I'm living in Japan now and the answer is no. Don't even waste your time. Even if they had something in stock, odds of the AD agreeing to sell it to a foreigner are very slim. On the other hand, everything is available at the grey market shops.

Hey, Well, in short-nothing! In Thailand Rolex Ad were nice, kind and even put my name for an op41green :) (I know, I’m not counting to be emailed) In Japan at lost places they didn’t even let me talk with them, see watches on display- very disappointed. But hey the vacation with my family was amazing so who cares, in the end of the day, it’s all just watches Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Same one year later, not local, not happening. And even then for anything SS, need to have deep pockets. Thailand really doesn’t get a lot of watches for their population. 100% you’re better off sticking with your home country AD.
And yes to above^, Thai SAs (and Thai people in general) are wonderful to talk to and be around. Never rude like you encounter at a lot of U.S. ADs. But with that niceness comes flat out misinformation……a U.S. AD for example will simply turn you away. A Thai SA might make you think you have a chance and is just being pleasant, in reality it’s not a chance. There’s no ‘luck’ and get a random call there, management would be INFURIATED for something to not go to the backlogs of Thai people and to a tourist first. |
