·I'm pretty sure the Switzerland has had a free trade agreement with the EU since 1972? I didn't pay anything accept the cost of the watch and shipping. 🤔

·Agree the comment about the autavia being a viable alternative to the much vaunted (and overhyped?) Daytona.

·If anyone in the US is looking for one, please contact me. I have bought too many pieces in the last couple of month - I don't want to profit on this one but rather want it to stay within the community.

·The opening asking was probably around about what was paid Inc duties?
Not sure why but I could only find the listing via the link in this thread, not by searching ebay. So perhaps prospective buyers had the same issue

Free trade means no tariffs. If your country has taxes such as a sales tax or VAT on goods and services then everything that is imported is usually subject to those same taxes. The fact that none was collected might just mean that the customs/post in your country let it slip through, and wether you do your legal duty and pay the tax you formally owe is up to you.

Well someone must be right or wrong as I have never had to pay for the past.... 20 years or so. I always pay when they come in from outside the EU but never within the EU. Are you sure this isn't in respect of businesses and VAT? Anyway, what do I know..... 😵💫
..... and back to watches. 🥰

·I had the same issue, it wouldn't come up searching 'autavia' or even 'siffert'
Same thing here, I doubt many people saw it then. If you they had the counters at the bottom of the page like the good old days, then maybe you could tell. 🙄

·I had the same issue, it wouldn't come up searching 'autavia' or even 'siffert'
But I saw other cases, in which I didn't find what should have been there in the search results. So I am not sure if I would put a watch for auction on ebay. I guess I would rather opt for price suggestion.
But what is more important to say, is that is really a very, very stylish timepiece.
