panerai153 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 I'm not from Portugal, but have shipped a couple of genuine watches to Portugal several years ago. Had no problems. I believe that most members in the EU use what is called Triangle shipping. What that is is the dealer ships your watch to one of his associates in the UK, then the watch is shipped to you from the UK,, so you don't have the customs problems with shipping from China to you.

Nightwatch Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Hi and welcome to the forum, You may use Andrew from Ttw but You must use shipping via UK option - always and pay extra $40-$50 - choose 2 watches. That option is expensive but safe for 1 or 2 watches (3 is risky), 4 or 5 will be apprehended. Torobravos ships from Spain if You ask him, takes time but is same/better shipping is a little cheaper and has a very good "hot" section with special offers. Shipping time is +- 3 weeks and safe/ no problem. TD who do not offer shipping via UK You cannot use. As a second watch You may choose quartz (+- 128 usd) or Rolex/others with the cheaper Asian 2813 movement for $168. Wish You good choices:) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraggle42 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 When shopping with the TDs it is better to email the "top dog" first and just say what watch you want, exactly (and by that I mean colour of dial, case, bezel (if there are options), bracelet or strap, clasp, etc, etc, say where you are and exactly what postal service you recommend. If there is anything you are not clear on, ask here like you have done, or ask the TD. Once you have everything sorted exactly between you and the TD, ask the TD exactly what you need to order and where from their website. As an example of newbie cluelessness and not asking the TDs at the start, my first two rep watches I ordered with shipping via the UK. I mean, I live in the UK, so I want them sent to the UK obviously! The website explanation of this "UK shipping" was terrible and I didn't realise it meant via the UK and then onwards to somewhere else, so that wasted $35 (that I had as a credit note for the next order). So it's like anything else really, good communications are the key to everything running smoothly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
