Shipping to APO

Planning to buy a watch from one of the trusted forum sellers. Anyone have any experience shipping to an APO?

Hummmm, it should be fine as long as its not going to a combat location (too many hands touching it and potential for loss). However, if stationed in Germany or another overseas location you "should" be okay. I'd personally wait till I return stateside for vacation or TDY just to be 100% certain of its speedy arrival.

If shipped properly insured, and with a signature confirmation, should be fine, in my opinion....but certainly do what makes YOU feel most comfortable!
