Buying a watch (specifically Casio G-Shock) abroad - where?

[PardonTheWait]

This might turn up some sneers from the very people who are in the best position to advise, but I thought I'd ask anyway!

I fancy a G-shock watch for some reason, specifically one with a tide graph on it.

The one I want only seems to be freely available in white and red in the UK and I want a black one.

If it helps, it's the GLX-5600-1 in black that I want. It's on watchshop.com but out of stock and I've put a stock alert thinger on there but all the other places that have it seem to be international and I don't know who's reliable.

Anyone know who's good?

I would just order it from a reputable Ebay seller. You get far better buyer protection than ordering one directly.

This one?

This one?

That's the kiddy, that Casio's amazon shop? There's only one in stock and it's ages til me birthday! That looks like the best bet though.

Otherwise I suppose you're right about eBay, if it doesn't turn up I'll be all sorted. Just all these random foreign eBay sellers give me the heebie jeebies.

as its amazon and its the german site theres no worries about import tax or anything.

What you might find at checkout is it will give you the option to pay in local currency (GBP) at a funky exchange rate, just click no pay in Euros and you tend to get a far better price

I always look on random regional amazon sites, some bargains to be had at times

Good tip, hopefully it'll still be there when I can get my parents to get it for me for my birthday by convincing them that I'll definitely drown if I haven't got a tide watch

Cheers!
