My Omega needs repairing and I dont trust the service centre in Thailand to do a great job, they service it once before and it stopped working after a month. I want to send it back to the UK for a couple months, then send it back here to Thailand. Am I opening up a can of drama in doing that? Im presuming I can pay for courier with insurance to cover the watch, but will I have problems with customs or something? I have images of them hitting me for like 30,000 baht customs duty or something. I mean as far as they are concerned, I am importaing a $6000 watch to Thailand?
Even with the insurance is it a risky move? Not to sound paranoid but whats stopping some dodgy customs bloke from opening the package and swapping the watch for a replica or something? I know that sounds mental but you can get a carbon copy of this watch for like 2500 baht in bangkok!
Is it generaly just a risky move does anyone know?
