Dear Sirs, Explanation: We regret to have to inform you that we are not supplying watches outside the country's borders. We have promised our Swedish supplier not to export. Best regards, TYRANSLATOR'S NOTE: Such a "promise" is illegal, and thus not legally binding, in the EU. |

Dear Sirs, Explanation: Dear Sirs, Unfortunately, we do not ship clocks out of the country. We have an agreement with our Swedish suppliers not to sell on the export market. A case where a literal translation won't work. It's better to translate the meaning of the message rather than word for word. Reference: http://www.wordworks.nu |
