Beautiful piece... Could give a Cartier Tank a run for its money....

But, it in Japan... I hear high Duty/fees/taxes to bring in to the States.

Importing to the States is not hard. I have watches go right through customs and not get any import fees and then other watches get picked up in the system. There is also an $800 dollars exception which means anything under $800 should be nothing (of course doesn't apply for this watch but applies to lots of vintage Omegas). If they do get caught in the system, I think estimate of about 3 to 5% is about right but for caution would budget 5% and hope it is less or not charged at all. I would say cost is typically 3%. Three things go into it calculating the duty owed - movement, case and bracelet/strap. I lot of the value of a mechanical watch is in the movement so that can help keep the overall cost down as that is just a flat fee. I think it is like a $1.50 or so. If you end up getting a worksheet to complete by the shipper, I would put in a high value on the movement and keep value on case and bracelet lower. Also, this is not lying on avoiding taxes as the movement truly has a lot of value in a steel wrist watch. Of course, if watch is gold then this plays out a bit differently and you need to put a higher value on case and bracelet.

You may also pay a fee to shipper for processing customs but that should be around 30 to 40 dollars if it gets picked up. I have also bought more than one watch from this seller and can say I have had them go right through customs and also get picked up in the system so honestly no idea how it would play out for this watch.

Lastly, I would never import a watch with a Croc strap as that opens up a whole other set of issues.

Did you get it? $1351 is hilariously cheap for that, actually feel a bit bad for the seller as after fees he’s take a huge loss and that stupid $20 bracelet is 95% of the reason.

Just arrived. Love it - thanks again!

The winning bid was $9,300.00? Just about all of the bids say "not a registered user." Shill bidding?

You better buy this @paddymoran or you'll owe me a Speedmaster.

Edit: $4050 final. Not a steel but not bad.

DeVille Cal 2500 on steel brickwork bracelet. The watch is nice enough but you buy it for the opportunity to wear the bracelet, which is both comfortable and extremely cool.
