Your Videos are great man thx. These are very informative and takes the presser off of people going to look at used watches.

I think Omega make some really fantastic watches and you gotta buy them either pre owned or grey market or at a nice discount for it to be a decent deal. Omegas are for people that just want a really nice watch, not as an investment.

Corrrr! That was Your finest half hour, so many moments had to be paused,,, ooh-yeeh. Unreal, part two to look forward to too. Beauty AD.

I still enjoy these watch shopping videos and also noting the changed prices nowadays.

Hi Austin - you are looking sharp! I love these shopping videos, I pause and look at the prices. Thanks for the cool content.

Great job Austin. I always enjoy these watch shopping videos. Thanks for bringing us along. A lot of nice watches.

thats a lot of stunners in 1 vid

thanks for this. better than premium cable any day

Love the video. And the shirt. New subscriber from Hawaii.

good job wih the shirt and sweet GMT 2

Way Way Awesome👏🏻!

Thanks for taking the time to do this window shopping. Love seeing what’s available.👍🏼

My pick, the no date Submariner, unpolished. Well priced.

I find the Oyster Perpetual looks better with the green dots in my opinion. Adds something to the look, but i can see how it could easily turn someone off.

Do you think swiss only dials are collectible?

my choice for that shop would be 16570 & 14060M & 116400GV/non GV. They were all priced quite decently. The further u get away from tokyo, the better the price are, haha

My pic would be the Bluesy Sub. If the Rhodium Dial Yachtie had box and papers, then that.

Great video. Love seeing the food and the drink. That green box with the wooden insert was nice.What was the problem with it? Cheers.

Thanks! There was no problem with the box at exactly 26:42 (bottom left of screen) - period correct, and the pillow insert, which is how the sports models came. That's the one I got.

Nice watches

More watch shopping videos please 🙏🙏🙏

That’s great they let you film........a lot of places won’t. I personally like those old 34mm Air Kings.

Also would you mind to put the list of the used watch stores you visited and their addresses. Will visit them

Austin a question please . Looking at buying a diver , what would you buy . The new Seadweller 43mm gold & steel or the new James Cameron 44mm ? Thanks in advance & great Vids .

At 6:41 (how do you guys do the hyperlink!?), how much was that JLC Squadra? It looks like it's gone down from RRP over 2MM yen to 1.3MM yen in market price?Yep, I'm a Squadra World Chronograph owner too - being overhauled but was thinking of ditching and funding another Rolex. I didn't pay a crazy 2MM yen though, but if it's gone down in value, then may as well keep it. P.S. The girl at 33:53 is eyeing you :D.

Going to Japan this week for work. I sure hope the prices hasnt changed since this video was shot.... oh well.

Unfortunately, prices have changed quite a bit since this video was shot. But the good thing is that the Yen is pretty weak, so then exchange rate should be in your favor.

Great video. That curry place is a must visit for lunch for sure. Also the Alex shop is interesting. So many watch shops! I've never seen that Tudor before. Make a good Summer watch.

You going into the swatch store made me think, why don't you film some low end JDM only stuff? Like the casio oceanus line actually being sold retail, or an orient prestige shop , or any of the stores selling weird japanese pieces from the 90s on zenmarket. People obviously eat this up for rolex, and the only competition for lower end japanese showcase stuff is from gshockhighfashion, which he only did sparsely years ago (obviously only covering gshock). Just something to think about, not seeing many watch channel guys that live in japan and speak english, capitalize.

Great video👍. Thanks for the USD prices. You rock!

You're so lucky just go out and do some Rolex parafernalia shopping. I love Japan 🇯🇵.

Austin- please bring me up to speed. Why do you keep on saying "Swiss only" dial? Rolex still has their manufacturing facilities in Switzerland. Are you referring to different dials for Asian export? I'm in Florida, so no idea about that. Please expand. Thanks! Subscribed and liked. Cheers.

Having my breakfast while watching this... and wearing my G-Shock JDM

Thank you for these videos. Recently I’ve became really interested in watches including the histories of various brands and the technologies. Maybe because I’m nearing my 40s and it’s a sign that I’m getting old? Haha. Anyway I’d like to pick up a Rolex one of these days. I was going to pick up an Omega speedmaster professional the last time I was in Thailand for vacation but God has other plans for me and forced me to board my flight 30 minutes early unexpectedly while just going to pay for the watch while at the duty free airport shop. Should’ve seen the sad face of the clerk. Anyway thanks again for the videos. I’ve been to Japan last year and I loved my time there. Will go back again soon.

“No comment” on Hublot hahahahaha

The old platinum dial YMs have the old style bracelet and clasp. They just don't live up to the current version craftsmanship and since they don't have a collectable nature the vintage versions are priced much lower.

You definately could have been one of Magnum's side kicks like Rick, TJ and Higgans. Good vid AD.

I don't know. But that's a hard question; there're so many factors: condition, what generation Kermit, flat (fat) four or not, who's selling it. But if I were getting one, it would be as an investment/collection piece, and I wouldn't consider one without papers.

I believe that not caring about the value now, later or in the past is part of being a true collector. I am not a fan of how these timepieces are now seen as "investments". You are a collector if you love what you own and you care about not only the material value of something but the story as well and history.

@watchsymposium

I don't see how ignoring the factor of value, or how your pieces will fare in the future, makes you any more or less of a collector. It's just one dynamic of collecting.

@@watchsymposium It is a dynamic of collecting and you are right in that considering such a factor is part of some collectors. I do not believe that it should be the primary or driving factor though. We all have our collecting journeys but for who I have seen as collectors, I do not think the investment or dollar value longterm made them the collector they are now.
