Question about what to expect price/customs?

First, does anyone make an “acccurate” 40mm Explorer II polar or are they the new 42mm model? Is one “factory” or seller more well known or most trustworthy.

Also what do they usually cost? I’d be having it shipped to the USA.

I have no idea if it comes through the post and bypasses customs or will come with a separate tax bill?

Thanks

I remember seeing a 16570 from BPF some time ago, but it wasn’t very impressive. An okay base for a potential franken project, but not much more than that in my opinion. Your chances of finding an “accurate” one are probably better if you look at the 216570. For example, the new ones from Clean.

When it comes to sellers, if you choose from the TD list here, they’re all trustworthy. Read some reviews, form your own opinion, and pick the one that suits you best. Regarding factories, you really need to spend some time understanding which ones are the best. The "best" factory varies from watch to watch and brand to brand.

I recommend checking out the websites of a few different TDs, the prices vary:

The TDs know how to handle customs, but there’s always a risk.

What should I generally expect to pay? Also I’m confused as to what sellers work with what factories aka who sells “Clean” factory stuff, one person or many people?

A 226570 from Clean goes for somewhere between 480-530 dollars, depending on who you buy from.

The TDs sell watches from various factories, such as Clean, VSF, BTF, QF, etc. Usually, most TDs can get you the watch you want from the factory you prefer.

The factories NEVER sell directly to you as the end customer, always buy through a TD. Don’t trust websites that claim to be a factory.
