I could alternatively fly from Japan to the US, pick up the watch and fly back to Japan with it on my wrist, and it would still be cheaper all told.
This Japanese dealer is akin to HQ Milton/Tropical Watch (highly trusted, nice pieces): https://www.libertas-watch.com/ Compare and contrast prices with the US.
UK prices are indeed prohibitively silly, especially in those central-London shopping arcades. |
Why do you see a couple of US dealers with Japanese imported watches? Locally sourced watches? I'm positive they've got a line with someone there.
