Always love when you take us watch shopping, great video Austin.
And zero ads!
I did have fun. Love the shopping episodes. So many to choose from. I think I’d like the all black GMT Master
“Unless you drink the cool aid, and I take sips.” Hilarious! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I really enjoy watching your videos it’s informative, and entertaining than most watch channels. That’s coming from someone who doesn’t even own or thinking about owning one. I’ll maybe dip my toes in the cool aid someday. Other than Tokyo, Japan is such a mystery to most viewers especially from the western parts of the world. It would be nice to give us a brief description about the city, town, or district, and what they’re known for- a little culture perhaps before jumping right in-just a thought. Keep up the good work!
Lastly, I really like the pre ceramic GMT. If there’s one Rolex I’d want to own that would be it.
Thanks Christian!
@@watchsymposium When did you mallet see its last days?
"Am I in hell? Am I in heaven? What's that white light? Oh, it's an Explorer II white dial. Oh, well, I guess I'm in a preowned watch shop. Again." LOL
This is probably the best video that I´d ever seen from a Rolex enthusiast while shoping. Thank´s for your patience!!. The video along with the reference and market explanations were awesome. Thank You!.
Glad you enjoyed it - thank you!
Great video! And funny. Totally agree that Kermit mkI dial is gorgeous! And who doesn’t love a 5 digit GMT! 👍
Man... your knowledge is Brilliant! Love the vids! Keep it up!!
Love your show keep it coming …love the Kermit with the anchor and the GMT
Austin your knowledge of watches is just incredible thanks for sharing !!!!!!!
Fantastic. Beautiful delivery of info. Thanks for this.
That pre-ceramic bluesy with the purpled dial. OOH!
Go Lakers!
My favorite was the 16710 Coke GMT. Love the watch tour videos. Keep up the good work Austin!!!
Love these shopping videos in Japan.
Some seriously nice pieces. 👌👍.......thanks for the reviews, good luck in the New Year.
To be fair! The best video you have ever done Austin! Well done 👏 every rolex for ever taste! Great way to end a shit year! Keep it coming for 2021!!!!😃👏👍👌😀
Always love the shopping trips.
Keep up the shopping vlogs ... I really find them interesting and really appreciate your detailed information on each watch.... I feel it makes me a better informed watch freak... ya I said freak because I love rolex and tudor watches.. Cheers
Another great window shopping Austin
“Welcome to Watch Symposium” where’s the “I’m Austin”?
I’m crying 😭
The black bezel insert 16710 is a steal. I'm sipping that Kool-Aid too, Austin! 👍🏼
I just wish I could find my first Sub. Bought from Gauss and Sons in Gainesville, Fl in 1998. Had it a good 10 years and sold it when I moved on to another piece, would love to have it back.
34mm OP was simple and just pure class
Great selection. Interesting to see the Kermit/Hulk evolution..
Thank you so much for this! :)) have a great week ahead
I still love the two tones but to me there was 2 watches that stood out and I would buy immediately and they was the ceramic serti sub and the Turn o graph.
I'm a fan of those 40mm sea dwellers.... They're unbeknownst
Hi Austin,
I love the coke GMT.
Im obviously not the only one who thinks the white dial sky dweller looks the bollocks.
Love the videos
Baz
Some nice watches . Good content . I really like the the coke gmt
This Sea Dweller 40 mm with ceramic bezel is my wet dream !
I forgot to mention that the guy working the store was wearing one himself!
Thanks for your videos, Austin. Always nice to see whats available in Japan. Looking to buy my first Rolex. I have inherited a couple (from my grandfather and father - 1960's Oyester Royal 34mm and Bluesy Sub 2004)... Was thinking of something "modest" like the explorer (39) that I can wear everday as a below the radar watch. What are your thoughts? I currently wear a Seiko (skx007) as my everyday watch.
Thank you! That, or a modern OP with a nice dial color. 2021 will be the year of the Explorer line, so it'll be interesting to see what happens to the Explorer (and Ex. 2).
Agree on the all black 16710, holes case with solid end links what a cracking piece. I'd pick that up and grab a jubilee bracelet for it. Nice one Austin.
I wonder if the preceramic model jubilee bracelet have the SEL option like the oyster bracelet.
No, the preceramic Jubilee is hollow end link.
@@watchsymposium got it and thanks
10:17. Once you’re willing to go all-black GMT, you get a lot for your money 👍
...and after posting my last comment, I saw your “heart attack” wondering if you were in heaven or hell. That was funny!!!
I prefer all black. Never understand the Pepsi / Batman hype.
I’d say that mark 1 Kermit or the black dial GMT master 2 were my favorite. Prices weren’t too bad there
i love the new kermit with the ceramic bezel. i just love it! dont have any love for the pre ceramics for some reason
That's so funny, I'm exactly the opposite! Either way happy days Rolex is the best! Wish they could nail a Worldtimer!🌟
@@valerosagroup9698 Yes Rolex is the best at manipulating and treating people like fools. Happy days 🎉🎉🎉
@@marcocastagnetti7086 hahahaha very true, and the people love it!
I adore the vintage pepsi GMTs. Best watch there has to be the new batgirl though.....I’m lucky enough to have just picked one up from AD :D
I love these videos
I recently was at my AD and was offered a Sub s/s and a Explorer 2 S/S, l chose the EXP2 white dial, i only had, 1 choice. Everyone has the sub,
How about preluding with some more outdoor setting shots of the neighborhood and some kawaii-ko chans walking around?
I really should have - next time!
The Kermit mark I was my favorite piece too
Nice info Austin; but this video also makes it patently obvious the rampant collusion going on between the ADs and gray market resellers... I wonder how much of a kick-back the AD owners get selling all their steel models to their favorite flippers? Hell, how many of these shops are owned by the same people who own the ADs? Hmmm...
I’m still doing my homework on getting my first Rolex. I’ve narrowed it down to the Datejust or the Sub.
Both great pieces, but I'd start off with the Sub!
@@watchsymposium como 1 Rolex Resistente para minha coleção como Fasso para ter 1 dó fundo Verde dourado?
Great video....
happy new year austin. did u spot any 16233 or 16234 with factory mother of pearl dials whilst window shopping in japan?
The new BLNR will go down as the years go by and more are churned out. Nice 5 digit Coke. Really want one of those preferably SEL and holes case.
I already own an Explorer 2 Polar 40 mm. What would you recommend I buy next ? I like pre ceramic, non heavy watches preferably with solid end links and holes cases. I am thinking 14060M , Sub date pre ceramic , solid end links and holes case or a Coke, Pepsi or Black GMT but considering I already have a GMT function watch, I am leaning towards a Sub , preferably no date I think? I like the look of the pre ceramic Sea Dwellers but I think they would be too heavy for me, as they are thicker and heavier than a pre ceramic Sub ; would you know the weight difference in grams between the two ?The weight of the Explorer 2 I have is the approximately the max I would like , It’s a holes case non solid end links , I think from 1995 ( bought it from a dealer with box,but no papers). I think I could handle the weight difference from the solid end links . Looks and collectability are important to me, but comfort on wrist is number one, otherwise I have to wear it on a NATO or rubber strap and that is not the same. Nice videos mate and beautiful family, congratulations!
Right with ya on the Kermit!
I like deepsea the most, only time rolex made something different from there usuall tiny 40_42mm,it has a presence on your wrist
I was looking at Omega Seamasters on ebay the other day and at least 90% were in Japan .
Hi Austin,
I wonder why the Seadweller 40 mm pre-ceramic are so cheap since they are superior watches to the Submariner. Great video if wasn't for corona would come to pick up a GMT
Good question - the SD's are a tad thicker, but I don't think that would be the reason. The Sub is an icon, so that alone could account for it. Also, many buyers aren't as into watches as many of us, and I bet some don't know the SD even exists, or was 40mm in the past.
Can you do some videos on Omega and Seiko shopping in Tokyo?
Those are really good prices.
I have an old style warranty card with my TT Bluesy 126613LB bought at the AD in Sep 2020.
Are they too expensive for those prices?
happy new year
Austin you have to buy that Blusey one day!
Where to shop for PAtek in JApan? Movement and maintenance reliable of second hand?
Starting to see Grey market sellers charging a premium for swiss only dials. But recently saw a deal for a naked 16600 swiss for 8500 usd. Very tempting but I think I would prefer the 116600 but those are lots of $$$.
Those dealers they are destroying our hobby, unfortunately grab it before too late, grab any rolex before becoming absolutely impossible to get even older models
Does this store have a web site, or can you suggest some trusted pre-owned retailers in japan we can purchase from?
Coke please Austin. You think this will remain same price at now at 2023 thinking of picking one up in Spring. Btw Coke version with Jubilee bracelet? Any hope???
A Coke is easy, the Jubilee is harder - most are on Oysters. As for price, they start at 1,500,000 Yen (you can do the conversion into your own currency). Prices seem to have stabilized here, but that could change in the future - in which direction is anyone's guess.
These prices are great. ¥1,680,000 for a Batgirl is amazing. Ate these prices incl VAT or can a tourist even get the VAT taken off?
What's the price for a ceramic Pepsi?
I will visit Tokyo in 2021. Greetings from Singapore!
Yes, tourists don't have to pay the 10% sales tax. The price for the Pepsi is about 5 grand more!
The two tone sub bluesy is gonna look good on you
He’s tried on two tones and they just don’t look that good on him imo. I think the only piece with precious metals that would good on him is a solid rose gold GMT or an Oysterflex Yachtmaster.
I second the Kermit.
I cant believe those prices....seem steep and I've always been told that Japan is the place to get good deals
Keep in mind that if you're a tourist, you wouldn't have to pay sales tax. So you'd get 10% off the prices in this video.
Austin Daniels ...and then smuggle it back to your country!
I didn’t know there were so many variants of Rolex 🥲 so confusing, don’t even know where to start
Kermit would be my pickup from the watches shown. I regret not picking one up for 4-5000
16700 Merry Christmas and Happy New year Austin
Like the Batman🇦🇺
Is this with our without tax?
93’ Pepsi awesome
All I need to do is win the Lottery and meet up with you in Japan ( yeah like that's gonna happen mate ) ..............
Where did you get the info re the Wimbledon dial being discontinued
It was another TH-camr, so we are talking like 5th hand information.
Wow, conditions are top on most of the watch shown, not a sight of an overpolished datejust
Daytonas must be even more rare than I thought!
They had them, I just didn't get any footage...regrettably.
Even the 34mm is decent.
Heaven
No new pepsi GMT's with the jubilee bracelet Austin.
Not at this store. They are going for about 5 grand over what a BLNR does here!
hit the hulk!
Yeah but you cannot buy at AD as they sell to the fillers so a genuine buyer cannot get one. or even pay deposit
Como faço pra comprar um desse aí mandar o saite de vendas
Anyone has shopping experience on Timepeaks? it is a Japanese watch marketplace and exporter.
The new green one is being called the Starbucks
is it just me but i hate that nickname for it
@@kyle618 I didn't like the name at first either but it's really a lot different from the kermit. Kermit was 40mm with aluminum bezel, no gliding clasp different movement. I see it as a different watch that's why I've come to accept the starbucks name.
It's the Cermit.
@@TheSilvertrigger good point!
Daytona?
agree kermit way more investable
Will you speack slowly please ! Thank you So much.
No Yachties?
Problem is (opinion) "kermit' looks off style and unaesthetic. Dont y think kind of un-Rolex' vs usual industrial level style acumen.
Yet another Textbook video ! To be taken repetaedly !!!
Why is it important to have tags? Its just a piece of plastic worth 50p
Is the pricelese if the tag is the original one with the watch serial no on it. Serious watch collectors will lust over such thing especially complete set
Agreed. A true collector will want as complete set as possible.
I love me some Coke with a fat font bezel!
Lol, you and me both!
16610LV Mark 1, what a beauty but price..... yikes.
let's get sober: they are all the same and there are much better ways to invest :)
Who actually buys these as they are all terribly overpriced? Astonishing.
These Rolex Resellers must be laughing their ballocks off charging extra because it comes with a new card. Who gives a shit really?
I agree but Japanese are obsessed with details. They'll probably pay extra if the warranty card is slightly more shiny than usual lol
Swiss watches are copied all over the world,that is not OK.
