Importation of Watches into the US


Bidders should be aware that the import of Rolex watches to the US is restricted. Watches (not limited to Rolex) may not be shipped to the USA and import must be undertaken personally. Generally only one watch may be imported in this manner at any one time.


It is the responsibility of the prospective buyer to identify and comply with any restrictions. Please contact our department specialist for further information.


Export of Watches, Accessories and Parts containing materials from Endangered Species


Many of the articles offered in this sale have components, or are parts which may contain material(s) derived from endangered or protected animal materials e.g. alligator, crocodile skin and as such are prohibited by law to be exported by Fellows without a CITES permit. Fellows are therefore required to remove any restricted strap prior to delivery of the watch and buckle/clasp, and are unable to ship from their offices any other restricted part.


It is the responsibility of the prospective buyer to understand and comply with any restrictions. Please contact our department specialist for further information.
