 out of the 5 well populated continents on a regular basis and other than compliments for the few times a customs agent has rifled through my carry-on it has been all good. I really am convinced that a nice traveling watch case (and for god sakes - not obvious fakes) will serve you well.

I really am convinced that a nice traveling watch case (and for god sakes - not obvious fakes) will serve you well. Of course you can go in and out 100 times without a problem. The problem is however that in Italy and France opposing to most European countries the ownership of counterfeit goods is a federal offense. In other European countries ownership is legal, only trade is illegal. Having said that ownership, of counterfeit goods can cost a fine of up to 10.000 €. so to take the risk of a completely ruined vacation just to have your favourite wathces with you is probably not worth it. 1
ajs914 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 I wear a low profile watch while traveling abroad - like my Invicta sub.
gmtlover Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 The law in the Netherlands actually states the number of illegal goods you can travel with? It does! you can take them with you while travelling but not via post.. I know it is stupid but it is true
dluddy Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 I'v never had a problem and like Watchmeister, I have alwaus had them in a nice zippered watch case from River and kept it in my carryon or briefcase. I would not put them in your checked bags. They have a better chance of disappearing
superlative Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Posted October 14, 2012 Hey guys! I arrived in France safely with my 5 watches (1 was on the wrist, the other 4 in a zippered leather carry case). Only 2 of my 5 are reps...and they are very good Frankens. Bonjour de France!
