I'd like a dress watch to round off my small 4 piece collection and love the Tank but can't justify it for the odd occasion I'd wear it. Probably have to settle for a cheap substitute for now in the Seiko SUP880P1, currently with 20% off @John Lewis, and maybe have something to look forward to as a retirement gift for myself in a few years :thumbup:

So I went to buy a watch, and the man in the shop said "Analogue." I said "No, just a watch."

That sent me looking for the watch, whereupon I cam across this...

The banner at the top of the site says site wide, but the discount is not applied to many of their more expensive models (M79 auto I was looking at). As my youngest would say, hashtag sad times.
30% off Marlin automatics. 24hrs only.

Any help?

That’s a pretty amazing deal on the Glycine Combat Sub. It’s one of the thinnest automatic dive watches on the market.

Maybe a silly question. I have bought from both Ashford and Jomashop and had to pay VAT on the imports to the UK. It's now occurred to me (as a result of discussing future imports from the EU) to wonder whether the US can reduce price for their exports to exclude sales tax (ie like VAT). I've never seen it mentioned and maybe it's not available, but I just wondered.

Virtually all pricing in the US is shown exclusive of sales tax. So the price you see on Jomashop in UK is the same price shown to US customers.

The US customer will have local sales tax added to their final invoice price (depending on where they live and where the shop is) and export customers will have local tax added - in UK case 20% VAT.

It may not be the ultimate bargain but it’s definitely a watch I’d like to try...
