@Brad_Olwin Interesting … I see this on the US site from the outside:

Titanium only on the older, bulging cardinal bezel.

@Brad_Olwin What deal dit the Americans made with Finland?

I was just curious about the configuratior and I noticed that the Suunto 9 Baro black would cost €619 when I select The Netherlands as country for the site. When I switched to US, I notitced the same configuration costs $433. At this exchange rate it translates to €368 !?!?

@surfboomerang
yes that does not make sense when I did understand the international trade news in the past couple of years correct…

Brad_Olwin

@surfboomerang It is on sale, the retail price is similar to yours. Is is it on sale as well in the Netherlands?

surfboomerang

@Brad_Olwin Not according to the configurator.

On the “normal” webshop it is, but the price difference is still huge.

Suunto 9 baro black:
NL: ~~€599~~ €499
US: ~~$599~~ $359 (€305)

@surfboomerang does US price include tax?

surfboomerang

@dulko79 Good one! You were right. US price is without taxes.That makes the gap a little smaller:

Suunto 9 baro black:
NL: €599 €499 (€403 without taxes)
US: $599 $359 (€305 without taxes)

@surfboomerang That is still a big gap!

Sorry to hijack this thread.
On the “normal” titanium versions (titanium, ambassador) is the bezel painted?
I saw some pictures and videos and it seems black.
Does it scratch easily?
I find the titanium leather very nice, but…regarding asthetics doesn’t seem to be much difference compared to 9 black.

@André-Faria It does not scratch easily, bought mine when customization was first offered. Lots of miles/time and looks great.
