Michael Young type repair in USA?

[watchguy1234567]

Hello,

I have a 25 year old explorer 2 that is an old rattle trap and I heard great things about the service Michael Young provides.

I communicated with Michael Young & the pricing is great but I'm not excited to send my watch out of country.

Not because I don't want to spend the money but because I have a feeling that US Customs will call me a few months after I get it back asking to see a receipt for the watch (they perceive) i just bought and imported from HK.

*I once bought and imported a rare watch from Austria and received a call from Customs looking for the tax $. I said I had just sent it out for repair and they asked for the original receipt, which of course i did not have - it was a new purchase. Long story I had to send them about $800 in tax $ and if it happens again I don't have the receipt for the Explorer 2 I bought in 1997.

So - anyone local in the USA that does the same amazing type of work?

Thanks in advance!
