Went to Oska thinking I was pickingup this and got this instead.. INCOMING! PICS!
 Went to Osaka on business and to poke around for a white gold DD II. If I could find what I wanted there at a decent price I was going to pull the trigger. I did not. In fact the only WG DD II I found withought diamonds had a stick dial (which I am not a big fan of ) and while trying it on it cut me. My left forefinger and thumb opening up the clasp. Blood everywnere, The dealer gave me a bandaid but that WG DD II for sure was not meant to be, However right next to it was this. A brand new in box with stickers on it older style Kermit LV with a metal bezel. I have seen many used ones out and about, but this one was new with stickers on it and since I was at a grey dealer it was from Sweden originally. Thank you Jocke if you had anything to do with it.  I went back to the hotel and thought it over and knew at that the price I thought that I could get them at it would not be there long.  Went back the next morning and well here are the pics. I am back in the LV club. I proudly present to you my NIB V serial number LV.  The WG DD II is going to have to wait a bit.  Oh well. Emjoy!

Bought a new puppy when I was down there too. Pet shops here don't keep the dogs there for long. There are no shelters to speak of. Once they lose their Kawaii (cuteness) factor. Well......This poor girl was 6 months old and was off the display case, destined to be put down. The first two days I went in she was 50,000 Yen. The day I was leaving she was discounted to 20,000 Yen which meant she had about a week to live. I took her home. She is a princess. Her name is Misty. So overall not a bad trip. Got some business done, got a brand new LV with stickers and a beautiful new friend. Hope you enjoyed it.

Beautiful watch but even cooler that you saved a puppy destined for bad things. Your new addition to the family is adorable (puppy not the watch).
