Rolex 16700 Box - Tokyo shop?
When I purchased my 16700 all the way back in 1996, I wasn't paying attention to what box the watch was given to me in. All these years later I now realize they gave me a 16233 box (Datejust) complete with the wrong booklet.
I happen to be currently working in Japan and will be in Tokyo in a few weeks. If memory serves, there was a shop in Nagano Broadway that had spare/used boxes available at fairly hefty prices. Does anyone else have some other suggestions for Tokyo on where I might be able to buy (or better trade) for a 16700 box? Thanks in advance! |

I don't think the boxes in Tokyo would differ from the boxes in the UK surely?

Nagano Broadway is your best bet for all things vintage Rolex in Tokyo, especially for accessories. There are several shops there you could try. It's not cheap, but nothing vintage Rolex is cheap nowadays anywhere. Still, for $250-$300 you should be able to get what you need. Usually they'll sell an entire set, with booklets.
You could also try Ebay, as long as you know exactly what you need and can spot fakes. |

Good Watch in Nakano Broadway specializes in vintage Rolex parts and accessories. It's heavenly.
