Beware: Swiss Customs Targeting Baselworld 2019 Attendees

[Captdave]

I have no idea who that guy is, but I'm leery of any man who wears non-wedding rings.

Are the Masonic rings ok (no I don't wear one)?

They are and I do.

Lol. Who cares what JP or anyone says anyways. More often than not he’s a dick, just to be a dick, and that’s cool, it’s funny and good banter.

I’ve been wearing rings and jewelry for more than 20 years now. I couldn’t care less what someone thinks about it.

At a certain point being a dick, just to be a dick gets old.

Snowflakes......

I think it might be a generational thing. I see a lot of guys in their 60's wearing non-wedding rings, but not many guys in their 20's, 30's or 40's.

Can we get back to the subject at hand? Which is:

1. Why this idiot from Fratello walked into Switzerland with a satchel full of expensive Swiss watches a half mile from the biggest watch trade show on the planet . . . and is surprised he got hassled at customs? And

2. If this guy is so trade show savvy, how he somehow forgot about stuff like ATA Carnet and other avenues he could have taken to avoid the problem?

This. I imagine Basel is like Swiss customs Christmas. The guy should have been better prepared, but I'm sure he was thinking "I'm just a watch nerd meeting with my watch nerd friends to hang out and take some pictures."

why couldn't he put them all in his ass?

Not everyone's a professional like you.

Terry, you're gonna kill your leather watch roll business with practical advice like this.

[gwells]

i dunno, it's probably a lot easier to stuff the whole roll up there at once than individually cram watches up your bum. maybe sell them as "lube-proof."
