    There's an Orient watch I have my eye on but it's only available from retailers in Japan. The eBay offers are cheap (160 EUR), whereas the Amazon ones are 220+.

    Does Amazon include VAT and Customs duty at checkout? Is there a chance if I order from eBay that the watch will arrive without extra Revenue charges?

    Yes, you can prepay customs charges with Amazon.
