I frequently find myself enjoying wearing the Tudor Oyster Prince 34 very much, despite it’s humble origin. It’s light, versatile, keeps great time and makes me smile a little every time I put it on.

US import duties and exemptions
I’m not trying to start a political debate. I just want the facts of what is happening right now. Lots of confusing changes going on and it’s hard to decipher what is correct and how it applies to buying watches from overseas.
