Seeking assistance: Shipping a Patek from China

Hi -

I've been communicating with a reputable watch dealer in Nanjing, China - and am looking to purchase a Patek from them. Pre-COVID, they were shipping watches to customers world-wide, but have now changed policy and basically offer in-person purchases only.

Wondering if anyone knows of a reputable watch broker in that region who might be able to help facilitate getting the watch shipped to me here in the US? Of course happy to pay for the service - but kind of stuck unless I can find an intermediary....

Thanks for any suggestions.
-John

Why not search for one within the states? Seems like more trouble than its worth.

Check if Elita Diamonds offer a brokering service .. They have offices in quite a few places and have a relationship with brinks when it comes for shipping high value items.

Would you only Deal in Hong Kong? I have contacts in Tokyo that would be glad to help you. Even though it’s always better to keep it in the US imho, especially for a expensive watch
