Recommended used Rolex dealers in Tokyo?
I'll be in Japan soon - can anyone recommend any used rolex watch dealers in Tokyo or Osaka?
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks. |

Avoid Quark, I had a less than pleasant experience with them. Their prices are not competetive as well.

Been there. Great prices if you are paying in Yen, knowledgable and nice staff and a great selection! If you are changing Dollars to Yen at 77 Yen to the Dollar the prices will be high. |

In Tokyo try Jack Road and Satin Doll.
I have purchased watches from both of these Dealers. The exchange rate was much better at the time. |

If in Tokyo, do try to get to Jack Road in Nakano's Broadway shopping center, on the same floor is another respectable seller with better prices than Jack Road, name escapes me for the mo, will try to get it posted later. Agree with Gaijin, Quark is expensive! A good seller is Il Sole in Shimokitazawa, very trustworthy though not much wiggle room on price IMHO. You might try going around the smaller dealers in Ueno too-because their overheads are less you might find something tastily priced. Pity the yen is so strong at the moment but good hunting!

Just remembered, Kame Kichi, in Nakano-I have always found them much friendlier than the Jack Road staff who know their watches but don't seem the friendliest bunch. Also try Corleone in Harajuku-not cheap but very tasty vintage pieces!
