Datejust2

Hi,

Thinking of buying a Datejust 2, blue Arabic numerals....
The AD's are quoting £5700, I've seen the watch on a few web sites, with sellers in Germany and Italy quoting around the £4500 mark...
Is there any pitfalls buying from abroad.
Can anybody shine any light on Chronos24..

Any advice greatfully accepted.

Mac

Whenever you import from outside your country there are always potential problems and import taxes. If your buying a Rolex watch outside the US there is a chance customs could confiscate the watch. Thats because it's actually illegal to import a Rolex from outside the country. So you really need to make sure you know what specific laws your country follows and potentially those governing the country sending the watch as well.
