Thanks looking on C24 these seem a lot cheaper in Japan. I've got a good friend going to Japan for a few weeks in May so i may send her on a little mission for me. I was originally looking for a cheapish 70's quartz or maybe a hi-beat but these things can escalate quickly and the more you spend the more you save right?

They are a JDM model. Be prepared to add vat and import tax etc on anything arriving from Japan. Same as if you bring one back through customs of course.

I think Sakura and possibly Seiya will also ship them new to the UK.

I did assume there would be a chunk of duty to pay which is why I've never ended up ordering anything from Gnomon but the plan would be to transfer the money to my friends parents in Japan and they order and have it delivered then my friend just brings it back with her to swerve those any fees.
