Myth, myth, myth. Especially where 6 figure watches come in play. Would that it were.

Ouch. That rules out a favorite for me. I figured the in-house move would also significantly move prices.

$12,700 for the Top Gun Chrono - that's £8K (and change) GBP at the current FX rate, BUT I absolutely GUARANTEE it'll be more than that in this country. I reckon £10k minimum.

At £8k it'd be not too bad considering the non-chronograph Deepsea is current £7.7k here, but as I say, Rip-Off-Britain means it WON'T be £8k over here......

No desire to defend watch company pricing, but bear in mind that those prices are plus tax whereas UK / European prices are quoted taxes in which makes it a little bit more even.

Of course European sales taxes tend to be quite a bit higher than US especially so the total paid is still very different, but not quite so much down to the company.

True enough.... (but it'll still be more here anyway!)
