Baume & Mercier Men's Hampton Square Titanium Watch #8749
from: By Michael R. Bell
Perfect Timing, Perfect Company...
I had carefully examined this watch at Tenshodo in Tokyo where the
price, including tax, was \525,000 JPY. I wanted this watch, so I
searched out the best price in Tokyo through the internet. The best
price I found was through the World Watch Company in Setagaya-ku. Their
cash only price, including tax, was \351,750 JPY. I then went to
Amazon.com and found the identical watch through Perfect Timing for
$2,839.99 USD, plus $59.95 USD for Amazon international shipping
charges (Perfect Timing international shipping charges were about half,
but for some reason, I could not order directly from them).
This is my third watch from Perfect Timing, so I had confidence in
purchasing from them again. One day after I placed my order through
Amazon, Perfect Timing e-mailed me to let me know that there may be
duties and extra charges associated with this purchase. I confirmed
with them that this was okay, and they shipped the next day. The
following day, the watch arrived in Tokyo via UPS. Duties and taxes
added another \9,100 JPY to the watch making the total price about
\323,075 JPY. Comparing this to the best cash only price I could get in
Tokyo from WWC, I saved about \28,675 JPY ($259.00 USD), and I added
frequent flyer points to my credit card for this purchase. The watch
was on my wrist within the same week after making a decision to
purchase it at Tenshodo. It does pay to shop around.
My experience with Perfect Timing was once again...PERFECT. Their
name is synonymous with their service, and I would highly recommend
doing business with this company. For international orders, everything
was perfectly packaged, including an international warranty card as
well as a six months extension on this warranty offered directly from
Perfect Timing.
It should be noted that there were other companies on the Amazon
site offering the same watch at a lower price. However, my past
experience with Perfect Timing, and that this was an international
order, prompted me to pay a bit more to ensure perfect service again.
