rikf Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitmic Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 You should stick to Precious Time and/or Narikaa. They are both based in Uk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Get your watches from Precious Time (PT), do a search for his web address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baltic Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I've bought from EL (in the good old days) and Joshua and not had a problem yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millemiglia Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Good to hear Anyone else had packages shipped from overseas (to EU) without (or with) troubles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesg Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyster Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Bought numerous times from overseas with no trouble at all, UK is a good place to ship to IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had watches come from China, Malaysia and Thailand, all came through without problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highflyingclive Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
