Dial replacement on 15400
Hi everyone,New to the watch world. I have recently taken interest in a watch.. it was a royal oak 15400, and was originally a black dial.

Duty Charge of GMT Master II from Japan?
I am in the market for a GMT Master II BLNR and will be in Japan next month. If I buy it there, I can avoid taxes in Japan, but I SHOULD claim it upon returning to the U.S. and pay duty on it. Does anyone know what the duty for such a purchase would be? I don't want to be surprised and want to be honest with claiming it.
