Bringing Rolexes into Canada

[jdarry]

After doing tonnes of research, I still couldn't figure out whether I can bring along my Rolex watches (let's say 3 pieces) into Canada for personal use as a new immigrant.

I've read some people say that if you put it on your wrist there's a high chance the customs officers won't bother to stop you and ask about your watch, while some others say that as long as the watch is bought outside of Canada you'll have to pay the taxes and duties.

What about if I've been using the watches for a number of years and now bring them along to settle in Canada, and I must carry everything with me for sure (boxes, cards, etc) then, am I accountable for paying taxes or anything? So what should I do to make sure my watches go to Canada with me safely and legally...?

So it brings me to another question: in the future if I wear one of them to travel out of canada, I'll just have to put on my wrist and simply declare it through the customs and everything will be alright. Does that make sense?
