I hate to point this out to you John but you have a further bill to pay upon receiving this lovely item. The import duties (25%) due upon importing an item into the EU from Switzerland. I have spoken to this dealer on the phone once before about shipment of an item and asked him if there was any way he could help me by mailing an item from one of the bordering EU countries ie. Germany/Austria/Italy/France but sadly he could not help me. His point of view was "Taxes and duties are your problem." Needless to say the negotiating on that particular item stopped then and there.
Hope you can wrangle a better deal out of him.
It may be cheaper to fly to Switzerland for a day to collect the Skipperera in person. Why not take your wife/girlfriend/both!?! and make a weekend of it

Best of luck - Darren

-: I have a dispute with the seller - he lists paypal as accepted but
: refuses to take it despite me having already paid him with it.

: I have complained to ebay who have eventually agreed to look into
: it as he is in breach of his merchant agreement.

: It's rather frustrating he has relisted it with paypal as a payment
: option again. I really want to buy the watch from him but I want
: to use paypal for the buyer protection rather than bank transfer
: to some unknown person & that seems to be all he will
: accept.
