Well, it looks like for those interested, you can get it from Amazon.co.uk, and even with international shipping, you'll get it sooner and for less than $200.

TigoleThere are many international online retailers that offer Braun watches, however some may not be authorized retailers. Braun watches purchased through authorized US retailers such as massdrop.com are fully backed by a two year warranty provided by the United States distributor.

JuanJThat's hogwash.
The watch I used for that screenshot was sold by Amazon, not a 3rd party via Amazon. Amazon is not in the business of being a grey market dealer. The warranty they state is by the manufacturer, not through them as a grey market dealer would have.
Furthermore, the FAQ at http://www.braun-clocks.com/faqs states:

Who we are
Zeon is the licensed manufacturer and distributor of Braun watches and clocks and is one of the largest watch manufacturers and distributors in the UK. We have sales turnover in excess of 2.5 million timepieces a year. Please visit www.zeonltd.co.uk for more information.
Do you have shops that I can visit? We do not have any stores of our own however you will find Braun watches and clocks in various retailers worldwide.

I think Amazon would certainly under the "various retailers worldwide" umbrella. If they really had an authorized dealer network, I'm sure they'd be a bit more specific about it. Also, nowhere in that FAQ is there any mention of "authorized" dealers.

TigoleYou are correct. Amazon UK is an authorized retailer for Braun, and like you mentioned "the warranty they state is by the manufacturer. The warranty offered through authorized US retailers such as massdrop.com is by the US distributor, which gives you access to many of the Braun Watches US service centers as opposed to sending your watch for service to the UK.
