Greetings! Buying Rolex Sub and AP 15400 Royal Oak in europe!

[ruimpinho]

Hello guys! Found this forum while browsing the web about watches. I'm from EU! Hope to help as many people here as I can!  

 

I'm in the market for 2 of my favourite watches ever. Here's an overview of what I'm looking for:

1) - The classic Submariner 116610LN (date). New or used. I have preference for Noob V9 or ARF since they are the best quality from what I heard. I prefer having the watch to have sharpie/ spongebob insert and prof cristal (black hole effect on the date). Don't care too much about movement, as long as it's working smoothly and not losing much time every day (I heard 2824 is more reliable and cheaper than 3135). Ideal scenario: as new watch with the mods mentioned above and decent price. If you have a franken sub, I might consider it, but I don't want to spend too much. Throw your proposals!

2) - AP 15400 Royal Oak SS BLACK dial. JF V3 or V4. I'd love to have it with AR cristal (there's a youtube video of one, not sure I can share it here). New or used All depends on the price and condition. Same as above!

Now the most important thing. I'm based in a EU country with very strict customs when it comes to goods outside EU. Anything valued over 20 euros is stopped. Therefore, I need a EU based seller to handle the process. Just like other cases seen before on this forum!

- Can anyone provide me watches 1) and/or 2) stock / with mods INSIDE EU for a not to high price? (Looking for a good oportunity, but don't want to bargain to much)
- If you need to order from China, can you handle the QC, do the mods (you do it or send it to someone who does it) and then ship it for me (triangular shipping)?

Let me know your best deals! Reply to this topic or send me PM. Thank you!

Welcome to our community. I’m unsure how much success you will have with this strategy. If someone is looking to sell it might work well for both of you. If not Sead caries U.K. stock and some of the other dealers do triangular shipping via the U.K.

Once you have the watches, you can work with an EU based watch modder

Dear Sogeha,

 

Thank you you for your input! I already contacted Sead! He seems like a great seller. But he only sells stock watches. My best luck would be finding some forum member with a modded watch and then doing triangular shipping. 

 

MODS ARE NOT MANDATORY though! I’m open to your proposals! Any EU member with ARF/NOOB and a stock 15400 black dial please PM me with your best offer!

 

 

 

Does anyone know EU modders for submariners (Only SpongeBob and cristal) and AP (anti reflective coating)?
