Technically you can be charged import tax when returning to the mainland, as Guernsey and Jersey are 'Special Territories' in the eyes of HMRC. Is there a way to return on a light aircraft and avoid customs? Surely more of us would go for cheaper watches

About a year ago a friend of mine had one stolen. The insurance company put him in touch with a company that would sell him a brand new one for £11,600.

This is around the same as I paid for mine with a Earnest Jones family discount (from a friend of mine) back in 2009. From memory I think I got around 30% off a list price of £16,100.

Can't imagine they'd have gone up that much since then though?

Gold price has gone up almost constantly, Rolex prices show no signs of slowing .

I see Blowers have an "unused" 116519 on their site for £12.8k

If it doesn't have to be new, good s/h 116509s can be had for a lot less than this though (I bought one last year) and you get a lot more WG for the cash

Thanks,i have been quoted 17.4k on a interest free credit (yea right) and 15.5k on a cash sale. I need to find out list price!

Thanks

You could still be inspected on any re-entry to the UK, but you'd be unlucky on a light aircraft or yacht.
I've been stopped by Customs coming back from Guernsey to France.

Surely you can just wear the watch

Send the box and papers back and you would hopefully get away with it.

In France they claim that they can work out watches that are new into the country though.
I personally doubt that unless the jewellers on the Channel Islands provide them with the S/Ns of sold watches...

£17310 is the price for a 116519 Daytona with a Mother of Pearl dial. The standard dial watch is £15810. Which are you after?

How would they know, Go out in the morning come back in the evening. Make a few appointments with local estate agents so it looks like your on business and have a few brohues when you come back in. Send the box and receipt via fedex/ups/dhl back to a friends address (bobs your uncle)

Yeah as I said I reckon that's the case.
They did have a sign up at Customs though to that effect...

I bought a 1 year old as new unmarked 116509 black face with all papers/box etc and checked by me on Rolex lost/stolen for £9500 off a chap in London from Rolex Forum.With the ever increasing list price that watch now lists new at £20540.

[stiglet]

That's not bad at all for a 116509 - did you purchase this recently?

[MarsellusWallace]

I bought it in October 09
