I am very interested in the shipping aspect of this thread. Mine, from the point of view of shipping a watch overseas (Belgium) to have it repaired and returned.
When you get a chance to add your thoughts on shipping, if you can add what you ( or anyone else) knows about this topic, I would appreciate it.

1. Best and most secure to ship a watch overseas.
2. Tax and import\export\customs challenges involved in it being sent to be repaired and returned.

Thanks ahead of time!
