Yup, all were from Japan coming to the east coast, including the incoming Pelagos. /u/hope2c50 is right, it definitely seems to depend on who’s shipping the watch.

I’ve had mixed experiences with Chrono24 and customs. Two different ~$1000 purchases didn’t have any import fee, while another $850 one did. All were declared at the appropriate values, so who knows. I’ve got a Pelagos on the way that I know I’m going to get dinged on, not looking forward to that!

I’ve got an 8 inch, very flat wrist and wear a 36mm King Seiko all the time. You can definitely pull off 38!
