Big congrats! But a million BLRO’s??? Please share this GMT Shangri-La! Or is Nakano Broadway an easy place to get to? How is it there are that many BLRO’s??? Sincerely interested.
Cheers!

But even with weak yen and duty free price only a couple thousand above retail…not sure if that’s above US or Japan retail but regardless, suggests there’s a decent chance the flipper sold at a loss as the dealer needs to make a margin. In any event not at hug premium. Which is great because I’ve been trying to get his model from my AD too! |

We thought we were going to get arrested or disappeared or something. They asked for my passport and looked at all the countries I've visited and asked me some simple questions like where I'm going or where I live etc. etc. Then the guy with the duffel bag says to me "You bought a Rolex? Where is it?" I showed him I was wearing it, he looked it over and then said "nice watch" and "thank you" and then let us go. First time this has happened to me lol. Quote:

Big congrats. Definitely much more special than the SS and feels much more substantial on the wrist. Welcome to the Meteorite club :)

I've dropped into this thread a couple of times to see the pictures, this watch is truly stunning. I love the blue and red with the white dial contrast.

As I have previously mentioned, "almost" every and any Rolex is available in Tokyo Japan. Exchange rate, and no tax (with your passport), make every purchase totally possible, even probable.
For the money you pay over MSRP in the US, you can fly to Tokyo, have a great time, get a watch, and fly home ! |

Wowzers! I'm heading to Japan in August with wife and boys. Super excited. Could only dream of coming back with this piece. Congrats, OP!

Thanks all, really loving the watch and I've still been wearing it everyday.
You'll love it, Japan is an amazing country and the food is incredible. There are a ton of watches to see at the grey dealers, enjoy your trip! |

Thanks guys, I notice with this watch I'm always trying to find new angles to look at the dial to see if I can notice any different patterns. It's so good.
