Offer of £7950 for this offshore, seems like a good deal with the ability to return the item if it's not completely up to scratch.

I'm just a bit uncertain about going through with it on ebay. Seems a good price through I have to say for the chrono version

Do your research on them, and they've given a phone number that you could call and chat for 5 minutes or so about it, and how much hassle there would be in returning it, vis-a-vis reclaiming the paid import duty and VAT.
Might be willing to do a deal directly, so saving a few more ££ in the process.

Same ones here, for comparison, inc theirs.

Or better still – no B&P though, and may need £185 spent on returning it to tip-top condition.

And I'm leaning more toward this one on a bracelet, which isn't a cheap, especially after having bought the watch on its default rubber strap to begin with!

So its up as a Buy it Now for c£10,250 but they will take £7,950? That's some drop...........Plus my luck I'd get stung the 20% VAT for US import and the 'Admin' fee by the courier. There are ways around this but are not legal according to HMRC
