Hi all, am based out in Tokyo! Any members from/in Tokyo?

Best,

KJ

Shimke · 5 October 2011, 05:33 PM

Hmmmm surprised that there's no one from Japan.... Given how much Japanese ppl love watches and Rolex, in particular!

Shimke · 5 October 2011, 05:34 PM

No one from Tokyo?!

Speed · 10 October 2011, 03:04 PM

"Otto" is in Japan. Works in Tokyo.He and I met up at Jack Road in 2010. Loves those Daytonas.

"Gaijin" is in Fukuoka.

Gaijin · 11 October 2011, 08:46 PM

Yea Man. Living the dream down here in Fukuoka. GTG someday has gotta happen with the Japan members.

Welcome aboard!

Shimke · 22 October 2011, 03:07 AM

hi guys, good to know that there are some Japan based members in this forum.

>> Speed, where are you located?
>>Gaijin, how's fukuoka? tks for the msg!

if any of you chaps are ever in TKO let me know, would love to make your acquaintance.

so, do you guys go to Jack Road often? i heard they over price their pieces there. is that true?

slashd0t · 22 October 2011, 03:12 AM

I live in Canada but I will be in Shinjuku all week :)

Shimke · 22 October 2011, 03:23 AM

shinjuku is a great spot, although tokyo is considered to be among the safest cities, be a tad cautious with the people there at night. otherwise, take a walk around kabukicho (the so-called red light district) at night, it's quite touristy and interesting to walk around.

enjoy enjoy

Shimke · 11 November 2011, 11:23 PM

Do you guys know where would be the cheapest place to buy a watch in Tokyo?

Jackroad? Houseki hiroba in Shibuya?

Shimke · 30 August 2012, 04:17 AM

Any new Tokyo members?

Speed · 31 August 2012, 04:18 PM

Shimke,

I am in the US. However, I was visiting some family and doing some sight seeing in Japan in 2010 when I met up with "Otto"

I thought Jack Road was ok price wise. The used pieces were in such wonderful shape. Box and papers on everything I was looking at. I wish I had purchased the White SS Daytona I tried on. They have gone up in price since then.

Kame Kiche is on the same floor as Jack Road. Comparable prices if I recall.

PM Otto. He can give you the latest on these places.

FightOnSC! · 7 September 2012, 08:22 AM

I'm in Japan every month for at least a week. Osaka

Shimke · 21 October 2012, 10:32 PM

Awesome!! Thank you for the info, Speed! I'm actually looking at the Daytona SS and contemplating on buying it now... Quite pricey though....

Amaradona · 11 November 2012, 12:02 AM

I am from Nagoya but will be in Tokyo next week end.
Did you find your daytona?

Gaijin · 11 November 2012, 12:28 AM

Houseki hiroba in Shibuya is the cheapest I have found. Lowest prices I have seen in Japan and nice friendly and knowledgeable staff. They also offer a 3 year warranty.

fly964 · 12 November 2012, 02:24 AM

I lived in Tokyo and now travel there a few times a year.

Shimke · 19 November 2012, 11:58 PM

I am yet to buy my Daytona... Still looking into it, wondering if I should buy it from this forum. But am contemplating on the SS black!

Shimke · 25 November 2012, 11:07 PM

Gents, I went to jackroad, rasin (in Ginza) and shibuya's houseki over the weekend as I'm thinking of trading in my sub date (2001) for the new gmt 2c. All the gmt2c's were priced at ¥540,000 and above. The guy at proud-watch in roppongi is selling it to me for ¥510,000. Not bad at all I think. Worth checking out if you're in the neighborhood.

Cheers,

KJ

Goodbye sub, hello GMT 2c!

Gaijin · 1 December 2012, 12:42 AM

Nice job Shimke! I would have made that trade to the GMT II C also in a heartbeat! My favorite SS Rolex by far.

Thank you, sir! Been wearing it for a few hours now, it feels amazing! Sits great on my wrist, feels more grand than the sub.... I absolutely love it!

Next up, Daytona SS!

Happy Friday!

So many. You are in Rolex Central in Tokyo. Do a search here. I recommend Jack Road. Houseki Hiroba and Kamekichi.

Have fun!

Next time I am up in Tokyo lets do a GTG boys with Otto. Good man.

Seen many shops around already, but just wondered if there were any decent recommendations. I've done a search, and will check out the ones Gaijin's mentioned.

またね！
