this watch is worth less than $20 Canadian?

I ordered this Sea Turtle Bronze from Boderry in HK. https://www.boderry.com/en-ca/produc...-watch-seablue A pretty good deal I thought - $159 USD less 10%, freight included. I would have ordered from Amazon - I think it is $202 CDN vs. about $198 including the Visa exchange - but Amazon is showing the Miyota movement (non-hackable) vs. the Seiko NH35.

The watch arrived in 8 days - 4PX is pretty efficient! I was worried that the courier wouldn't leave the watch because I would owe about $50 for brokerage, duty and taxes. No problem, no bill. I'm not saying it happened here, but apparently Chinese companies often declare valuations of $20 to avoid duty and taxes.

Anyway, a nice watch for $200 and it will be interesting to see how it tarnishes. Boderry says to soak it in ketchup or coke if you want to renew the shine.
