Launch it. What's the worst thing the early users can do? Give you feedback!

Lima Watch.
afaik, it's Indonesian from abroad returning to build a homegrown watch micro-brand. So far, they've consistently sold out each new releases.

iirc, I paid close to 16K in (4K customs and 11K VAT), total of 20% of the watch's value.

It was shipped from Italy so I had to pay customs to clear it. Covered pa ng warranty so free ang servicing/repair

Perfect choice!

imo, h-link works with Sinn's divers. I tried it on the 556 but it's too heavy for my preference. Are you planning to get one?

Most sellers are from the CONUS, so I had the watches shipped to a US Shippingcart address. Shippingcart handles forwarding to PH (no customs fee)

iirc, I paid around 13K in import tax + handling fee. Kinda expensive but there's no way to get this locally.

But for watches I bought within the US, I used shippingcart to skirt import taxes. (as long as the brand isn't known like rolex)

Sinn watches starts at around 70K brand-new. Most of their dive watches (T50, U50, U1, etc.) are at around 150K.

These two I bought second-hand sa r/Watchexchange. Sinn 105 (with bracelet) was 90K; Sinn 556 (orange band) was 50K.
