rikf Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 How do you guys normally have it shipped here? Do you ever have to pay import duties? Anybody know a good watch smith in central/ north west London?
fitmic Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 You should stick to Precious Time and/or Narikaa. They are both based in Uk.
TeeJay Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 How do you guys normally have it shipped here? Do you ever have to pay import duties? Anybody know a good watch smith in central/ north west London? My stuff has arrived both by regular mail and by courier (Parcel Force take over the local end) and never had a problem. I couldn't suggest a specific watch smith, but I've found the best ones to try are the independant family owned stores. In London, I can't imagine you'd have much trouble finding one
baltic Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 Get your watches from Precious Time (PT), do a search for his web address.

baltic Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 I've bought from EL (in the good old days) and Joshua and not had a problem yet.
millemiglia Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 Good to hear Anyone else had packages shipped from overseas (to EU) without (or with) troubles?
FxrAndy Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 Never had a problems with UK customs just with "Parcel Farce" but using Presious Time Narika or Homer now he is listing here should be nice and easy in the UK and even the rest of the EU
jamesg Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 I've had 4 or 5 watches from Andrew & Sash plus some LV bags from Ken shipped to the UK from China with no problems at all. Delivery time ranged from 2-4 weeks. If anything Parcel Force are more likely to damage or lose your stuff rather than make a customs seizure! But for quick & risk free ordering definately go with PT or Narikka - they have to take the Parcel Force risk up front!
hyster Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 Bought numerous times from overseas with no trouble at all, UK is a good place to ship to IMO.
TeeJay Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 So you bought from overseas and had no trouble? P.S. PT is one of the best in the world no arguing there but wondering about overseas... Absolutely. I've had watches come from China, Malaysia and Thailand, all came through without problems
Highflyingclive Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 I have been collecting for years - and have dozens of watches. I have never - ever - had a problem with watches coming in from China. A couple of times, I had to pay a minimal amout - less than
