Chaps, I'm after a bit of help. One of the watches I want to replace is my much-loved Casio Duro Marlin in Blue. Where's the best place to buy from?
I'm on the Continent so need to be careful about taxes. So far all I can find are US sellers that don't ship to Lux, or Israeli sellers that I'm sure are charging twice what I paid before (maybe that's the going rate these days) but can anyone point me to a reputable European seller please?
I'd say Barchettaman could help, but i've also emailed you.I'm on the Continent so need to be careful about taxes.

He's based in the state's but I've never been hit with any fees when they land.

Thanks for that. I've placed an order and will let you know how it goes. He's based in the state's but I've never been hit with any fees when they land.
ETA - I anticipate having to pay duty but it will still be the cheapest I've seen by some margin.

Had this set of Bambinos come in the other day. I can see why they get so much praise.
Incredible watches for the money.
Ultimately I sold mine as I’m not really a dress-watch kind of guy, but that was no fault of the watch.
Anyone in the market for that style (dressy, leather, well-finished) should give it a close look. I used to call it my Poundland Calatrava.
If you buy pre-owned you’ll get back what you paid, should you, like me, come to sell it on, if you have a bit of luck.
In other budget horological news, that €55 Hanowa automatic is getting a new strap courtesy of our friends in China. €5 shipped and one of these is on the way:
I like it a LOT on leather but brown isn’t really the colour:
Still running like an absolute champ and didn’t look out of place yesterday in Vienna. You might feel there’s a bit of a contradiction as it also looks dressy but it‘s more of a stainless steel sports, ahem, ‘piece’, and the crystal sits pretty flush so I’m less worried about dinging it.
