what to do...
thank you for your knowledgeable answers. now i can face the next challenge. do i buy brand new bond seamaster blue coaxial 41mm or get the PO preowned (2005). the PO is on strap which i will get rid of immediately and buy a braclet (which will cost additional). will this still be feasible?i ok with buying both brand new and preowned. but in this case which one? i want to use this for daily beater and some salt water diving. i have never bought an omega before. if i choose to go preowned. what do i need to check for authenticity. is there something like a laser etched crown, Where can i find the serial number?

So, here is the current State of the Collection.I'm tying to get something a little more special for my next.I love the 16610 and the 116610LV. The Black Bay is incredible to look at, but if I'm honest, I gravitate to the Submariners, but it is such a value, I don't see selling it as much of a benefit. Right now the PAM 232 price is in the TANK. Seriously, if anyone has thought about getting one before, get it now. The brown on the dial is perfect. I'm wearing this one today, but I feel like I can't wear it all the time due to its size.I've had a couple PCL models now that have come and gone. The 116710LN and the 116520 black dial. Something about the Daytona, I always thought I would mar it up and that isn't a watch that looks good scratched IMHO. Because of this I have shied away from AP 15300/15202. Those things are to pretty to scratch! Feel like I'd be holding my wrist away from my body all the time and look like a nut.At the time I felt the 116710LN didn't fit me well a

Tax when buying a Rolex watch in the US and bring it to Korea?
Hi, I am a U.S. citizen living in California. I am planning to buy a Rolex watch here and give it to a friend in Korea as a gift. I was wondering whether there would be any tax issue in this case. 1> Will I need to pay any tax for the watch in Korea customs? 2> Will I need to pay any tax if I buy the watch at a duty free Rolex shop in the U.S. and bring it to Korea? In this case, is it okay to bring the box and the warranty card with the watch? 3> Will there be any difference between buying the watch at a retail shop and buying it at duty free shop in the U.S. when bringing it to Korea? Thanks in advance for any help!
