Play dumb. If they contact you say you purchased the watches on Ebay and were told they were gen. They have no proof you didnt. Contact the dealer, let him know what happened, DO NOT BLAME HIM, these things are out of dealers control. I am sure he will send out another watch. Lastly, relax! We are all bound to have some sort of customs trouble sooner or later, its all part of the rep game. :)

I would not use Ebay because of the paper trail. I would say a forum or somthing.

Change the name to something like:

White Rabbit
xxxxxx some address

Ask your dealer to write a love letter (handwritten)... perfumed paper, signed....

Mark it as gift... tell the custom that it is from your lover.

I doubt it.
You bought it on a forum, thought it was gen because you were told that. I dont know about Poland, but in USA they wont come looking for you, unless maybe you were bringing in 1000 watches! :shock:

You can always say you have no invoice. It was a cash transaction and all you have is an e-mail. I wouldn't worry with trying to make a fake invoice.

Dude, make a fake invoice yourself with the value you are supposed to pay customs taxes for (I don't know how much is this in Poland), it uses to work at least at other EU customs.

You pay taxes, but you get your watches.

1. All china parcels going to CUSTOMS

2. Customs scaning for trademark - If they find some parcel is halted.

3. Thay calling Trademark owner ( for example OMEGA POLAND ). and CUSTOMS Says - We have one watch from OMEGA here in customs, please check maybe its replica - but OMEGA POLAND saying - Oh. Only one not worth, just trash it.

4. They invite to CUSTOME ( Nice ! :D ) and now - I need to tell it was only for personal use and I didnt know this watches was replica - and I gave him recipt or invoice.

5. I sign trash protocol and everything DONE - I dont have any problems but I lose lot of money :)


But If OMEGA POLAND will say - oh, replica - we kick ass this dude, thats bad situation, then I can even meet OMEGA POLAND boss in court ;)

Ask your dealer for a fake invoice in Excel or Word, so you can edit it your way. I made this with Joshua one time and worked fine.

There is something strange in this.
1st. There ARE laws! In my country, so someone can open my mail they must have my signature in a paper allowing them to do so. If they don't have that they are breaking a law that protects me.
2nd Customs here may say, either you allow them to open mail because you have to pay taxes of importation goods, or they will send it back.
- At this point I can choose to pay 21% if goods are legit and sign the letter that allows them to inspect goods, or when, and if i know its counterfeit goods i may choose not to let them open and make them return them.
I Think that in every country protects your individual rights!
I had a case here with customs where they opened my mail, i went there, and as they didn't had my authorization i braked the news to them. There was a cop present @ customs and i was clear.
They had 2 choices
1- I would present charges there against them and someone would be presented to court and risk a 3 year jail time, and the goods would not be admissible to the court because they where obtained illegally.
2- They would simply deliver my goods ,apologize to me and get a simple "FUCK YOU!" from me.
Well they did received a FUCK YOU, and i went to my home with my goods.
Regards

That's very similar here, customs agents can't open your package without your presence in the custom's post office or your signed autorization. So ... What the hell is goìng on in Poland?

Anyway, I'd bet that Rolex or Omega there wont pay any attention to that info from customs.

And take it easy man, you are not dealing with drugs or guns, simply watches, the worst thing that can happen is loosing your money.

Just wait, they can't retain the watches there forever.

IMHO your dealer at least should contact you to support this situation at your side.

Good luck.
