I can't imagine anyone doing jail time for a purchase on a single item for personal use. Try that stunt in the UK and, if caught, you'll most likely get hit with the VAT that you're trying to avoid and a possible fine. For them to confiscate the watch, you'd have to do or say something very stupid indeed to seriously piss them off.
