Been in Tokyo for a couple of days now and have checked two stores, Item at Shibuya (http://item.ocnk.net/) and Private Eyes at Takinogawa (http://www.watchnet.co.jp/p-eyes/index.php)

Here are some watches that caught my eyes at Item:

Here are my pics from Private Eyes:

The watches:

I was led to the inner room where Maeda, the shop manager (Endo, the owner was out of town), showed me more stuff. Since I was told not to take pics of the watches that were to be shown to me, this was the best I could manage:

I ended up buying my first ever Rolex. Honestly, I was never into Rolex as a brand, but this bubble back "spoke" to me:

@Drawarms and @Drechristian : I was on a time limit at Private Eyes, so I wasn't able to check the bracelets, nor try a lot of watches 🙁
In any case, I just messaged Maeda and Endo for you guys about them bracelets. Will keep you posted!

Lol. He replied to my text that the bracelets should be available this month and the ones in the shop are for display watches in the shop 😒 Will keep you updated!

Maybe some members here can help us finding some GF style beads of rice bracelets, anyone? 😀

Before my trip to Tokyo, I was hoping that they would still have this by the time I got there:

I waited for my trip to see it in the metal. I should have reserved it!

I did end up getting this from them though
