Due to weak GBP, MSRP in the USA works out a lot more expensive than in the UK.
Then on import we're hit for 20% VAT and a few percent of duty on the price of the watch plus the price of shipping.
All told it's just not worth it. It's cheaper just to buy from a UK based grey dealer, even if they're charging a premium.
