    Free Stuff

    If people are so inclined, feel free to add to this thread, if you want to give watch related stuff away, if that seems like a good idea...

    --

    To start....

    I have a very watch-addicted friend who often gives me things because he doesn't want to throw them away, and doesn't want the hassle of selling. Sometimes I sell or give away the watches he gives me (as someone here recently discovered) but I have no idea what to do with these brand catalogs. They are very high quality, two hardback, full color, designed to be in retail shops to browse. I will happily send one or all to anyone - for free if in USA as I can use Book Rate postage. To European friends, shipping would probably cost too much for the content, alas.

    Books are Longines, Zenith, Breguet, and distributor Westime. I also have an Oris book I got at Toppers that I don't need. Here are the first four:

    I think I have a taker for some or all of these. Unless another person chimes in, I will send them all to boatme99.

    Stay tuned, because I might also have a few watches to give away (if anyone needs a quartz beater.)

    Very generous of you, Ismy.

    I believe cn22/23 forms are not needed within the EU. Are they?

    well some places yes like ireland one sides fine the other needs a form and they do it in euro's and you have to declare it too .. take France I think it was did a give away and the post for that one was like a tenner and the prize was like worth a fiver felt like just sending them the money instead thinking about it never heard if they even got it or not

    just know in the uk can be a large letter and be a couple of quid and quick and simple thats how I like it
