Rolex Datejust II

[Nattyboy62]

Hi need some advice please.

Looking to purchase Datejust II Model 116333, would prefer either new (unworn) or one about 1-2 years old.

I have seen some going for £6750 2013 and £6150 for a 2012.

Not sure on a price for a brand new one.

Seems a lot on EBay from America priced about £5.5-£6.5 for new plus about £40 delivery.

Has any one had any experience from purchasing from Ameriica and is there duty plus ant extra hidden costs to pay ?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

If you're bringing goods for personal use into the UK, or sending or ordering them from abroad, including over the internet, you may need to pay UK Customs Duty, Excise Duty and/or import VAT. What you pay and how much depends on the type of goods and where they come from.

Simple rule of thumb, whatever your buying and importing from the US.
Add the cost of item + shipping + 20%
This will give you a rough guide to the import duties & UK handling charge of paying all the fees involved.
With that in mind the S/H US watches cost more than a new one from an AD in the UK
