Watches from Japan
Anyone bought a watch from Seiya or Higuchi recently?
I am quite taken by the Seiko SBPP005 which is not available in the UK.
Any idea how much import duty etc. I could end up paying?

3% import tax and 17.5% VAT 
I want this
SeiyaJapan | Grand Seiko | G-Shock | Seiko Spirit | Prospex | Marinemaster | Citizen | Grand Seiko Spring Drive GMT SBGE001
Or
SEIKO 600M Spring Drive
Both look amazing with unrivalled movements.
Can't bring myself to buy a watch i've never seen or held in the flesh though!

Didn't get stung for any import tax when I got a G Shock from Japan but got VERY stung (charged well over what it should have been) when I bought an RC car from Oz.
That's a nice watch.

Here are the pics.
It's wearing well.
I ended up paying tax on an amount somewhere between the true cost and the value written on the outside of the packaging, so I didn't complain
