At a grey dealer. Crazy thing is, I will maybe go back in a week or two and they will be sold for sure.

Mikehii · 23 September 2015, 11:20 PM

They looked so fine

Old Expat Beast · 23 September 2015, 11:21 PM

Wow...even with the weak yen those are some insane prices.

Gaijin · 23 September 2015, 11:22 PM

Used 3186 GMT II M serial number $16,566. Used Y Serial number LV not original green hang tag, $14,066. Used Y serial number LV original green hang tag $14,900. Shocking.

Wow... it's making me feel like I got a pretty good deal on my 116719!

WWC · 23 September 2015, 11:27 PM

Funny thing is there's always gonna be someone who's gonna fork that much for them

Gaijin · 23 September 2015, 11:28 PM

A few years from now we might be thinking that this was cheap...

You know what they say Adam a fool and his money is soon gone.

Mezz72 · 24 September 2015, 12:57 AM

the Pepsi is a bnib if I understand some of the Chinese words used to describe that piece.

Rolextraderflorida · 24 September 2015, 01:12 AM

beautiful watches, but wow.

datejust24 · 24 September 2015, 01:19 AM

So I guess my main question is why in sam hell would anyone pay that kind of price for a used LV? These prices just don't make sense in the slightest...well said Peter...absolutely foolish.

BuddaLun · 24 September 2015, 01:21 AM

This is quite often the case with the Japanese market. Look at the markup on American made goods such as Alden shoes or Redwing shoes in Japan, pretty shocking.

Hell Redwing boots are expensive here in the States...Whats the going rate in Japan?

s14roller · 24 September 2015, 01:35 AM

Any higher for the Pepsi and you might as well go WG

Let's just put it this way. I always buy a pair when I am back home. 2 to 3 to 4 times more here depending on the model.

DOUBLE 0 SE7EN · 24 September 2015, 01:57 AM

I am really surprised because I usualy buy my watches from Quark Osaka.. And they always have reasonable prices.. For example I bought my hulk for 7600 usd.. And also took some tax back.. So this is really surprising..It looks like those price tags are for another gold or vintage watches and they mixed them up..

So if you are about to buy a rolex from japan I strongly recommend you to try Quark Osaka especially the one at Shinsiabashi..

Jason71 · 24 September 2015, 02:09 AM

You just blew my mind.

sco · 24 September 2015, 02:32 AM

Assuming they all would need a service on top!

You can go the other way with denim.

Thanks. Without ^ is was like reading Japanese to me

evlkoala · 24 September 2015, 04:05 AM

crazy, even with their weaker currency, it's still better for the Japanese to buy it here

00Seven · 24 September 2015, 04:13 AM

Wow - that's nuts!

TheRolexKingofLV · 24 September 2015, 05:09 AM

You can call it what you like! Hype, nuts, whatever!? Look at the documented history. I've been reading for 5 years on various forums, including here on TRF, about the 3186 "internet hype", and all I see and hear is negative comments from the experts, while time, and prices passed you by! Buying those 3186s 5 years ago would have brought you a handsome return on your investment. How many Rolex watches in today's market can that be said for, that are fetching nearly double MSRP!? Like it or not, numbers don't lie! And one thing is for sure...."them haters, they guna hate!"

That is crazy. Thanks for the info.

Porsche · 24 September 2015, 09:12 AM

Ouch! Converted to our (lousy) Aussie $23,625... makes buying locally here in Australia look cheap! Our AU$ was nearly parity with $US not so long ago, now it's tanked badly.
