Hello wonderful people!

Wanna check with y'all, if buy watch (around 5k - 10k) from overseas - UK/Japan, how much import duty/tax & brokerage fee I need to pay? Let's say I use DHL or FedEx delivery service.

Toilet paper is a luxury if it's not accessible . Like in certain countries.
Starbucks can be luxury and drinking it everyday can be extravagant.

Luxury is subjective.

I would say something that is hard to obtain is luxury. If you earn 1 billion dollars a year . USD 50,000 wont be a luxury to them. Because its easily to obtain for them.

It will be a luxury item if you're only earn USD 5000 a month.. That's just my opinion.

But people love luxury things because they are hard to obtain. It can give that satisfying feeling of achievement to obtain them.

It's basically a few big tickets consumables and goes by price.

These include cars priced at over MYR200,000 (US$42,657); watches over MYR20,000; and jewellery over MYR10,000.

Need some recommendation for daily usage watch. For few years im using apple watch. Plan to change non smart watch for daily usage.

Maybe budget below 1.5k.

thanks

Take a look at Revelot Admiral and Hexmariner series.
If you want bang for the buck, take a look at Pagani Design watches. Build quality for the price is good.
Both use Seiko mechanical movements though some Pagani Design models use different movements.

5205R is a very small watch and not as loud compare to SD.

5205R look more humble to compare to all the watches I have.
