Hi Darren,

You're right, the PO won't insure overseas parcels for more than five hundreded quid, even with AirSure, so DHL or Fedex may be the way to go but I think even Fedex have a ceiling of 2.5K and it's expensive, you could be looking towards £80 for overseas...! As for payment terms, I would go bank transfer any day, PayPal is ok but you'll get hammered for the fees, once the cash is in your bank and cleared, post the watch...! Which Omega is it anyway if you don't mind me asking...?

Kind regards, Kieron
