    Mr. R here! Thanks for all the help Austin! It was a blast!! I’ve been wearing the 2 pieces on my travels in Japan and both are amazing pieces.
    Thanks to all the other viewers and their nice comments!

    Enjoyed the video a lot. The idea of couple off to making their own histories with these watches is just awesome. Cool watch choices too. Had a BB Pro for about half a year and that little guy was doing 0.1s/day average over a couple of months, amazing movement inside. Like you said, never had any worries wearing my Tudor anywhere.

    I wish I had known. I would have sold him my Speedmaster with box (no papers). I’m trying to upgrade to a sapphire sandwich or new white lacquer dial Speedy.

    The guy seemed super cool. The antithesis of a "watch nerd"...he wasn't too nit picky...knew what he wanted....and BOUGHT them!!
    So tired of seeing videos of guys running around kicking tires of dozens of watches, obsessing over superficial details, whining about prices and then going away with nothing because of silly little trivial reasons.

    Hi Austin, I am from Manila, Philippines. I was in Osaka last week and I accidentally dropped by Don Quijote Department Store in Shinsaibashi Shopping District and I was able to acquire a new Omega Speedmaster Hesalite for Y740,000 or roughly around $4920.00. Plenty of discount. Am just lucky because it is the last piece in the store.

    Hi Austin! I am on the hunt for the particular Japanese market only Seiko model (produced in mid 90s), are there any specific online platforms you can recommend to look for? Or perhaps you can share some info how and where to look for a specific used watch in Japan? Many-many thanks in advance and warm greetings from London!
