probably worth going to inspect suppliers, stay in a nice business hotel, have a few free days so you can investigate the local market and take cosec with you?

Only in Britain, being a fully paid up member of the EU, could ordering a German made part for a Jap car from the USA be cheaper than buying it from Germany.
Gotta love this ****ed up freezing hell hole of a country.

I order American car parts all the time from the US, always by credit card and anything over about $125 you have to pay Duty & VAT on. Not had any issues. Escrow accounts can work but mean too much faffing about unless it's an individual who doesn't take cards rather than a business. Paypal fees are usually too high for larger items.
What sort of watch? Pics please.

I would insist on Visa/Mastercard otherwise.
