Will also checkout new watches at grey market. Hopefully i will find something

Any other stories / experiences, please do share ����
To each their own but I would not find the experience of getting rejected by an AD, while on a vacation to be “fun”.

Exploring the wonders of Japan would top my priority list, leaving no room for a visit to watch stores.

“ ** I MUST GET A ROLEX IN THIS TRIP ** ”

Don’t ever let a seller know this is what you are thinking. If so you will get taken for every penny you have.

I personally like Kame-Kichi the most, but most people will also recommend and endorse Jack Road. There are MANY others.

Just wanna give an update, maybe some people are interested ?
As predicted, no steel rolex from any ADs.
Grey prices are too high.

Good news : I got AK from AD in my home country Indonesia

I will go back to Japan again this month, but with a different attitude this time
I do not have to get a rolex :)
Or is the market different now ? Do share your experience !
