Seiko divers SKXA35
Discussion
I'm interested in purchasing a Seiko divers watch (SKXA35 model), the one with the yellow face (same as the pic posted by Andy Tims in the Coloured Watches thread). From what I've read on the internet this watch is a USA only model and not freely available outside the US market place. I already own an orange faced SKX011j divers, bought new in Dubai for about £90 in 2008 but fancied adding the 'rare' yellow one to my collection.
Has anyone got experiences of buying watches on the internet from the USA and what 'extra' costs are involved, if any. I've seen the watch advertised on Amazon (US site) for about $255.
Or does anyone know of a UK source who has such a new watch for sale?
Thanks for reading

Quick Google threw that up.
Might be able to track one down on Ebay. RK Watchhouse are quite good. They have one yellow faced watch in. but it's a different model

If you order from abroad on Ebay, you'll get charged the taxes. I recently bought a watch from an American seller on Ebay. I asked he marked it as a gift and <£20, but he put the actual value on it and I ended up paying £40 VAT and then £13.50 clearance fee from parcelforce.
If you end up getting one from abroad on Ebay, ask if they can mark it as a gift and <£20 (I think below £20 and you don't have to pay tax.
