Hi There,

Have found a piece that im interested but would love to know peoples views. its a Japan watch with a certificate from Vizio Watch Factory.
Numbers look legit and watch looks in good condition.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Looks legit but it's hard to determine dial condition from those photos.

How much is it? Bear in mind you'll likely have to pay import duties and if you're somewhere like the UK this will add 20+% to the price

That sounds expensive, what is the asking price?

Lucky enough the guy has bought it and it’s already in the uk.
I’ve tried to get a closer image of the dial.
He’s asking £900

Thank you

Quite expensive, the dial has 2-3 major imperfections and the case is a bit too polished IMO

I can’t tel if those marks are on the crystal/dial nor whether they’re actual marks or just dust that can be removed.
That said, I agree the case is a bit too polished for me.
Even in the UK you should be able to get a better case and bracelet for around that price.

That is a common SMDV in mediocre condition without a bracelet. If they really sell for that much in the UK, I think people would be jumping on watches sold elsewhere despite the VAT.
