World's Cheapest ROLEX Watches - thousands IN STOCK! | Tokyo Japan Rolex Tour [PART 2] 

Glad it was helpful! And thank you for commenting.

Thank you! Cheers!

You could easily buy several watches. In my part 3 video you will see I made a purchase. I think across the board the prices are 25% cheaper than US/UK/Europe.

Firstly, I’m wishing you an excellent trip to Tokyo. I know you’re going to love it, specially the sushi if you’re a sushi fan like me .. and of course the Rolex watches are over the top. OK great question regarding the Rolex Batman / Batgirl watch. Inthis video, you will see at least one of these beauties, and it was actually a Batman watch and it was listed with a tax-free price of ¥2.3 million which is about US$15,500. This was a fairly new watch probably a year or two old so this should give you an idea of the going price in Japan. This is the tax-free but I can’t speak to the price difference between the Batman and Batgirl for the different bracelet type. I suspect they’re quite similar. Perhaps you could let me know how you do once you get home from your trip as I’d love to hear how you make out there. Good luck !! .. and safe travels.

I can’t speak specifically to Cartier, but I can tell you that all of the Rolex watch shops in Nankano Broadway stock other brands as wellfor sure and you will find many nice watche. But please be aware that most of the watches on offer are used, although many are of recent years .. these are mostly used watch shops if you are only looking for brand new watches, then you’ll have to go to the Cartier dealer and I’m not sure where that is in Tokyo.

Nakano broadway has everything, best vintage in Shinjuku has a good selection of pre owned watches, and just google watch shops and you’ll find a bunch of stuff all over

This is an excellent time to go to Japan specially for Rolex watch hunting because of the Japanese recession. The Japanese yen is st a depressed level against all currencies and the local Rolex fans don’t have the budget to be soaking up all the excess inventory ..so prices are good for more than one reason.

My pleasure I’m glad you enjoyed my video. I actually can’t wait to go back to Tokyo for another visit and this time I’d also like to visit Osaka to see what they have to offer for us watch fans.

Hi I am going next week. Did you get your Rolex?

It’s a great pleasure Mike. Thank you very much for your comments. Your question is also fantastic. I have never actually checked the shop websites. I know Jack Roads has a website because they’re one of the biggest sellers but as far as the other sellers here, I just didn’t think to have a look at their website. I would say an analysis can be done to support this question.. and that could be a purpose of a future video, so I really appreciate your asking. Will put it on my to do list before I plan my next trip to Japan so I can do the comparison work.

Henry: Thank you for your kind response. About an hour ago, I sent an email to a reputable high end shop in Nagoya - asking if prices are different btw their website vs in person at the shop. Net for this watch biz, it is the same. My hunch now, it is for all shops, unless catch a sale for the day. Shops response to me : “ The prices shown in our website will be the same in our store, for payments made in cash. In case you come to our store, it is possible to pay by credit card but we would like to inform you that a 2.7~5% handling charge would occur if the payment is done by credit card. Also, for watches delivered within Japan, we will have to charge the Tax in price.”

I also plan to visit Japan nextweek to trade in my rolexes for a different watch. Good information before I go thanks ​@corvettefanatic1620

Depends

The newer ones of course are more expensive than several years old models .. but if you look at my video carefully, I think you’ll see that they’re around $15,000 USD. So they are not particularly cheaper than in the UK Europe, or the United States and Canada. Certain Rolex watch models are significantly cheaper in Japan but I don’t think the Pepsi is one of them.

Again, it would just be Nakano Broadway, which is the largest concentration of watch shops in Tokyo ..as far as I am aware.

@@WatchFanHenry Thanks Henry,will pay it a visit.

Yes, they were and the original matching warranty card.

Coming into Canada I have to declare and pay about 15 percent tax. I think they are still very reasonable and offer upside margin to investors.

The prices and availability in Europe and North America are confusing: No available watches unless you are on the inside. And secondary prices are a rip off.

Agree. Grey market sitting on tens of thousands of Rolexes at ridiculous markups (and will sit for months) because the company won’t kill off flipping out the back door of their ADs. Which they could easily do.

Unbelievable but true

I’m very confident they would buy custom watches. I see no reason why they wouldn’t. You just have to take the watch there and visit each of the dealers and see what they have to say. I’d be quite shocked if there is no Rolex dealer there that would entertain the purchase of your watch

It is called Nankano Broadway .. if you make it to Tokyo you’ll be very happy you visited this place. Please leave me a comment and let me know how you make out I’d love to hear.

My entire video was filmed at Nakano Broadway.

I am not a expert able to see if the insides of a watch are Frankenwatches or not. So for me, it comes down to purchasing from dealers that I’ve purchased from in the past. Which is what I did this time. If you’re buying a fairly new watch from a reputable dealer, I’d say chances are slim of it being a Franken watch, but like anywhere else it’s buyer beware. If you’re not comfortable with the seller it’s best not to purchase. As I’ve said in other comments, if you deal with the largest of the dealers here that have been in business for decades, risk of issues decline in my opinion.

@@WatchFanHenryCould we possibly get the names of the shops you have experience with.

My answer would be that Japan gets a disproportionate larger share of Rolex production compared to North America and Europe so the dealers there have more watches per capita, and due to the economic situation in Japan there’s less people clamoring to buy them. so the local market has a larger supply and a smaller demand ratio than in North America and Europe. This would be my guess. It also helps matters that the Japanese Yen is at historic Lows.

All these shops are at the Nankano Broadway complex. Just google it, and you’ll easily find it..

If you view my video, you’ll see exactly where I purchased my watch and that’s a place that I like doing business with. But you can walk around Nakano Broadway yourself .. look at the watches that are available .. and know that most of these stores have been in business for a very long time. So I’d say it’s kind of a question of availability and your own feel of comfort level with each store.

If you read the comments, I’ve provided details on this.

This is also the same price for vintage Rolex Submariners as well. It’s a question of supply and demand .. the Japanese have probably imported more Rolex watches over the past 60 years than Europe and the UK combined .. and Japan is in a recession, so there’s not a lot of cash floating around their economy at present. There’s no point in buying a Rolex in the UK, North America, or Europe if you’re heading to Japan, unless you’ve got money to flush down the toilet, this is my personal opinion.

I have never been to the watch shops in Singapore and was last in that country in the late 90s .. so I’m due back for a visit. Thanks for your comment as that motivates me to get back there sooner than later as I’m very curious to see what the watch shops have on offer in comparison to the Japanese Rolex offerings presented here in. I very much appreciate your comment and hope you might subscribe to my channel if you haven’t already done so.

I have been to SG many times. Japan is definitely has better price.

@@techfun1400 u can check out websites … market these days are very transparent

Please see my response to numerous other people that asked the same question over and over again … it’s here lots of times.

I’ve actually answered this question quite a few times in the comments here.

I’m Canadian so I can only speak to tax and duties bringing into Canada. Here in Canada you’re going to pay 5% GST plus provincial tax which can vary from zero percent in Alberta to several percent in other Provinces.

99 percent of the people watching this video are North American, from the Uk and European. Our culture is not the same as the Japanese. It is my belief that the Japanese culture does not support a mindset of cheating people or buying fakes. It is not in their DNA. If you drop a $100 bill in the Tokyo metro, people will clammer over each other in a race to be the first to return it to you. I have great comfort buying Rolex watches in Japan, and of course you are very free to view it differently. That’s what makes this world interesting. We can freely engage in meaningful debate, and can politely have different views. Other people are welcome to jump in too here.

I’m with you. Not worth the risk. You’re still a foreigner and would have no recourse. And except for a few pieces the grey market is as silly there as back home. The JPN economy is in the tank and prices still not coming down.

@@WatchFanHenry Well said. I have bought 5 watches form Japan (seiko, longines, omega). Never had any issues about authenticity of the watches.

The way they only offer their watches through AD networks to select people is most certainly a joke, and bad for the brand.

If you watch my video I very clearly state this is Nakano Broadway in Tokyo ... and I fully explain what it is. Its all there if you watch carefully. Or google Nakano Broadway. I have no idea what the street name is in Tokyo of this place, sorry about that.

@@WatchFanHenry well, then i can only apologize, really sorry… i watched a few times, but didn‘t get the street name or anything of that sort. my daughter‘s over there on vacation with her boyfriend, but i managed to get her to mizutani‘s, and today she bought a nice vintage omega de ville from the sixty‘s, so thank you for all your nice videos! unfortunately i can’t afford a rolex or a tudor, the servicing is too expensive for me also, i‘ll have to stick to more affordable watches. and my dream is a jaeger memovox from the sixtie‘s, had it and it got stolen, so one day again… again, sorry if i came across a bit too emotional 🙏🏼

It is called Kamekichi and this is the second watch I’ve purchased from them. I’ll probably buy a third piece when I visit again later this year. I hope, if I can get my savings in order!
