This has to be a price error

It's a used watch, right? That's about where they should be.

These don't go for anything less than around £5900 in the UK. Having read it more I reckon it doesn't come with paperwork hence the unheard of price

Not unbelievably low. I've seen a few sub $8k. 5900 pounds is $9300. I could get a new one for that.

Yeah, I wonder how to place value to the boxes etc. if its 100% original and are cent model tht may not need service...I don't see the point on the boxes etc. Unless you are a flipper, then yes you need the hang tags etc.

In the UK £4750 for a DSSD is like seeing a RR phantom for a pound. Not quite but believe me I bet none of our english members on the forum have seen one so low. If it was a year ago I would probably have bought it.

$ 7,600 approx. seems a bit light I agree so I`d want to know why if I were to talk to the seller.

That's £6,250 and the difference is only one year. Both excellent condition.

So yeah I would be curious as to why the price is so low. Special offer maybe ?

On a side note I love the watchclub website. Prices are decent and they have an interesting and varied stock.

This under the refund policy in "About Us" of above company

"Our watches are sold under the Margin Scheme, a British VAT system catering to second-hand and antique items. The prices advertised are NETT. Goods purchased under this arrangement have no VAT element within the prices, and therefore there is no VAT reclaimable. They are effectively tax-free."

Anyone heard of this? Is VAT then payable in the UK? In which case it's not such a great deal.

I think this explains it!

VAT is not applicable to used watches.
