Anonymous: I totally agree with you there! I just love how some folks call a $700 dollar watch “affordable”! Sure, if you’re an instagram “model” or funky YouTuber, they’re affordable. BUT there are those of us who pay rent, taxes, medical bills, etc., can’t afford to plunk down 700 bucks for a watch! Good news, though. There are nice microbrand (and non-microbrand) watches under $400 out there, AND a whole bunch of these with sapphire crystal and 100-300 meters water resistance. You just have to make time to surf the web and search.
]]>Tony – that’s helpful. I plan to visit Switzerland soon. I’d like to get (don’t laugh) a Rolex Daytona Panda. I think they’re about $15k USD, IF one can be found. I guess ship it back to California rather than carry through customs?
Thanks
Jerry, I may be wrong here, but did you not have to mail a form to the original seller showing that the watch was declared at customs in the U.S. (i.e. proving that it left Spain)? I’ve read that if you don’t do that within several weeks, the foreign retailer will charge your card on file for the amount of the VAT
