Six Storeys of Gen Watches - Excellent AD in Japan

[cornerstone]

If you're ever working in Japan, 'Best' watches in Shinjuku, Tokyo is excellent.

It has six storeys of gen watches: absolutely fantastic. If Perfect Clones was a shop, it would look like this

Practically a smaller version of lanikai's home in fact

Excellent shop: I much preferred it to Tourneau and the like.

It had a $200k Breguet in there, which to be honest didn't tickle me. Since the only person that has EVER commented on a watch I was wearing was to ask if I was visually impaired (Railmaster XL), there must only be a dozen people in the world that could pick out a 200k Breguet. And none of them are hot.

The pick for me was the new Ploprof - that was the first time I'd seen it.

It's amazing how 'familiar' you get with all the watches - handling a seconds at six worrying about the movement and the like. Picking up another and wondering if Ziggy could improve it, or whether a touch of the ol' Chieftang AR might give it a lift.

Old habits die hard.

They also have a used watch store a couple of shops down - probably better for trading in than buying.

The main store was doing a brisk trade too.

At any rate, if you're in Tokyo and need a break from the love hotels and getting lost in train stations, this store is worth checking out.

Sounds awesome. Thanks for the tip. I'll have to pop in there next time I'm in JP.

I doubt I'll be in Japan anytime soon, but thanks for the tip. I wonder how much commission they would get off that 200k watch?

everyone, Toyko is 'the' best place to visit.
