Prices have really gone up. I was in Japan April 2023. I purchased a 1994 Rolex datejust. Fluted bezel on a jubilee with diamond champagne dial. With box and papers, I paid 798,000 yen.

This is an excellent "how to shop for a watch" video.

Why don’t you put the locations you visited in the description so your viewers can visit those places too?

Great choice. White with romans plus fluted and jubilee is the perfect configuration imo. I'm on the lookout for a 116234 with same.

Have you or your friends purchased watches using creditcard? Is there a fee in doing this? We're heading to Tokyo at the end of the year and I would be planning to visit these shops to make a purchase. Thanks

Ah, and the fluted Toblerone!

With the strength of the USD, now is the time to go watch shopping in Japan.

Every man needs a ROWLECKS

I just found your channel. Your friend made a great selection! It seems slightly larger than a 36 though. I go to Japan every year and will window shop next year when I go. I’m worried I’ll find another Rolex to add to my collection. It’s addictive. I’ve never bought used before, but I’m learning a lot from your channel on what to look for.

Great choice, trying to get a blue dial would have put him over his budget. I wouldn’t be so concerned about a complete set over condition since datejust’s aren’t all that collectible. He managed to get both a complete set and great condition so he did well.

Lovely example of your amazing knowledge in this video, Austin. 👍

Great video ! Very informative as well. Thanks Austin

Great choice, white roman is one of the best dial for 16234.

White dial roman is spectacular

I really like these buyer videos Austin.👍

missed these vids

I’m partial to that machine-tuned bezel. Very “art-deco”.

Hello Austin , you put in a lot of effort to find the best watch for the allocated budget. Well done. This Rolex really looks amazing. 😊😊😊

Great looking piece!!

Very nice choice!
