I am interested in the white dial version of the Omega Speedmaster Reduced. I can only find them available on eBay via Japan & Hong Kong. Is it safe to order from over there? I guess it would be covered by the bay buyers protection.

 

It's safe.

 

Buy the seller no matter where they're located.

.....unless it's the Ukraine or Nigeria. Then don't buy ANYTHING!

 

You are right, covered by eBay, though it may be a pain if something does go wrong. But there are a ton of high quality Japanese sellers on eBay.

 

Abenomics had the desired effect of devaluing the yen. Nowadays it is very attractive for Japanese sellers to ship to the U.S.

Heck if it is coming from Japan your chances are very good. When it comes to high end items the Japanese are extremely anal about condition.
