The caveat: Seller is a private person, we're both in the EU, licence code is out of EU (Swiss). No invoice and no custom papers available, supposedly it was a present and imported from Switzerland without paying EU customs and taxes.

What do you guys think? It's an old model and not produced any more, so it might not be noticed at airports, right? On the other hand, what would happen if I'm asked to show proper custom papers? Hmmm...

I'm open to all advice and shared experiences!

I don't think you have much to worry about.......but you obviously are concerned so why put yourself through this? There are plenty of GMTs for sale so just pick an EU based dealer you trust and buy from them.....it might cost you a few more euros but will give you peace of mind.
