Domi has informed me that he is only accepting watches now from EU members.
He got a mail from customs yesterday that they opened a package from the US with a fake HBB and that they are going to inform Hublot about the sender and that the watch will be destroyed.:facepalm:

Please keep this in mind if you are not in EU.

Domi and Uwe are working on 2 of my watches.

I am in the EU, but will pop over to Germany to collect the watches when they are ready....just to be sure!!

I travel there for work so should be no problem.

This is very bad luck as US customs rarely do this.

Hmm, worrying, how would I stand if I were to buy a watch/watches from a US based member, as I was contemplating, with UK customs.

I got stung for import duty when I bought my (gen) Citizen Autozilla from Singapore a year or so ago. Luckily the seller had been a little less than truthfull about the selling price!!!

EU is now one of the strictest to ship watches, this is sad news, as domi is a great modder.

As Guru says, the UK is absolutely fine in general....but I just prefer on this occasion to hop over there when mine are ready :)
It's like going to Stuttgart to personally pick up a new Porsche!

Royal Mail are not the greatest in my experience but Parcelforce are really good, so that's why I would always pay the extra to get my watches here in that way.
Parcelforce handle all EMS post here.
