Hi, I am hoping to buy a Navitimer this week (still trying to make up my mind between a 01 and a GMT).

I'm trying to weigh up all of my options / sources... such as an AD in Ireland or authenticwatches.com

If anyone has any other options or reputable sources, could you please share, thank you.

I have used authenticwatches.com with no problems, just be aware that you will not get the same warranty as you will with the AD but you will save a fair amount of money

Thanks, the problem is that I could be subject to import tax when the shipping company bring it into Ireland.

You'll be potentially facing import duty from wherever you buy from outside the country, and possibly currency exchange depending on which country you buy from. If you are looking at that then I would be looking at one of the UK based sponsor ADs who will come close to grey market but with a factory warranty - and that's a huge deal with the 5 year warranty on in house. Alternatively, look at a European AD who can sell to you in Euros.
