It's not actually cheaper to purchase in dollars from the US website, not after you add on UK VAT at 15%...village wrote:Dogwood wrote:so when I buy a CW watch from the UK website
Why aren't you using the US website? It's cheaper for you!

Exactly....
What has happened to the prices?

Ideal number of watches in your collection = current number of watches + 1...

But you wouldn't add 15% if you live outside of the UK/EU (which Dogwood does)Tooks wrote:It's not actually cheaper to purchase in dollars from the US website, not after you add on UK VAT at 15%...village wrote:Dogwood wrote:so when I buy a CW watch from the UK website

I must have missed the bit where Dogwood said he was in America!!village wrote:Which is what i was refering to.ctafield wrote:But you wouldn't add 15% if you live outside of the UK/EU(which Dogwood does)
Anyway, I guess I was just pointing out to anybody thinking of trying it that it isn't cheaper for a UK citizen to buy in dollars from the CW USA website! In fact it's more expensive, so maybe we haven't got it so bad afterall!!

Re: What has happened to the prices?
If you think the CW price increase is bad.
I have just looked at the RRP of my grail watch, a Zenith Grande Port Royale, and that has increased by £750!!!

Re: What has happened to the prices?
With the Pound going down 30% against other major currencies, everyone is paying more but out of the EU it is 15 % less.
