This is my first watch from a Chinese seller and I need some advice.

Should I buy the watch from Seestern's Aliexpress page ( € 187,56 Free shipping via Aliexpress)?

Or should I buy it from their website (169 USD = 143 Euro Free Shipping) , they offer express shipping but it costs 30 USD = 25 Euro extra?

Or should I buy the watch from WR watches? 179 USD =151,20 Euro with free shipping, they offer express shipping but it costs 20 USD =17 Euro?


What is the situation with the customs and import tax is going to be? I am in Germany
I heard if the watch costs under 150 Euro, you don't have to pay anything for the customs and import tax?

Thanks in advance

for us in Europistan, Aliexpress can collect VAT only for items (shipping not included) priced under 180€

so i guess ordering from their website should be the cheapest, as it comes down to 170€ (143 + 19% german vat) + whatever customs handling fees you have to pay in Germany (unless the customs handling fees exceed the 17€ difference, of course :) but i'd honestly just pay the Aliexpress price [which is inclusive of the VAT] just so i don't have to deal with customs and their shenanigans, not to mention wait forever for them to process stuff)
