I learn a lot from your videos Austin especially Rolex vintage pieces and you are very knowledgable about them 😁 cheers and continue with the beautiful contents 👍👍👍
I think my heart races just a little bit more for the vintage Rolex GMT watches. Especially the Coke Bezel models.
What an amazing collection in the windows.
Thanks so much for going to the trouble to give such a great overall review of what you are filming. It's a great break from lockdown fatigue being able to enjoy them.
Want one of those Coke GMT'S myself.
This is really something! More Rolex sports models than I've ever seen in awhile and all.for sale. But this isn't an AD, is it? So, these models will all be at a premium, whether new or preworn.
Austin just carrying on like there aint no virus...Ballin.
Thanks for the quality content , always educational and entertaining 🤓
Every time I see Austin's video, Japan is Rolex heaven and there is certainly no shortage to new to vintage. Once again thumbs UP!!! 5 stars all around!
Thanks David - much appreciated!
Love the content man... I can watch this all day. I'd like to see more datejust models since they're entry level for me
Austin great content as always keep up the great work
Good stuff as always Austin. Thanks for sharing & stay safe...
Thanks! Simple and fun to walk along with you.
Seems like Japan is a fantastic place for watches.. Awesome videos Austin, keep it going
Your videos are getting better... really enjoy the archee references
Thank you for you hard work .Be safe Austin.
Another quality vid Austin, thanks. Favourite... There was a 2018 white gold black ceramic Daytona in the first shop, on an oysterflex. What a nice piece.
I LOVE THE GMT videos....has to be my favorite!!!!Thanks again!!
Your videos are helping with this lockdown. 🙌
Life is simple, new Austin video? Instant watch.
Keep it going.... I have been enjoying your videos here in Singapore... 😆
I love all your Watch videos.
Excellent as always. Thank you.
By the way am I a huge fan of your blog!!!
Amazing that place was stocked with all those models, which still rare to find...
I can’t believe the amount of inventory at this place. There’s nothing like it where I’m at in California
Now we know why there are no Rolex available, they're all in this shop.
Those prices though! Way high. That’s why they sit there. Sad and wristless
I want a bluesy so bad. 😩 Wow spectacular, Austin👍🏼
Another great watch shopping video Austin. Thanks as always.
Thanks BB - nice catching you on The Pontiff's live stream the other day!
Thanks Austin it was fun. Looking forward to your next livestream.
I feel stupid. I checked Paul Pluta’s channel and Archieluxury channel, and can’t find any live streams. Do I have the wrong channel or are the videos deleted after live broadcast? If you have a link that’d be awesome. Thanks!
Excellent work
Japan has some amazing watches
Yea, Baby.....another superbly made video I love it.....great commentary nice selection of merchandise always food for thought. Bravo👍.
Thanks - much appreciated Birgit!
That 1675 with the spidering gilt dial... Damn, that’s nice! Also really interesting to see the stick dial ceramic GMT!
I loved the Tudors, and the price on that day date!
Stumbled upon your channel. Very intuitive and your knowledge of the brand is amazing so much to learn. Thank you for sharing. As a comment please zoom out slightly to make the price tags visible.
Thanks and agreed - I'll do better about getting those prices next time.
Domo Arigato Austin.
I have a pre-2000 Rolex (A serial also) and confirmed the hollow end link just as your Rolex Spotting Basics tutorial showed. Thank you for the useful video!
By the way, one of these days you should talk in Japanese and have subtitles. Since you change things up from time to time anyways.
Horological fatigue Austin says about speeding past the current models. What it really seems like to me was Austin’s horological boredom with current models , and his horological excitement to get up to the vintage pieces he so loves and could see above out of the corner of his eyes. You defiantly have a definitive preference Austin 👊🏼
Saving so much money being in quarantine for months even got a nice raise too. The Rolex fund is growing nicely.
Great job! Do another video that involves food!
Great video, albeit making things more confusing for me. Can I simply get the latest 116710LN, and be happy with it not being a ceramic or stick dial - all of which I have no idea of?
Crazy inventory. Subscribing. Phist!
It was cool to see so many great watches all in one place, thanks for the video. :) Will you be purchasing any?
I really think I have enough pre-owned, neo-vintage pieces. Aside from a brand new piece at an AD, I can't see getting another Rolex.
Yup saw my 16710. Looking good.
Hi austin
Can you add sky dwellers in your reviews both steel and rosegold
Many thanks and stay healthy
Hi Austin, from ur point of view, which one better.. subs or sea dweller? Tq
Nice 👍
I really like that Tudor black bay 58
Austin, I bought my GMT Master in mid-1997. It was a U series with Tritium. Seems like all 1997 models have Tritium
That must be the case with the 16700. All the 16710 U serials that I've seen - aside from the one in this very video - have been Swiss only dials, so they must have incorporated luminova a bit earlier in the GMT Master 2.
Austin.. I just wanted to say your vidz have improved immensely since you've added Uncle Archie's audio clips.. 🔉😜 Phukkmidead.. 👍
Where can i buy a good deal Rolex Watch in Japan
Ever tried a watch with a world time bezel????seem like a good tool to have if travelling 😆
Awesome GMT lineup you saw there! i am always wondering, is spider dial a kinda defect that we should avoid when buying Vintage pieces?or is it more desirable? those tritium pieces looks like aging nicely ;)
That's a good question, because it's certainly a defect. But it's the defects and anomalies that are what makes these pieces special. I can certainly understand the argument against paying 20 grand for something with a cracked dial, but I also understand the rarity factor that's at play.
@@watchsymposium Thanks for your inputs Austin! great to hear an opinion that seems quite down to earth :) i guess those spider dialed watches might be ones that i will tend to keep for a very long time once i decided to buy one.. anyways i am still thinking which vintage GMT-Master to go for although many says 1675 is the defacto that any collector would go for but price wise, might be not the best at this current covid stituation.
What price are Japan dealers paying for current model BNIB Explorer 39mm w warranty?
Hi, mate have you seen in Japan a Rolex Bamford Daytona Model 116520 Spirit of Japan Red Dial?
well that was fun... I'm not sure about the goal of being able to tell the solid end links from the others. I'd be down for learning it if my job was buying and selling or if I was very interested in that model I suppose. I should have more empathy in life and shall strive to do so. It is resolved, LOL.
do japan shop prices matter when we have chrono 24? you can look for the cheapest watch on the market from around the world
where's that "link in the description" about a video which shows how to recognize the solid endlinks bracelets...?
It's there. But here it is again: czcams.com/video/ms1YTOAphT8/video.html
Funny to see the crazy inventory, it makes me drool but also reminds me why the prices got inflated to begin with. All the grey market dealers buying up inventory, a lot of ad's selling under the table to them at a markup instead of to regular customers or people just buying and selling the them for the cash. Now lets see how long they stay in business sitting on over priced inventory.
there is so many rolex steel sports in the grey market everywhere.... the prices are dropping big style 📉 its 🌵
What’s a stick dial? Something helpful for us would be if you could convert prices to USD. Subscribed!
Thanks for subscribing. A stick dial has two sticks (II) in place of the Roman numerals on the dial of a GMT Master 2.
I look at my Casio Duro and just smile.
Question for you Austin:
I don't recall if I heard from one of your videos, but is it true that there are so many "newer" model watches available in Japan because the Japanese typically desire to own newer/new luxury goods and thus buy and sell after a short period of ownership? Also, is it generally accepted that the Japanese take very good care of their watches and thus present great buying opportunities for used pieces regarding condition? Many thanks.
Yes, it's a great place to buy because the examples are great and so is the selection. Prices can be a bit high, though.
"is it true that there are so many "newer" model watches available in Japan because the Japanese typically desire to own newer/new luxury goods and thus buy and sell after a short period of ownership?" On the whole, yes, but I'm not sure that it applies to Rolex and other collectible vintage watches because of their desirability.
😃👍💪cant beat Rolex! Need I say any more!!!
great vid - I will be over to buy another watch as soon as possible
Looking forward to it!
Thank you for producing these excellent videos. Is the Mark I purple bezel for the ceramic pepsi more collectible relative to the Mark II and Mark III?
Some people think it will be in in the future. At the moment the Mark 1 sells for less here in Japan, though that might be just because they are the older ones.
In 20 years, finding a Mark 1 might be a really special thing, and command a premium. The only catch is that they are kind of hard to ID if you don't have a Mark 2/3 next to it. I'm kind of surprised dealers here haven't tried to put a slight premium on the Mark 1 to try and milk the speculators.
Both will be overtaken by the price of a humble 16710 full set in 5 yrs (16750/760 already are )!
Fairly expensive when compared to MSRP .. guessing this was not an AD...
Ps thanks for the name-check 🙂 btw, sure you know, but I'm not my namesake who has a Watch related CZcams channel - we couldn't be more different tbh 🤔
Good that you clarified that - seeing your watch knowledge in the comment section, I bet more than a few people think you're both the same person!
On a separate note, your comments on your videos are hilarious, like comparing the watch to a whore at the altar-or encouraging us to troll at the end 😂😂. Someone needs to make a compilation book of Austinisms.
Best Waltz Ever, Dig the Cracked Prehistoric and the pressed Jubies,,, OohHH-YeaahhHHH!
Unreal Show AD.
Good stuff Austin they have some kit out your way you just wouldn’t see in London. That 1960 1675 with the gloss dial is a bit dubious mind - they were gilt ‘swiss’ radium dial with a chapter ring right up until the end of 1960 but there may have been a few unused dials - if anyone is getting into these high priced gilt watches or any high value up to 1974 always if you can get the case back taken off and the 3 monthly or quarterly date is there in Roman numerals eg IV 64 is Oct-Dec 1964 (forth quarter is also incorrectly stamped VI sometimes - that’s fine too !) I would only buy this 1675 if it was fourth quarter 196O therefore for reason above...any later and I think it would a dial swap...Lovely watch though. Ps RIP Honor Blackman the original 6542 Gmt poster girl. Been wearing mine as a salute!
Ps meaning that it would have to one of the very first non radium dial watches ever hence could only really have be fitted at factory at the end of the 1960 - and yes the best 5 digit investment (to buy now)is a tritium 1988-1999 lug hole Sea Dweller 16600 they are currently £6k will be £10k in 5 yrs!
I appreciate that, Paul, and thanks for the insight. As your comment illustrates, buying vintage is fraught with risk and you really have to know what you're doing. I can't ever see myself traversing that minefield. But I do loving seeing those vintage pieces - a trip to Nakano is a bit like heading to a horological museum.
🥴bet you will though albeit in a few years - the entry drug is a 16750 (non Wg surround) matte or a similar 16800 matte dial and then a bit of your 16570/14060/16610/16710 love will leave you and your hooked....then looking for a 5513/1680 Matte dial and px’ing/selling a 5 digit. True though knowledge is power in vintage ‘ Malcolm Gladwells 10,000 hours’ is never truer than in watch collecting/investing, though I think Archie misread it as 10 hrs 😮
Funny; if I ever did dabble in vintage - you called it - it would be something like a 16750. "...knowledge is power in vintage". I hear you there! I'm still in the acquisition phase (and thoroughly enjoying it).
@@watchsymposium That would be a v good call for a first plexi/matte dial watch - ps thought your DJ 1601 anology was funny (and a bit weird) in equal measure 😏.... if your viewers are looking for gilt edged vintage investment 1601/1603 (c $4-8k) the two to go for are the unique hand painted 70s/80s Roman numeral AKA Buckley dials (doubled in value in 5 yrs), or if they have a few quid more the 80s 16030 'boiler gauge' dialed watch doubled also in 5 yrs.
You look so much better without that goatee.
can I contact you in case I visit Tokyo for Rolex shopping?
Sure, my email address is in the description of my newer videos.
Some people watch porn. I watch Austin Daniels’ channel.
If i came to shop there could i meet you for some help. Thanks.
Regards Dick
16600 Still your fav sleeper? Would it be worth it to fly to Japan from L.A. to buy a Professional? Buy you dinner...lol
It's one of them, yes. I'd say you could probably find one even cheaper in L.A. - prices in Japan tend to be higher than the States. But then again, your tax back could pay for your trip if you get an expensive piece!
Go on Chrono 24 and type in 16600 then hit ‘showing cheapest first’ then checkout the sellers feedbacks and then buy - it’s in escrow account so very safe - buy pre 2000 lug hole, tritium with some patina - box and paper premium is only 15-20% so worth seeking out pay between £6000 and £7500 - I bought a load at £4750 in 2017 so prices are going up but they haven’t gone yet like the 16570 has (which I was buying in 2017 for 3000)
Now that’s what I call ubiquitous
Would rather a rootbeer instead of a Daytona price wise
Rowlecks!!!
Austin, what I just don’t get is who is buying these overpriced, overstocked watches, I mean there is a huge amount of inventory. How can they afford to hold all that stock ?
G Scraggster My question as well. Maybe they offset the inventory hold costs by selling other overpriced watches and jewelry?
These watches are all great but why not show some of the 100k-300k Rolex range instead of the 1m, even you wouldn’t buy them.
7:18. Pontiff approves
As usual the vintage ones like 1675 are overpriced af lol.. crack gilt dials aint worth 22-24k usd. U can probably get a decent one with that kind of price. Same for matte dial ones (not even long e , mark 1) . Its no where near 20k usd unless its like super complete.
Shit . Can I get a Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 for $2000 us ? Did I hear him right ?
If you’ve got a time machine
I thought all japanese stores sell genuine products!
They do. All these are genuine.
@@watchsymposium I meant you shown the batman as being a fake. Was this not in a reputable store? Thanks.
All the watches in this video are legit.
The fake Batman you're talking about was not in a reputable store. It was in this video: czcams.com/video/CwJCZvnaLS0/video.html
@@watchsymposium Thanks Austin, nice video contents, very informative by the way
There is no tourist in Japan so nobody's buying Rolex anymore. Sad
do you really think those prices in Yen mean anything to us?
Michael Fierman Hi. Just move the decimal over two. Divide by 100. Ball park, 100 yen to the dollar. Thanks.
1 million yen is 10k usd. Super easy to convert.
Q: What do you call a trouser belt made entirely of Rolex watches??

I think you already know what we're going to say which is why you are asking for critical comments. I didn't enjoy the inserted audio comments of Paul Pluta. He's not anyone you should be relating to these days. He needs to sort his s#it out first. Otherwise a great video.
Time for my daily watch porn.
Like you better with your beard and moustache.
