Live in Tokyo? Lived in Tokyo? Visiting Tokyo?

If Lived, yes. What's the Q?

This section is for meetups so living in Tokyo is the main question. A secondary question could be visiting, although it's not an easy place to visit unless one already lives in Japan these days.

Look up Austin Daniels on YT. I was planning on visiting Tokyo during summer, but my plans changed and my family went ahead without me. Had I proceeded with my plan, I had intentions of catching up with Austin.

Yeah I've seen some of his videos. We have a mutual friend so I'll ask him to connect me to Austin.

Does anyone know why Austin Daniels has essentially disappeared off of Youtube this summer? I think the last vid he made was back in June?

Not exactly relevant, but does anyone have Tokyo, Kyoto, or Hokkaido recommendations for interesting watch stores?

Yes, I am in Tokyo. Always open to meet up with fellow Rolex enthusiasts. Coincidentally, I just picked up a new Rolex from a Tokyo AD last week. Pix to be posted this weekend.

Also based in Tokyo. Never had a chance at any sports models from an AD so went gray for all my ss sports models unfortunately.

Reviving an old thread.
Taking a trip back to Tokyo this summer and wanting again to stop by the Rolex Service Center branch in the Marunouchi district next to Tokyo station. I purchased some bezel inserts for my 16700 there back in 2022 but after a map and google search, the shop isn't showing up. Does anyone know if it's still open or has relocated? I'm wanting to stop by this time to purchase a jubilee bracelet for my GMT Master.

I have a specific few pieces I’m looking for.

Lowtech #6 they are just hitting the market from the July drop.

AP Japan editions. The 15503BC and the chrono version of the same watch.
I already have a dealer there who has one and the price is good not great but in my range.

Now there are several sellers because they had a lottery, in July they will draw the 7.5.

Sorry yes you are correct the ones hitting the market are from the last lottery. The new drop I’m not sure what it is

I’m here now and will start shopping on Friday or Saturday

Steele either through PM or on the thread would be willingly to share which dealers to check out in Japan for rolex/AP. Specifically those that don't trade in the overpolished watches I often see on Jack Road.
