Influenced by my Father and his banged up Timex Marlin with the aged yellow acrylic and Twisto-Flex band. I guess this makes me a minimalist. In memory of my dear Father my favorite watch is the Hamil...

It will vary depending on how they ship, customs, etc. I have ordered many watches from overseas, and only one got flagged. Neither of these are at a price where they will likely get hit. I did not pay anything on my Serica. Again, YMMV.

The Serica is awesome. It’s a nicer version of a khaki field and fits great. Very nice people as well.
My understanding and experience is that if the watch is under $800 there's no duty. Over that and and the duty is around the same as sales tax.
I could dig up the exact details, if you need them.

So far it looks like it’s random or the amount is below that of custom fees

Fabulous!
I purchased one of the Serica field watches and was not charged for US customs. The cutoff is >$800, if I'm not mistaken, and those aren't that expensive.

Thanks so much🙂
Never was hit by Customs on a Yema. The last one I owned I donated to @HotWatchChick69 watch auction for charity. A very happy WC cruncher still wears it. Go for both and enjoy!
Four watches from Europe, two under $1000 and two above. The two above got held up in customs for duty. I had to fill out a watch clock worksheet, which requires you to break down cost of watch by case, movement, and strap, as well as identity a few other basic facts. In both cases I reached out to sellers (Baltic and Maen) and they responded within 24hrs to help complete form for me. Yay microbrands. The duty was less than $100 per watch.

If it has a declared value >$800 I believe it pays import tariff. Some companies will automatically add state sales tax, which is annoying. Don’t know about Yema
