My suggestion is buy abroad if you are there and wear it with you when going home. Or you can just get from a local dealer. You are surely going to pay a big amount in taxes and duties if you have it sent here via a courier.

Simple example - our colleagues from Sydney sent us a network router worth around 1k USD via Fedex. When it arrived, the customs duties and taxes amounted to around 15k.

Para lang yan Submariner/GMT na iba iba kulay, iba iba presyo.[emoji23]

So it looks like they've found yet another way to milk the Speedy. 🙄

Nice to have the original 321 movement that made history but at the price they're charging vs the 1861?

thanks sa suggestion sir, yan din iniisip ko baka mapamahal pa ako sa custom tax pag pina daan ko sa fedex courier ang watch.

Di kita pipigilan kung bibili ka nyan. Ako, kahit yung 1861 masaya na ako doon.

13k USD is too much a price to ask but they did say this is a limited edition.

I am also hoping to get my hands a pre-owned Moonwatch. It is easier to find and also more affordable compared to a pre-owned Navitimer.

thats an impressive powerreserve from many years back. even today it is still good. Thanks for the link

Do you want a long power reserve at a much lower cost? Look at Tissot's and Certina's Powermatic models as they have an 80-hour power reserve. Hamilton also has the H50 (80 hours) and H21 (60 hours) movement available on some of their automatic watches.

My Longines Hydroconquest with the L888 caliber has a 60+ power reserve and with an accuracy between +3 to +5 daily.

Interesting movements, i'll have to bookmark them for later study.
