    Only in Japan (and East Asia, Malaysia, Thailand, Bali, Singapore and Dubai) can you freely wear your Rolexes and Cartiers without fear of being robbed. Your mind feels at ease in these countries/cities.

    I totaly agree with the guy about Nakano prices being more expensive than in Europe. If you are looking for a deal, it's not the place to go if you are an european. Great video as always.What camera do you guys use by the way to shoot the watch close-up?

    • @TheJapaneseFactory
      @TheJapaneseFactory  28 днів тому +1

      I think if you consider tax free (10%) and tourist discount (5% only some places), the exchange rate difference, but mainly the quality, you can get some reasonable prices. A lot of Japanese pieces are S rank or A rank e.g. near unworn or lightly used, so yes they are priced higher than EU stock but you are getting a watch almost unused. If you compared it to similar unused stock in Europe you'd find it's cheaper.
      We use a Sony ev-1, same camera for the interview and the wristroll/closeup.

      My own collection is a little different. I prefer vintage Rolex, but I also own several Grand Seiko timepieces. I own a lot of Seiko Presage (e.g., Craftsmanship series) and limited editions (e.g., SJE087J1 KSK reissue) or obscure Seiko timepieces as well.
      I like German brands but mostly own Mühle Glashutte, Sinn, and Hanhart.
      I am also collecting assorted microbrands (Farer, Trafford, Nivada Grenchen, Smiths, Pitzmann, Knot, Wise, Zelos, Selten...).
      Most recently, I have been excited about the Citizen Chronomaster with its High Accuracy Quartz, eco-drive, and perpetual calendar. As I write this, my second Chronomaster is shipping from Japan.

    Not a smart watch fan myself either. Funny how as collectors we always espouse and romanticize the history, stories, and technological wonders of mechanical timepieces and the brand itself, but yet fail and or forget to see the same arcs applies to smart watches in the realm of electronic engineering.

      Our main presenter (Yuta) Is actually half Japanese half American, and spent a lot of time in both countries, so he's bilingual in English and Japanese :) Thank you for your comment!

      I mean, Rolex make some pretty basic workhouse movements. Nothing wrong with that, but I think I agree with him, technologically, in terms of movement omegas making some big improvements while Rolex are staying largely unchanged...

      Hey, we actually don't interview people wearing smartwatches. I would estimate 80~90% of people wear no watch or a smartwatch, the remaining 10~20% I'd say about half of them decline an interview (which is fine :) ) I would still estimate wearing watches in general are more popular in JP than Sydney/Australia where I'm originally from due to popular Japanese makers such as Seiko/Casio etc advertising a lot.
      Are watches popular in your country? :)

    A mechanical watch is a piece of engineering which took sometimes hundreds of years to perfect (Seiko is nearly 200 years old). Its ''real'', because it has moving parts and therefor more like jewelry than a smart watch, which is just a chip. Are you going to leave your grand children a heritage piece of engineering which can be passed down through the family line, or an old obsolete Android? :-)

      I see, nobody should be ashamed of Seiko. They are a great brand with a long history of excellence and technological innovation. We love them on the team!

      Cost of living can be really low and it's a well paying tradesmen role. They also aren't exactly the most expensive rolex models :) but impressive nonetheless.

      Japanese people absolutely wear watches and it's one of the stronger watch markets in the world. You might like our upcoming episodes in Yokohama and Chinatown which features all Japanese wearing watches or our older episodes in nakano/Shibuya.
