Austin, thank you so much for meeting with me and helping me find my first Rolex. What an adventure we had. I hope my video does our journey justice. I plan to finish production very soon with teasers being up by next week. Until we meet again my friend!
How do i meet you in tokyo ? @austin
No one better to take you Rolex shopping than Austin, the best!
That was fun! I'm happy for Festus he got a watch under budget that he truly enjoys. It's a lovely watch!
Thank you!
Great video Austin, you are so knowledgeable and passionate about this stuff, and it’s great that you can help others with your expertise.
Nice to see you back watch shopping again and posting these videos! I love this content.
Great video Austin. Your channel is one of the best watch channels on YT IMO.
Thanks Austin, what a great concept for a video! Congratulations Festus! I hope to be watch shopping in Tokyo this Summer.
A wonderful choice, well done Austin for helping him with authenticating and advising, your a star. He will do well to avoid the irritating "itch" of the two tone. Best always from 🇬🇧
i get good vibes from Festus.
Such kind words! Thank you
good to see you back on air Austin, I will be back in Tokyo last few days of Jan, lets go watch shopping
Congrats Festus. The size looks good on your wrist. I hope you enjoy the Rolex in good health. Nice video Austin.
Greetings from Detroit MI !
It’s good to have you back on Austin…
The TH-cam needs your channel’s style!
Kev…
Thanks Kevin!
Congratulations 🍾 Festus good looking watch on your wrist! And Austin, dumpster diving behind the Rolex Service Center is just classic 😆. Best regards
Thank you!
This was very interesting! As part of my job, I can occasionally travel to Asia so I'll be looking out for some great pieces like this. Excited for Festus!
They should make a Studio Gibli film about Austin and Festus' adventures in Japan.
My Neighbor Austin
What a dream that would be! Hopefully my video does our adventure justice when it drops!
@@festyvous Nice! I’ll sub to your channel now! Enjoy your Rolex bro.
Could you do one video with second hand Grand Seikos? What stores would you visit?
I'm visiting in February and also hoping to score a GS
Great wprk Austin and festus. Lovely rolex. Austin, im in tokyo in january and would love to pickup a 36mm DJ. Any tips on shops not too miss for a good deal and quality watch?
Austin, try to find the nastiest, dirtiest, grimiest, filthiest, most depraved Explorer II in Japan!
That was a super cool video and with a happy ending! Thank you 👏🏼 I learned a lot from this one as always, I have a silver 1601 that my grandfather bought at an AD in Ginza in 1969, a wedding gift for my father, which has now been passed down to me. I hope to set up an watch excursion with you the next time I am in Japan, hopefully while the dollar is still trading higher. 🤞😃
Do enjoy it,when your out and about in the shops.
I missed these kind of videos. Congrats, Festus!
Thank you!
Good shopping!
MY GOD WHAT A AWESOME JOB YOU GUYS DID ON THAT VIDEO I THINK AM GONNA GO TO JAPAN TO PICKUP UP A FEW ROLEX WATCHES GREAT PRICE THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it, Albert!
great series. thank you
I want to get a rolex explorer II in japan soon. Can you give me some tips about how to choose and how old does a rolex is considered still good to buy?
Where would be a good place in japan to buy a new or near new blue dial 41 datejust, fluted bezel and on a jubilee bracelet? What sort of prices are they going for, I'm going to try my luck at a few of the rolex botiques 🤞
Austin, if I order a watch from Japan what are the custom duties coming to the US because I see the prices on most Rolex and Tudor a couple thousand dollars cheaper .
I am looking for a Tudor Big block Chrono with the Rolex case back and Rolex Crown .
Let me know your thoughts .
In Japan I am seeing these in the 5-6k range where there are here for 8-10k .
Also could you let me know the best locations for buying in Japan .
Thanks
Thanks guys that was a lovely video 👍
Thank you!
Amazing info! Do you know when they started using 904L for the GMT-Master II?
Hey Austin, @11:15 may i know if the prices are before or after tax?, how many % is tax refund
How much was the oyster fluted bezel two tone that was above budget?
Well done sir....a good fun video
What a nice chappie Festus is!
Thank you, much appreciated!
Congratulations Festus! You chose the right person to be your Rolex guide. ❤
Thank you!
Where can I get a Rolex Day-Date 40 White Roman Dial Reference 228238 for under 40k? I’m coming to Japan in a few weeks.
Good job! Subbed!
I think TT is awesome, of course I cannot afford a solid gold.
Have a TT GMT YG and love it. They are a bargain these days. Around 6k less than a Rootbeer and it has the green GMT hand and green lettering.
6:43 beautiful watch!
HI Austin, may I ask for the location of the store, I will be in Tokyo this coming March 24. Thank you for all your post I really love them
Stunning watch.
Like these videos.
Great video and nice Festus found his watch, which suits him. Pretty shocked about Rolex RSC vacating. I don't want to be left to the mercy of department store to RSC dealings.
Austin, great video and congrats Festus.
Hopefully one day I can also meet up with you Austin to find a 5513.
Thanks Jon - and sounds good!
I went into two Rolex stores to pick up a datejust. The salesperson said she will go check. Not even 30 seconds later, she walks out of the stockroom and said they don’t have any. I’m pretty sure they would know ahead of time if they really didn’t have any. Having said that, is there a way that they would actually sell watches to normal people that actually want to own one and not flip? Any advice? I’m here for another few days and don’t feel like attempting to go into one again.
The submariner has a “frozen” dial , caused by moisture
Love the crackle look
Interesting - thanks for letting me know!
5:35 nice salmon explorer dial date there
Oh he did good thanks for helping him you’re such a cool guy Austin happy thanksgiving
Why you gotta post this a week after I left Tokyo lol… but came home with a GS!
Is it cheaper to buy something like a Pepsi GMT Master II in Japan, as opposed to buying in the US?
Those are cool!
Congrats Festus! Wear it in good health baby!
Thank you! Will do!
Do most watch shops accept credit card in Japan? Or how do you pay?
Some only cash, but credit cards too in quite a few.
99 upvotes... Alright, I'll give one.
Nice video. I think Festus will regret not getting that two tone DJ.
I think TT is awesome, of course I cannot afford a solid gold.
Have a TT GMT YG and love it. They are a bargain these days. Around 6k less than a Rootbeer and it has the green GMT hand and green lettering.
Never! I’ll just get it as my second haha
@@festyvous 😎
Hi austin update prices in japan
I thought that watch looked GREAT on his wrist! Congrats!!!
Thank you!
these 8-9K usd second hand submariners, are not cheap AT ALL
there were other ones for much less in other videos 2 years ago
Damm. japan became expensive
A Tudor isn't an option? For that price point maybe that's the best solution.
Tokyo prices are ridiculous, way higher than HK despite the Yen deprecation. Those dealers are out of touch
I think you should purchase a really nice homage and save your money!
Were these all at Moonphase? I heard Quark was ok.
The first couple were at Moonphase, before we headed to Nakano. Quark is good, but expensive.
@@watchsymposium I found a Exp 1 at Quark, 2020, full set, for same price as the cheapest on C24. So, no smoking deal but decent. I went to a couple other shops and only found lower tier pieces. I will say I just went to places right on the strip. Good info...
Looks to me he just wanted to buy the name. Not a specific type of watch. Personally I don’t get that.
I would have liked to heard the U.S. dollar value !!!
$1700~ USD
A brother named Festus !!!
In the flesh!
he should buy a Tudor.
Great video thanks that’s what I do every time I’m in Japan
Even the real ones are worth $500 max I guess?
Are these used watches, if so, why would anyone consider buying a used watch? The one that you should around 6:10 in video is a piece of crap I can’t even believe this would be a consideration to anyone?
It makes no sense for them to say running or non running. That’s just them and their skill level. Bollocks!
