Buying from DavidSW in Australia

Hey guys!
I've been shopping around lately, and due to the horrible stock available in Sydney, I was considering purchasing a 116610ln from DavidSW.
I just wanted to find out more about people in Australia who have purchased from him before and how taxes work when you buy from him, because after the 10% GST charges, the price might end up being more expensive then say me traveling to Hong Kong and purchasing one there.

Look forward to the responses!

Personally I would go with an AD, leave a deposit and I'm sure they will get one in. Might take a little time but I think it's worth it.

I haven't come across an AD in Australia that will take a deposit, and with no purchase history you get quoted multi year wait times for the LN sub/gmt watches here....

I've just bought a watch from David SW, and would recommend him. As for import taxes, there's Parcelpro.
