• You wouldn't avoid VAT buying from Germany as it's in the EU, they'd just charge german VAT. When i looked a while ago the price in Euros on the Nomos website worked out about £400 cheaper than the £sterling price, but that might have been a particular low point for the euro so that could change.

    I agree it does sound like a good saving, there is just something weird about how Iconic say an unworn watch is "recently purchased new and purchased by us without having been worn" but then if it comes with all the right docs, perhaps I'm just being overly cautious. I was only looking at this on bonus day anyway and that isn't for a few months, so if you go for it let me know how you get on

  • Damn German VAT!

    the email from them...

    We don't have the watch in stock however we would order one on your behalf from NOMOS Glashutte authorised dealer, it would of course be brand new with all box and papers and the full NOMOS Glashutte international warranty. The paperwork will be dated when the watch leaves the authorised dealer which is typically less than 7 days before you receive the watch. All our watches are bought from authorised dealers within the European Union, warranty card and papers are all stamped by AD. All our watches come with a lifetime authenticity guarantee.

    You can wait until we have one in our shop again or you can follow the below link to leave a 20% deposit and secure the next NOMOS Glashutte Metro 1101. We can have it delivered to you in 2-3 weeks.

    We have them coming in but then going out to clients who placed deposits so deposit would be the quickest way to receive this watch.
    If you are ready to go ahead, please follow the link below to leave a deposit and place your order.

    i'll do it

  • Sorry to dig this up, but did you go any further with Iconic Watches and the Nomos Metro? The email you got from them seems nice and credible, but they are also advertising the new Metro 38 with the same average delivery time of 7-21 days, and it hasn't even been released yet.
