Shipment into USA from Switzerland
My current collection is TTDJ II and BLNR. I was over in Switzerland a month ago and looked a several watches including Rolex and Panerai. They had a limited edition Panerai only sold by the Lucerne boutique. I did not purchase it while I was there but I recently have been enquiring and found out the boutiques in the US cannot get that watch. The sales lady in Switzerland said she could ship it to me.
