Wow! I'd love to know too. They say they give additional 5% off if shipping outside Japan. Is the exchange rate that good right now I wonder?

.

The following chart is made of official price lists from various country, then converted in US$ (using last saturday change value, in yellow).

You can see that with actual Yen vs Us$ change, prices are actually very interesting in Japan. Don't forget that your US prices don't include taxes, where it's included in all other countries of this chart (percentage indicated also).

Don't do it. You run a big risk trying to import a Rolex through US Customs.

No problem, put the watch on wrist, send the box and papers with Fedex to friend address.
It works with all Customs on the planet.

Most prices look good. But I bought the BLNR for $8950, that was US retail price. They have it much higher on that website.

Interested as well on this seller Jupiter Jewelry... does anyone else have experience with them?

Also, with regards to US Customs, wouldn't you just pay the duty once it arrives? Or is there some other risks that I'm not aware of?

If you wear it into the US then yes, you need to declare it and pay duty.

If you are asking for it to be shipped, that is a trademark violation and paying duty will be the least of your problems as the watch would likely be seized.

I ordered a wolf winder from US to my country (Greece). The European customs follow the same policies for all the countries members of EU . So I had to pay 300 $ tax for an item worthing 450$ . I asked them what will be the amount of tax for a luxury watch and told me ; dont think about it !! I' m sure the same occurs in the customs of US ..

The person who posted the question is from Slovenia. Does the EU customs just as difficult as US?

You would need to ask the customs officials in the country in question

Awesome prices, though as others have alluded, an equally awesome headache to import.
Honestly, with some of the sellers here offering inclusive overnight postage, I wouldn't mind spending a few extra hundred for hassle free.
