I’ve bought watches from chrono24 from Japanese sellers (Watchnian/IPPUSHIKI and Closer). I’ve only paid at most 10% of the paid price so I want to say I’ve only ever paid the tax (Ontario).
The watches I’ve bought from Watchnian were marked as A grade, but they were basically both brand new with box and papers. Got both watches basically at 35-40% off with taxes. The one from Closer required servicing from Longines. As long as you do your due diligence, and buy from reputable sellers, you should still be saving money.
