Otto, Tokyo and Rolex. Great Day!

[Gaijin]

Last Friday up to Tokyo for business, pleasure and a mandatory finally meet up with my senpai ( senior respected colleague ) Otto!

Met up with him in Shinjuku and then on a guided tour of the Rolex paradise that Tokyo is with no better man than Otto to show us around.

Hit I want to say 4 Rolex shops. 3 grey dealers with amazing selections ( and prices ) and the Rolex boutique in the Ginza. Sold my GMT II C that I wanted to sell for a decent price and tried on a bunch of watches. Almost pulled the trigger on a few that really caught my eye. A full package F serial faded bezel LV Sub. About $5,000 US. What a steal. A closer look revealed a hole like almost a rust hole right near the pearl on the bezel. The salesperson admitted as much that that is why the low price. I passed. My girl loved the diamond dial Datejust II.

At the boutique where the prices were insane we all tried on the Platinum Day Date II with the blue Roman concentric dial. Oh my! Like weight lifting training with a watch on. Man that felt so great on your wrist and just stunning.

Then off to the Saporro Beer Hall in the Ginza for what else... some Saporro Beer!

I did not want to say goodbye to Otto. Definitely made myself a new great friend. Thanks Otto for your hospitality. I hope to repay it some day!

Yes I do have pics. Having one heck of a time loading them on to here. Please be patient with me.
