Just on the ebay thing, I'm sure you and many on here know but ebay failed in Japan. Everyone uses Yahoo Auctions or Mercari, with businesses using Yahoo Auctions or Rakuten. If you see a watch on ebay listed as from Japan, it's quite possibly available at a lower price from the same shop or seller on one of those sites.

It's worth checking. Plus there is much more choice, as the great majority of Japanese sellers never use ebay at all.

This link should get you a listing of the 1000+ Credor models currently offered on Yahoo Auctions. Hope it’s useful.
