26-06-2020 9:15pm#1I've wanted one of these for years now
It was only sold new in Japan and in small numbers. Expensive - EUR860 shipped is the cheapest I can find. I know I should wait until the day I shall finally visit Japan, or get someone to bring it back for me. But neither is likely to happen anytime soon
My finger is on the trigger to order one from Japan, anyone any comments on that? I know I'm going to lose money on it if I ever sold it again, particularly if I get stung for VAT bringing it in. Surely nobody has one for sale around here or knows of any for sale elsewhere? I can't view sales corner on TZUK.3

That’s a cracking looking watch0 -

I think that picture was enhanced a bit by its owner, apparently the blue only really comes out fully like that in bright sunlight. But I like that picture :-)
That's because it's not a photo you've taken :P
If you took the photo, the value would already have dropped a few hundred quid
Seriously tho!
Absolutely cracking watch, hopefully one of the lads with TZUK sales access can take a look there for you as it's a bloody stunner!0 -

If you need someone to take photos for you
:pac:
It won't be for sale, so no need to take pictures for my ad
But here's the thing. You are honing your photography skills. I have observed that others in here reckon you are not quite up to scratch. It would of course help your business with the Solas watches if you either get a pro in like david's missus or upskill yourself.
Somehow I get the impression that you want to do it yourself. Here is my challenge to you and I'm being serious. You take a picture of my SBBN037 and publish it in this thread (digitally enhance it if you like) that is at least as beautiful as the one in my OP
Go on, I challenge you!0 -

I had meant the other watches you're planning on putting up on adverts. But also tongue in cheek.
And as for taking more photos - the day job might get int the way of that - too much fun today means I'll need to put in some extra hours tomorrow on the other side
We could do a photo competiton of let's PS unkel's watch and see who makes the most fun one
Edit: if you're interested in doing selective colour/b&w - that's relatively easy (and there are even phone apps that will do it quickly too) - no need for a desktop or complicated software.0 -

We'll have to see. Hope not of course
And there is no import duty on watches, but technically there is VAT due of 23%.
Heh - there is substantial duty on watches - I think 5% of declared value(?) - BUT - it is limited to maximum of 80c per watch

I was blanching at the extra cost in import duties for the Starlight until I saw the last line and looked at what "per specie" meant :P0
