    If you're seriously asking for opinions, provide more details.

    Seller has strong feedback and eBay gives you a lot of protection. Don't know enough about the make model to judge the watch from photos.

    Why would you buy from Hong Kong?

    I have bought lots of Casios from HK and not paid any extra VAT yet.

    Isn't VAT on international purchases automatically added to the price on Ebay.co.uk now, so there should be no additional charges when it arrives in the UK?

    Only if using eBays International shipping program I think, at least on one's I've looked at.
