    Great video Auston. I just picked up a 16700 T serial with box & papers in Tokyo last week for 1,550,000 yen ($10,500 USD). Great prices in Japan right now….

    The greatest watch UA-camr… good to see you, Austin.
    My first Rolex was actually the opposite experience… bought the 116710ln gmt in 2010 when big watches were still in and felt that the GMT was quite underwhelming relative to my breitling navitimer. Fast forward to 2021 when I got the call for the Batman… that was a really great experience given the demand and market conditions….

      Congratulations. I could have got a Batman but I was holding out for a Hulk Sub and then Rolex discontinued after I wetted almost two years for my AD to get it. Then my AD offered me a to good to be true deal on a no date sub and had a miscommunication with a newer employee and sold it to someone else.
      Dealing with Rolex A.D.’s is one of the biggest jokes of my life.

    Remember my first, 214270 (Mk I dial) there is nothing like the feeling of disbelief of looking down and seeing that watch on your wrist!

    Love your video’s which I’ve been binge watching in advance of my first Japan trip.
    Regarding the 14060 from the early 90’s; almost all I’ve seen have narrow 4s rather than the flat/fat 4s that the later 90’s versions have. Could it be that they changed from skinny to fat somewhere mid-90s?

    Even with import duty ans VAT, Japanese Submariners appear ro be a better deal/and sellection than here in the UK.

    You have the best videos. I have an 114060 and I have certainly considered a 14060 but am now on the hunt for a 16610 from 1992. If you have any recommendations for dealers, I’d love to hear it. Thanks for the informative content.

    Maybe ending the 10% tax free on top of the USD/JPY exchange is a good thing. It'll save me tons on my next Japan trip!

    Thanks for this Video Austin. At this time, japan is the rallying point for first buyers (rolex)
    Question.

    I was in Japan in the spring and couldn't see any price advantage there at all even with the tax rebate. Agreed we were only there a week and as first time I wasn't aware of where to go but overall from what I saw it isn't cheaper to buy watches there. Even GS which surprised me more.
