Shipping watch to Hong Kong.

I am thinking of sending my Rolex President to Michael Young in Hong Kong for repairs and service. With USPS I can only get $5,000.00 in insurance and it is less with FedEx and UPS. Any suggestions?

Just send him the bracelet. The movement service can be done in the US.

I sent him an overstretched bracelet and it came back looking great.
Given the risks of shipping, however, think I'd look for someone (qualified) a little more local to service the watch, itself.
Just one man's opinion, though.
