Hey everyone, quick question—what’s the safest way to ship a watch from the USA to the UK while minimizing the risk of customs seizing it? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

There isn't one, all parcels, no matter how they are sent all hit UK border customs.
We (UK) aren't too bothered about replica watches, they're not illegal to own here although lying on the customs form is!
Just don't put "bracelet" on the form when it blatantly x-rays as a watch.

I usually a variation of watch sent for repair with a relatively low value listed and a note in the box describing a non existent intermittent issue. Never had any issues shipping to UK, EU, Canada or Australia doing this. I've in the past used watch returned defective, horology tool returned for refund ( stopped using this one because the postal employees had no clue what a horology tool was), and of course if the buyer requested a specific declaration I would respect their wishes within reason.
