Did you avoid the VAT on the import?
I've never had to pay any duty using creationwatches but have for watches bought in HK, Japan and the US.
i hear you on the face size.. this is also nice but wanted sub 10mm depth
Seiko Chronograph Mens Titanium Watch SND451P1
Mr Incredible said:Watches can be imported duty free from the USA, it's the VAT which is applied.
Duty on watches was 4.5% the last time I looked.
I'll have access to the customs tariff when I get into work tomorrow.
If the gift is for someone who is 60, he may prefer a more "simple/classic" design. I know I would!
