Rolex, Castles, and Temples - Japan

[StackLexus17]

I spent this past week in Japan for business. During my time there I stayed in Nagoya and visited the cities of Osaka and Kyoto. Fortunately, my business schedule allowed time for site seeing and visits to the Rolex ADs in Nagoya.

The Japanese place a VERY high value on luxury items, such as Prada, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, and Rolex. Unfortunately, ALL of the Nagoya ADs didn't have a single SS sports model in inventory....This led me to the JP gray market.

I was able to find a gray dealer which had everything you would wan in stock. Prices are still insane though and even though the shop was duty free it still commanded major yen for any piece.

For the 1st time I was able to try on both the Black and B&W SS ceramic Daytona. Currently I'm "#3" on the waiting list for the white dial, but after seeing them side by side the black grabbed my attention a bit more.

If you had your pick of the litter for a SS ceramic Daytona which color would you choose?



As a bonus I've included some shots of Nagoya castle and Kinkaku-ji temple (Golden Temple).

Thanks for reading.
Kanpai (Cheers) guys.


TLDR : Went to JP for work. Looked at Rolexes, castles and temples.
