kuiksilver Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Do the customs really are on watch out for watch on your wrist?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narikaa Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 They are on the 'watch out' for prohibited items and duty evasion A counterfeit item or a sparkly new high value watch may well achieve getting their attention . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nusiramines Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 (edited) Oh, what went wrong? I read on the german customs website that you are officially tolerated to import one replica watch (value limit for that is 175€) personally when coming into country... Hmm, could you post me a link, maybe i write to my country ambassador again. One of my friends had Cartier (org) and 70$ worth Breitling (rep) , but somehow my carrera get most attention, they did some calls and I saw them reading number from that watch . maybe you do not know , but when you are from the east europe, they don't care that we are EU nation, they stops as criminals and searches with guns in middle of the night. Anyway now I'm looking for new rep and bought nice diesel watch for traveling Edited June 10, 2008 by nusiramines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is HUGE hostility towards nationals of some countries such as Bulgaria and especially Romania. Germany is no better than any other EU country in this regard and worse than some.

JohnG Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Thanks for all your replies. I am intending to have my SSD on my wrist from UK to Japan. what do you think ? Risky? If you are worried just put it in your pocket when clearing customs. I have travelled internationally for more than 20 years and I have never had a customs official put his paws on me or tell me to empty my pockets.

I'm from Lithuania . When I traveled with plane there was no problem, but I was flying to Italy, not to Germany.
