  • Potentially silly question. I've been looking at Grand Seikos (spring drive and/or GMT models) on C24 and I'm seeing a few watches coming from Japan for a cheaper price. Is there a catch? (except from import duties I guess).

    This for instance. Sure you need to add shipping, and there are a few scratches on the case, but they're minimal and I'm sure I'd add more in short order anyway.

  • It’s the tax. Those prices are excluding sales tax. You will be charged import tax / duty when it arrives.

    Watches of Mayfair usually seem to have the best grey market prices on new GS in the UK. Official GS boutiques won’t give you a discount. Seiko ADs (there’s one in the Bluewater shopping centre that deals in GS) might.

  • Jura watches will price match watches of Mayfair and offer interest free credit (if that’s your bag...). Official stockists too.

  • I see. Thanks for the advice!
