Had a very short trip to Tokyo for business, and ending up buying two beautiful watches. At first I thought Japan would not be a good place to buy Rolex since prices are generally higher than other countries, although I must say their selection is very nice..

But after consulting my Japanese friends, they took me to other parts of Tokyo (Shinjuku and Shibuya) instead of Ginza, and surprisingly prices are very reasonable

. Plus tourists are entitled to 5% Tax Free, just don't forget to bring along your passport, so prices will automatically be deducted 5%.

Photos were taken with iphone, sorry I don't have professional cameras..

Cheers everyone

I bought them New at grey watch stores, not AD. All paperwork and legitimacy checked and confirmed. I checked prices at AD in Tokyo, prices are very high, and no discounts at all
