Posting an Omega to Bienne from the UK

Hi

This is a UK specific query to apologies to other readers. I intend to get my Seamaster serviced at Bienne as it is generally held to be the best option and Swatch Uk currently have an 8 week turnaround but I am having trouble finding a way of getting it there. UK Royal Mail will only insure a parcel to Switzerland for up to £1000 if you pay an extortionate £30 or so on top of the already steep postage. I have tried couriers instead but all the ones I contact will not insure a watch in transit. Can anyone suggest a courier firm that will send it insured at a reasonable cost? Who have other Brits used?

Regards

Dave
