In relation to your concerns, let the TD handle the shipping, that's their business and they know what to do to make the watch arrive in your hands. Still, there's some risk involved and you should be conscious of that. What I can advise is to browse the TD's websites (only use RWI's links to do so, never google them) and look after their shipping and reimbursement policies, some will send you a new watch if it's seized by customs, some don't. And, contact the TD before making an order to ask for availability, that's also a good way to get a feel for them and decide if it suits you.
Remember to be patient during the whole process. Responsiveness is not TD's forte, at least not everyone's.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask
@eBoy or me, we'll be happy to assist.
Good luck!
