jkerouac Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Do you travel with your rep ? When one of them allows me to travel along, then yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frontin Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 All the time! Is there some law against it? What the hell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrnixon Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Wouldnt worry at all about that. Lets face it, 95% of the population has not idea even what Panerai is at all. Of the remaining 5% maybe 5% would be able to spot a fake from a gen. And from there one should be so unlucky that a customs officer should be the one stopping you and asking you to show your watch? Has anyone ever been asked to show your watch in a customs control looking for fakes? And if if it was a fake and the customs officers sees it, would he care? We are not exactly talking about 500 grams heroin here. No I would say it is absolutely risk free to travel with a fake. Or even argue that it is better wearing a fake watch when travelling since it is less money so if you loose it is not the end of the world. Loosing a gen can be a bit more anoying.

Pix Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Wich rep are you wearing in this case ? Never have been looked by custom ? Hi, any of the 3 in my signature... Customs look more after what's in your luggage than what's on your wrist. When I go to Switzerland, I wear an genuine Swiss watch, so that if they check anything, they can feel happy about Switzerland's export power to France Wouldnt worry at all about that. Lets face it, 95% of the population has not idea even what Panerai is at all. Of the remaining 5% maybe 5% would be able to spot a fake from a gen.

I would just avoid hiding some drugs in the watch's case... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 I wear one and usually bring another one or two in a simple leather case. All that has happened is that I get complimented on them. The watches don't look brand new and its not like you are carrying the boxes or papers. Concern over Swiss watches in Switzerland is pretty funny. I used to travel to Switzerland monthly and no one ever gave it a second thought. After all, no Swiss citizen actually makes Swiss watches other than the movements in super high-end watches. It is all guest workers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
