Very Nice! I've been considering that model for a while, but wasn't sure how it would fit my similar sized wrist.

One question I haven't been totally sure on: Are the dial markers silver or black? Hard to tell in pictures, depending on lighting.

The C65 fits great, because of the way it is contoured, it seems to wear smaller than the 41mm dial would suggest. My other watches are all in the 38mm range so this is the largest dial watch that I own.

The markers are silver with lume in the middle.

Great watch, did you have to pay import duties ?, I am asking because I am considering purchasing, however I live in China ( although British) and I heard the import dutie is 50% of the purchase value

Every country has their own customs guidelines. It would be best to check a Chinese government website for internet purchase/import regulations.

I too have heard that foreign purchases of watches are subject to a duty of up to 50%, but have no idea if that applies to internet purchases.

Now whilst google is often your friend, unfortunately that isn’t always the case! :problem:

Yep VAT on import seems to typically be 13% or 17%, as usual it is calculated on the cost of the item, the cost of shipping and the import tariff/duty for the item. The key is to find the correct tariff, otherwise you can’t calculate the overall cost.

It also depends which country an item originates from, which I appreciate in this case will be the UK.

And no I haven’t found the correct code to be able to calculate the fully landed cost to a purchaser, as it’s in the too difficult whilst sitting in the garden category. :lol:
