Buying Rolex in California Oregon or Nevada
Hi Everyone,I am new to the forum, I live in Manchester UK and was looking to buy a new Rolex. However many of the ones I like have a long wait here in the UK.I am visiting America at the end of Next month (23rd March 2018) and will be in LA, Palm Springs, Laughlin and Las Vegas. I am hoping to get a SS Skydweller, A SS Daytona C or a Hulk?Few questions.1) What are the chances of me getting one of these watches in 7 weeks time when I am over there? If there is no chance, I am back in September, so would that be more realistic?2) Are there any discounts off list price on the watches I like?3) Will I have to pay US sales tax, even though I am a tourist?4) Will it be worth the very long drive to Oregon, where there is no sales tax?the US/UK prices are similar, I am just hoping there is better availability in the USA, or if I can get a discount or avoid sales tax, it does work out slightly cheaper in the USA.Thanks in Advance!

How do you insure an expensive Rolex shipment?
Straightforward question, I'm just an individual, not a business & I am looking ship a $20k watch. How do I protect that shipment? I looked at ParcelPro, but they seem to be more geared at businesses and needed all types of business information to sign up for an account. Can anyone advise here?Thanks!
