  • Checking out a small branch shop (Ippukushi watch shop) in the area of Shinjuku in Tokyo, Japan. There are Rolex, Omega, Tudor, and Grand Seiko watches in this video. The higher price is with tax, the lower price is without (tourists don't have to pay taxes). Enjoy!

    I think everyone in comment section is right - the first watch looks to be a Hulk and not a Kermit. That looks like a ceramic bezel after all.

      It’s neither a Kermit nor Hulk.
      It’s a Sub Date with a green bezel.
      A Hulk would have had a green dial. This one looks black.

      @sanjivrpatel 5 років тому

      Looking again, green is just about visible, so my bad it is a Hulk!

    Really interesting how nondate preceramics are worth more than date ones; the 14060m in the vid without box or papers is worth more than the 16610 with box and papers. I guess purity and rarity wins in the long run. Awesome vid!

      Yea, I went to the Rolex boutique in Orlando and they had practically nothing but women’s datejusts and men’s 36 mm datejusts. But one of the 41mm datejusts that they had was the Wimbledon 2 tone, I was surprised cause it looked way more impressive in person than it does in pictures

    Thanks, love these vids! It's always cool to see prices around the world. For me the one that stuck out was the vintage no date sub...about 11k and it looked clean, not bad. Other sport rolexes were priced as badly as the USA, but some deals mixed in for sure.

    Hi Austin, love the videos. Question, when shopping in Tokyo from non ADs, can you negotiate? Is it appropriate? If so, what kind of discount would you push for?

    • @watchsymposium
      @watchsymposium  5 років тому +1

      It's not really a bargaining culture, but I still always try. I've managed to get a few hundred dollars off some pieces. The last GMT that I got, they wouldn't budge because it was already priced pretty low. It really depends on the model. Rolex watches are hot, so they really don't need to go lower - they'll sell if you don't buy it. Other brands, you'll have more of a chance. But, again, I've never managed to get more than 200 USD off a price.
