Just ordered a Ploprof from chrono 24. Never ordered from them before.

Just ordered it new gray market with box and papers from a trusted seller on Chrono 24 where it came out to $5439.64 (including currency conversion) shipped from Japan to the US. First time ordering via chrono 24 so hopefully I will have a good experience. I did use my credit card with buyback protection and paid via paypal if things go hanky panky.

Bought from chrono24 several times. Including a number of omegas. Always good experience.

Japanese sellers also generally OK.

Customs charges depends on where youre from.

Where im from, if below usd200, no customs charges. If beyond usd200, charges (duties, VAT and fees) of about 18% of value (from highest of either declared value by shipper, what i actually paid or what customs researches as its value)

Im in Florida, United States. It would be completely new to me if that happens.

Just ordered a Ploprof from chrono 24. Never ordered from them before.

Bought a $2K watch recently from Germany. A week after delivery got a customs bill from FedEx for $17. Not too bad a deal at all.

Congratulations, what a cool watch. I tried one on 2 months ago and it wears surprisingly easy. Definitely a fun watch to wear.
