I don't think that you will have to pay anything. If you waer it and keep the box in the luggage, it will be considered as personal use!!!!!!!!!!!!

or just ship it to your own address in UK

Mark - with the strength of the USD at this time, you'll probably be able to get a better deal from a UK AD or TRF member.

Which watch do you want? I can have an AD friend in the US tell you the going price and let you know whether or not you can expect a discount. Also, which city will you be visiting? May be able to negotiate a 10-20% (20% for gold models), but still think it'll be cheaper here in the UK.
