·This is up for a reasonable price from Japan, just wanted to know if it's real.

··Oooo subtitles!What do you consider a reasonable price? Be aware these trade at less than half the price of the full size auto 2531.80 Bond watch so be careful you are comparing apples with apples.

··Oooo subtitles!Around a grand is about right. Is that your landed price? ie do you have it in hand now? If not you might get a nasty surprise since imports like that from Japan are liable for import duty while works out around the VAT rate. It might get through without it being applied, it might not. If that is your landed outlay you did well.

··Oooo subtitles!I've ran it through an import duty site and it comes out at about £250 for duties so total is about £1,238. Still the cheapest I've found for the condition. Did you have to pay duty when you purchased from Japan?

·Yep. But it was still a lot cheaper then than buying here. The stinger was the £30 or whatever it was the courier charged me as an admin fee for collecting the duty. All in mine worked out at something like 22% but it seems to vary with the wind.

Works out to be around 24% of the cost of the watch.
