Coming to Tokyo, Japan and Leaving with an Instant Two-piece Watch Collection

[@Nockwolves]

Mr. R here! Thanks for all the help Austin! It was a blast!! I’ve been wearing the 2 pieces on my travels in Japan and both are amazing pieces. Thanks to all the other viewers and their nice comments! Austin rocks 😊

[@fullymechanical9055]

I always sneak them into the house. Great advice there Austin. As long as bills are paid, there will be tick tock😊

[@ryantan5963]

Well equipped to double wrist indeed😂, good for ya R and thanks for helping him, Austin. 👍🏻

I bought my first nice watch a few months ago and its a speed master pro. Great classic watch. Can dress it up or down very comfortable. Fantastic movement and accuracy.

[@GrumblingForesight]

Enjoyed the video a lot. The idea of couple off to making their own histories with these watches is just awesome. Cool watch choices too. Had a BB Pro for about half a year and that little guy was doing 0.1s/day average over a couple of months, amazing movement inside. Like you said, never had any worries wearing my Tudor anywhere.

[@MichaelRimmer-qx8jp]

A fantastic two watch collection and a great story.

[@robbielockstock]

Love my bb pro , congrats with the watches.

[@watchsymposium]

I'm getting more and more tempted by some of the modern Tudors.

[@eric106071]

​@@watchsymposium do you like the bb54?

[@awristology1]

What a wonderful story and beautiful memories. A fine two piece collection and quite an upgrade from that Timex!

[@byergo]

One of your best Austin! Watch buying tourism at its best. Me next ?

[@erwindizon610]

Hi Austin, I am from Manila, Philippines. I was in Osaka last week and I accidentally dropped by Don Quijote Department Store in Shinsaibashi Shopping District and I was able to acquire a new Omega Speedmaster Hesalite for Y740,000 or roughly around $4920.00. Plenty of discount. Am just lucky because it is the last piece in the store.

[@omar10213245]

Good stuff, Austin.

[@clarencekwong888]

Great grand father story and happy he got one! Thanks for the content Austin! Is Nakano Broadway a good are to look for preowned Patek and Vacheron?

[@watchsymposium]

Yes, they do. But I'm not sure how competitive the prices are on those 2 brands.

[@structurescience]

What a nice chap.

[@GentlemanMasterclass]

I wish I had known. I would have sold him my Speedmaster with box (no papers). I’m trying to upgrade to a sapphire sandwich or new white lacquer dial Speedy.

[@alohaguchis]

See you in a few weeks Austin!

[@chenchina4577]

Brah, you no like buy from David at Honolulu Time Co?

[@roadsterj]

I'll be on the hunt for a Tudor BB Pro from now till my trip to Japan in December. Which store did you help Mr. R find the Pro, if you don't mind sharing..? Thanks Austin!

[@eugenevedensky6071]

Hey currently in Japan, can't find a used Black Bay 54 at all, any recommendations on where to look?

[@follow_therhythm]

Hi Austin! I am on the hunt for the particular Japanese market only Seiko model (produced in mid 90s), are there any specific online platforms you can recommend to look for? Or perhaps you can share some info how and where to look for a specific used watch in Japan? Many-many thanks in advance and warm greetings from London!

[@roadsterj]

Chrono24 app, if you didn't know already.

[@supervaro95]

Hi sir, could you tell us the name of the stores where you found such pieces? Looks amazing!

[@maikvdz251]

Just out of curiosity. Whats your cut in these finds?

[@watchsymposium]

I don't get a cut or a commission from any shop.

[@maikvdz251]

@@watchsymposium I was thinking you probably get quite some requests for this. I mean I would love to have your help in Japan. I would totally understand if you ask a fee for your expertise Austin.

[@chenchina4577]

The guy seemed super cool. The antithesis of a "watch nerd"...he wasn't too nit picky...knew what he wanted....and BOUGHT them!! So tired of seeing videos of guys running around kicking tires of dozens of watches, obsessing over superficial details, whining about prices and then going away with nothing because of silly little trivial reasons.

[@kevinc1001]

That’s funny always heard Timex was respected in the Watch community? I guess I heard wrong.

[@watchsymposium]

Nah, they're respectable. I've got a Timex Q, myself...which, at the moment is a paperweight until I can get a new battery!

[@kevinc1001]

@@watchsymposiumLOL gotcha.

[@jezg084]

Killer 2 watch collection. Wear them and enjoy them and don't think about it again.
