lets go T-O-K-Y-O!!!! Ikuyo!
this will be a 2 parter post... this 1st part is for the watch lovers since this is a watch blog after all ;) the next part will be more on what i love about Japan but till then... some info on 2 watch shops i went to in my visit this round [in case u didn't know i've been away in Japan for a week and been way busy the last week so the backlog of things I haven't got round to posting is HUGE! slowly but surely yuh :) ]
2 watch shops to checkout in Tokyo... Jack Road which I have posted on before click here... and house of kihiroba... some proper directions below (trust me the rest i've seen on the net which is hardly any sucks a$$)
1. Exit Shibuya station the hachiko exit. u'll see the doggy statue. i believe he is Japan's lassie
[ click to read the rest of the post... expand / collapse ]
2. Next look for the Matsu thingie and head for that...
the right road to head down...
3. walk down the street and soon you will see this sign and you've hit jackpot
don't overshoot this building yuh, its on the 4th and 5th floor of this place...
4. Buy watches ;) well if u find something u like at the right price. they have a decent selection and they were friendly to the raphmeister which is why its here on timetapestry. [ there were some shops in tokyo which weren't unfortunately... long story ]
Ok another place i managed to check out was douze 12. i had chanced upon it on the net as it was noted as an AD for vianney halter and u know i can always see more vianney halters yuh ;) but reaching there, there were none in sight so i got pics of some of the other interesting watches on display... some directions to the place below...
1. Go to Tokyo Metro Ginza Line to the Gaienmae station exit 1A
1. Go to Tokyo Metro Ginza Line to the Gaienmae station exit 1A
2. head down the path where u see this bridge....
3. turn left when u see the sunrider shop...
n u r there...
Now i suggest only going here if u have loadsamoney though as some of the watches are pretty pricey... eg. this blingy guy had a price tag of 16+million yen!!!
tell me all about it harry winston ;)
good to know they take servicing seriously
& some watches for the ladies...
thats all for part 1.... look out for part 2 soon :) cheers, raph

First of all, I love your blog, it's inspirational and you have a very distinctive taste looking at watches. Recently, I came across a pre-owned Harry Winston Dual Time Z4 in Zalium and would like your take for this piece. FYI, I have a Panerai 233 and a ROO rubberclad in my collection, should there be other choices to add to this young collection. Joseph from HK (swjoseph@gmail.com)
