Watch shops in Tokyo

[Woodysan]

I went to Shibuya yesterday since the typhoon decided to drop by Saturday.

This is Quark in Shibuya:

Before shopping, read up from several dedicated watch magazines available (Japanese only however):




Then go online:





One nice shop to visit is Jack Road:



They have, IMO, one of the most comprehensive antique collections around...


Am off to Shibuya later, weather allowing, to rack some "Orange Hand" Explorer IIs...

On the other hand, with NIKKEI dropped 1000+ pt today, you may expect to have many many pre-owned rolex to choose from in jap. I think prices will be attractive too... aiya rolex prices in sg still refuse to drop

The JPY went up against the SGD recently over the past weeks. I doubt this would help drive the prices down in Japan as they tend to be relatively cheaper if the JPY suddenly drops for a few days or couple weeks while the shops still have not adjusted. There are a couple of shops in Ueno station near where all the street stalls are....just walk around. There is Nisshindo and of course, Jack Road. Do a search.

Any bros with opinions abt getting a DSSD in JP? Going there in 2 wks. I'm reserving my comments about how good / bad it looks, until I see for it myself in person. A pal of mine got it in Europe shortly after Basel... and he's non-stop talking about how good it looks. Anyone has an idea of the DSSD list price in SG?

hi newbie here... looking to buy a rolex in japan

when browsing the site of JackRoad, i realise that for the same model of rolex, they have (sometime) both local Japan set and Parellel Imported (PI) set. both BNIB. surprisingly the local Japan set is cheaper than the PI set by about SGD120!

which one should i buy? local japan or PI?

understand local japan i will not get the warranty card on the spot but only 6 weeks letter by mail, here of course got risk of not getting the card in the end. but at least I it is local set and have not changed hand so many times, and i will have all official papers and receipt

PI set mean i will get the card on the spot, but it is not as "official" as the local set.

what's ur take?

thanks

Cool!

Thanks!

Hi all, some of you were saying can claim 5% VAT when shopping in Japan. How ah? Pls advise. Will be going Japan end of the year...will grab a Rolex if price is reasonable.

Hi,

I'll be leaving for osaka mid of next week (hoping to buy a no.2). Pet was saying he got a LV there w/o discount ? Does it apply to ALL sports model because i thought LV was in demand then, therefore no discount.

thanks in advance

Wei...you dun pay a premium for the LV you should be laughing already leh

If I were you...I would be happy if they just sell me at list man! Depends on the model I would say,some are worth it to buy there and some are not that. So do check and do some legwork here and in Jp.
