Bob,
good to see you posted. :)
Welcome to RepGeek, enjoy the forum and make yourself at home.
You will like it here.
Cheers
welcome,
Customs is a *****, comparing to other countries, i had two watches destroyed by them but i did not stop me from ordering from China.
You can always look for dealers in EU (UK for example).
Thxx for helping me out about the problem from yesterday.Quote:

There is a Dutch dealer at RWG, but since he is not sanctioned here, I wont give further details.
You pay extra with these dealers, but don't forget, they take all customs risk and you are sure they deliver!

Thank you Alex also for your feedback.
I will check them out
Welcome aboard Bob, another newbie from EU!
Hello and Welcome PaneraiBob
hey welkom Bob, another dutchy joins the forum.
Customs can be very problematic, allthough I'm still lucky with 30+ reps....just give a shout if you need help
Hello Bob :welcome: from Canada !!
Hey Bob,
I have had two watches destroyed by customs... To avoid this, you can order from the UK, as said. Or if you have friends in the US (or another country...), you can have the Chinese dealers ship the watches overthere and have you friend or relative forward the package.
Anyway, have fun here and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
grt,
Dimer
I just spoke to him and he moved to Thailand... :(Quote:

What is better to do airmail or ems or other couriers?
Welcome :)
Reg. air mail is best... but most dealer know that anyway.
Cheers

Welcome to RepGeek , I hope you will enjoy in this forum.
Hey Bob, welkom vanuit België! (welcome from Belgium)
If you want to be sure about the customs, take a european dealer... The Belgian customs are even worse compared to those from the Netherlands, so I didn't took any risk since I knew that the fines can go from 500-5000 euros...
Have fun!
groetjes
Welcome Bob, customs can be a real pain like said before, lucky for us there are quite a few dealers that can ship from the EU

Welcom Bob, stay here for a long time.
got another 005 today for Dimer...again without trouble...:)
Since when are the Dutch customs so hard? I have received about 15 watches from China the last 2 years, most of them were sent by EMS.
This year I just bought 1 watch so far and it was from PT. Not because of his european status but because I hate the dropshipping out of China from most other dealers.
So is it since this year that Dutch customs are a pain in the ... ?
Bob,
Welcome to the Geek. You're going to dig it here.
