Where to purchase?

[JEA1K]

Have my heart set on a new Sea dweller 4000 for my 40th in March ... was ordering through Frazer Hart but I have two trips booked in Jan to Colorado and Austria via Switzerland in March ... I'm pretty sure there won't be any discount in the UK but does anyone think it would be worth purchasing in the US or Switzerland? Or just buy from Frazer Hart in the UK?

So - just over £7K in the UK (estimate)
You can pick one up in the USA for around $9,500 - around £6,000 - Joma Watches will ship to your hotel in Colorado (sure that there are other dealers who will do this too) - it will only have a Joma warranty (2 years) and not Rolex.

Depends on your view on 'grey watches'!

Thanks Taffy. For £400 or £500 I'm not that bothered ... but for £1k (15% ish) I'd be more inclined ...

I presume 'grey' watches are like anything else 'grey' i.e. the same only cheaper?!;)

If you're flying to North America, why not buy duty free at the airport on your way out?

Making a saving on the VAT I assume? Whats the downside?
