Thanks. OK. Here's a dumb question. I've purchased relatively cheap SEIKOs, Cocktail Time ~$400 etc. The watch just came to me via Japan Mail...end of story.

Am I going to have to pick *this* watch up at the post office - and pay before I get my package?? Where does the fee get assessed?

I recall buying a pair of Churchs wingtips online - from the UK. Ended up getting a bill from DHL some time later. Is this how buying a more expensive watch from Japan would work?
