Left Aus years ago, but per a discussion someone I know's mum had with the then ACS officers who answered the phone about his 5 or 6 seized Rolex reps (must be over 15 years ago now), they can only really be bothered examining/seizing where it looks like you're buying for re-sale. Keep your purchases to one at a time and noone should bother you. All our TDs more or less ship from the same region. Have fun.

I’ve bought a number of watches from Asian 7750, the guy there is Tony (had no problems at all). If you are chasing a Tudor BB 41 red Bessel, I might be selling mine (I’m in Perth).

Never had any issues getting stuff in. Choose any TD you like and you won’t have a problem.

The dealer I used shipped EMS Express, took 4-5 days from posting (3 seperate orders) to receiving in regional NSW.

I just purchased several (4 separate shipments) from Steve @ Theonewatches.ru and shipped to regional australia without any issues. I wouldn’t worry with a TD

No issues with customs. Everything arrived no issues so far. I’m still waiting on 2 watches due to availability, not shipping or customs related.
Most of the TDs say they will replace the watch if confiscated by customs.

I’d be careful how many you bring in in the one package. Word on the street, ah who am I kidding I sit at home in the dark...anyway rumour has it Straya customs don’t care much for such things if they believe it’s for personal use, but as soon as they think it’s for selling they will take quite a different attitude.
Even though it is for personal use, it starts to raise attention with so many watches in one box from one supplier.

Agree Flinnt, this is why working with the TD is valuable. They are smarter than me! Steve didn’t ship more than 2 at a time. Probably to ensure this wasn’t an issue.
