In Response To: Postage to Bienne from UK ()

Can't help, Nafees. I sent a watch to Bienne several years ago, but can't remember what it cost.

But one possible caution. I recently investigated carriers to find what cover of insurance was available for international transits and the highest I could find was £500. So if your watch is more valuable than that it may be safer to swallow your pride and deal with Eastleigh again.

Of course, if it is 20 years or older, Swiss Time Services will take it. I have had several Omegas serviced, repaired and restored by them and all with no problems. I don't know if they will take younger watches, but suspect they may re-direct them to Eastleigh.
