surprised but glad you said "probably would go for a reduced".... Apparently these are on the rising side now....(is this good english???? :-p) Fan of your vids
Hi Austin.... Your videos are fun to watch. Thank you for the effort and your time. I am a musician myself (assuming from your fingers... which string instrument?) in Sendai, searching for my grailW TPelagos. Can not find any here in North.
Thanks for watching! Yes, you caught the callouses - acoustic guitar. The Pelagos isn't too hard to come by here. It's probably one of my favorite modern Tudors.
@@watchsymposium wishing you all the best and many nice notes. I went to see it Yesterday in person and was disappointed with how thick it was. It looks like I will stick with my NTH Nacken, and flip my money on some nice OMEGA> Pelagos stays one of my favorite designs yet, I hope they will remake it one day.
Hi Austin, you made those absolute pitch videos, right? I couldn't comment on them but I started my son on your videos at around 3 months and he is now almost 20 months and starting to show that he is recognizing notes! Thank you so much for those videos!!!
Oh man! Yes - thanks! I'm glad it's working! My younger daughter is still hit or miss with them (I'm a little concerned, because my older daughter had it nailed by the time she was the same age.). But continue, I do, as I feel that it'll gel in time. My older daughter was much more verbal, and I've wondered if that's related to it.
Hi Austin, just to update my son is 4 now and I slacked on the videos for a year when he was 3 because he had perfect pitch. He got a bit rusty but when I started up again he is back to being able to identify every note. Thank you again! I have just started with my second son who is 5 months old now. I recommend your videos to everyone I know who has a baby. They are amazing, life changing videos
Hi I know it is rolex, but any chance you can do a second market for other brands like omega even seiko ? Thanks bro.....we are waiting the covid to be over to come to Japan again.
Funnily enough, I had my phone in my other hand, and was so intent on getting footage of the watch that I don't even remember turning it. But it's a unidirectional friction bezel with no clicks...functional, but no where nearly as satisfying as a Sub or GMT.
@@ivankerr3570 serious .. across the world there are shops full of rolexes .. are they really that scarce ... the only thing that is scarce is to get them from an AD before they are sold to flippers ..
Only asking because I just got a new 41mm Black Submariner from my AD. Next to each other in the watch box they look so alike. Thinking of letting the GMT go and getting a new gold and steel GMT.
Heard the recording of a female voice talking about watches and cosmetics in Mandarin. That's why your prices are so high: The Chicom buyers are cashed up but always ask for big discounts.
3:30 I have to disagree : that price is a steal, it equals to 3362USD and only 2700euros. You cant really find that good deals even from chrono24. Used 3570.50 go around 4300usd, 3500euros. But this is just my opinion.
It would greatly enhance your presentation to have at least one or two of the prices "translated" into USD. Then the viewer can better understand the price structure.
The whole world is now like North Korea, no international flights; Rolex AD sells Rolex display only, you need to queue to buy Rolex. The secondary Rolex price inflation

The AD downtown San Francisco had an all-steel Yachtmaster II on display. I like the old-hand version better; more legible. Sadly the white dial makes an already big watch even louder-no one can miss it on your wrist. But the mixture of red, white and blue colors are just superbe. For $18K MSRP, you get a no-date watch.
Obviously I can't vouch for every shop and every piece, but it's not something you realistically have to worry about. Especially the second shop in this video. They're a dedicated watch shop, know what they're doing, and would never knowing sell a fake.

what a waste of time and money. you come to Japan and buy Rolex?? rolex is overrated. buy Seiko. Seiko is Made in Japan. Seiko is better quality than rolex. we Nepalese love Seiko and Japan. namaste from Nepal where Lord Buddha was born.
I love these Rolex Shopping videos.
Love your videos and commentary. Looking forward to go to Japan next year to pick up a grail submariner. Regards from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Great video Austin. I agree with you that the pick of the litter was that.Coke, what a beautiful watch.
He is Archie disciple and chosen the right way; the only way: Rolex the enigma
Quite liked the white dial Turn-o-graph there..
Was my favorite as well - I would kill for one if it was 39mm
vintage datejusts are a thing of beauty
Love that Sea Dweller, I’m wearing mine as I’m viewing you’re video. Without box and papers......Z Serial number that’s a decent price.
I really liked that date just with the engine turned bezel
Thank you for these videos. I’m doing my homework looking for my first Rolex
Really liked the Black Black Black GMT Master II LN - lol almost jumped on a plane
Maybe prices are so high because they expect you to haggle a little bit just a thought as it’s a private owned store 🤷🏻♂️ great vid bro
Great Video. They all look so addicting.........
Love these videos so much!!!!
Love these videos
I really love the pre-ceramic Daytona black dial. Looks even better than the ceramic.
The GMT Coke and platinum Yachtmaster were my favorites.

They also did a grey dial in the TOG. Nice insight .
Great prices, specially that Coke:-) If I was in Japan would certainly not walk out of the store empty-handed. Forget Crono24:-((
The 34mm OP Date is a pure gem
Hi I know it is rolex, but any chance you can do a second market for other brands like omega even seiko ? Thanks bro.....we are waiting the covid to be over to come to Japan again.
セキネ had some great prices, 116710ln, 116400 n 14270 were my fav. 16710 too. But i think sg may have better prices for gmt master ii ceramics
really miss those days before 2010 when grey dealers sold new steel pieces below rrp😥
Do you ever see Minase? I would fly there to buy one.
Nice video!
Austin, how big is your wrist? Turn-o-graph fits perfectly on your wrist!! Really like it!
Mine's 17.5 cm, so 36mm watches look just about perfect on me.
Hi Austin , when’s your Live show ? ✌🏼
It'll happen soon. I'll try to announce something shortly.
hey Austin. Are there any stores that now accept BTC as the payment method?
Sorry, I don't know.
Wow that 116710LN black gmt!! Wish I was there In japan to buy that watch
Austin, how was the bezel action of the TOG? Similar to a sub?
Funnily enough, I had my phone in my other hand, and was so intent on getting footage of the watch that I don't even remember turning it. But it's a unidirectional friction bezel with no clicks...functional, but no where nearly as satisfying as a Sub or GMT.
@@watchsymposium Ah, that’s disappointing to hear that it’s a friction bezel. Thanks for the reply!
does these shops offers polishing services to make it look like bnew? thanks
They do, but I'd think twice about having a 3rd party polish your watch.
is that cokes price reasonable ?
i dont understand how rolex prices keep going up .. when there are so many for sale
Are you serious or just stupid
@@ivankerr3570 serious .. across the world there are shops full of rolexes .. are they really that scarce ... the only thing that is scarce is to get them from an AD before they are sold to flippers ..
It's not about prices increasing but value of money decreasing
I have a Black G code GMT in excellent condition. Do you see it going up in price.
Absolutely!
Only asking because I just got a new 41mm Black Submariner from my AD. Next to each other in the watch box they look so alike. Thinking of letting the GMT go and getting a new gold and steel GMT.
@@robertsullivan4773 let me know if you want to let it go, if you’re in the UK, I’ll take it straight away
@@DanielB288 nice to know but not in the UK. I'll probably wait until after the holidays before I decide anything.
@@robertsullivan4773 where are you based? If you were to let it go, what price? I don’t mind travelling
What were you alluding to about the Mother of Pearl at 8:05?
It's related to this video: th-cam.com/video/mPZznJEvgyU/w-d-xo.html
(Anyway, I'm still waiting for RSC to call.)
Heard the recording of a female voice talking about watches and cosmetics in Mandarin. That's why your prices are so high: The Chicom buyers are cashed up but always ask for big discounts.
Hey Austin, what did you mean by your comment on “pinching links”?
I mean taking a link or two off a bracelet to sell separately.
3:30 I have to disagree : that price is a steal, it equals to 3362USD and only 2700euros. You cant really find that good deals even from chrono24. Used 3570.50 go around 4300usd, 3500euros. But this is just my opinion.
are the prices tax included?
the price for that GMT was insane!!
1655. Would love to see one in the metal.
Pre ceramic rolex prices is starting to get prohibited 🙁😿😿😿😿😿💔 very sad
We are living in North Korea...
It would greatly enhance your presentation to have at least one or two of the prices "translated" into USD. Then the viewer can better understand the price structure.
Thanks - I'm always concerned about changing rates that'll outdate the figures, as well as the idea of catering to a specific currency.
@@watchsymposium I don't expect the figures to be legally binding, just enough to give me a better idea of what you consider to be "a great price".
It’s pretty easy at the moment, you just take off the two last 0s and subtract 2-300.
GMT coke looks dope

can i buy rolex in usd in japan?
You'd have to change your money to Yen first.
@@watchsymposium thank u..love your channel..
Does this shop have tax free?
Yes, for tourists who have the passport with them
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Japan prices for Rolex are still pretty high versus other parts of Asia it seems. If you want to get some price reference, let me know.
Thanks D Y - I appreciate that!
