Check Reddit, there are some threads on how to buy in Japan. Some of the large department stores offer discounts for tourists and/or using a credit card. They have large watch boutiques in their stores. Between that and a good exchange rate early in the year I got a decent deal on a GS Snowflake.

no I bought mine there

Is it a good place to buy watches?

Well it depends on what you are interested in and where you go. It has to be the best place in the world for Seikos and Grand Seikos with wide selection of models including limited editions. Also other Japanese brands. I wasn’t looking for them but ran across plenty of used or grey Rolexes and there are plenty of brand boutiques and stores like the Wako store with luxury Swiss watches.

Could you just buy it and wear it through the airport or put it in your suitcase with a watch roll? And ask them to ship the watch boxes / manuals to your house. I’ve done that while on vacation before.

I just wear them in. No issues

Brand new to the bowl. Looking at getting my fiancé his first nicer watch as wedding gift when we get married next year. I’m trying to stick around $7k, but would go to $10k.

Super beautiful watch, just thinking it’s a bit flashy for me.
