Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2020

Alright guys. After two days of painful deliberation and watching the AUD starting to tick up today, I broke down and finally ordered the black Dartmouth on bracelet. $685.56 currently pending on my card if anyone is curious. The clearance prices were incredible, but the Dartmouth really spoke to me. Actually it was more of a soft whisper..."buy me"

Congrats, that’s the one I have in my basket but haven’t pulled the trigger.

True confession time: I genuinely considered buying both variants because I couldn't decide between blue and black dial. In the end, after looking at some photos of the vintage Seamaster 300 and [mention]valuewatchguy[/mention]'s review , I decided on the black dial.

I ended up with the C65 Trident in Blue for $523. I couldn’t resist that price anymore. I’m in da CW club.

One thing, CW didn’t send me an email for purchase, did you guys get a purchase email?

Regarding the AUD exchange rate - Anyone know how to find the exact rate a CC is using?

Perhaps someone with more insight can chime in.

I called my bank and they told me their currency exchange fee is "up to 1%"; they were pretty clueless on how the exchange rate is calculated. After some digging they said the "network" (i.e. MasterCard, Visa, etc.) determines the exchange rate. In my case MC's online calculator with 1% conversion fee was pretty spot on.

I got two emails with pretty similar content (order details) within 30mins of purchase. Spam/junk folder?

Mine uses bank rates of the day but it's a credit card specifically for travel. some will charge you a percentage to exchange. just like PP will. You have to know the policies of the card you use it's very important for foreign currency transactions, I only use the one for those. But if you don't know the polices of your card, they are probably not good, and I think PP only charges 2% which isn't all that bad, so I would recommend using PP and charging to your card in USD.

That’s what I did

For some reason my transaction was failing when purchased directly using the card but succeeded when I purchased via Paypal (using the same card). Paypal displayed the conversion rate / final cost before completing the transaction. In my case, it ended up being about $30 USD more expensive than Google calculated it to be (~$630 > ~$600), but still a steal on the Sandhurst Chronometer. So -- if Paypal is available, that's one way to preview the final cost.

(Plus, CHW claims 60 days free returns, which I guess is one way to fix the problem if the cost is wrong)

This is what I'd do. Usually the previously discussed buy in GBP trick works best if you have a card that charges no foreign transaction fee. But these AUD prices are so good even with the fee charged by Paypal, which as [mention]Bergbergs[/mention] notes you get to see upfront, it's a killer deal.
