Japanese Rolex Books/magazines

I would really like to get my hands on a couple of these (see links below) but dont want to go through ebay for them. I was hoping that maybe someone here may know where to get them in the US or Canada. Or if someone knows of a small Japanese store near them that might have them and could do me a favour =) I would become you new best friend.

If you had asked the same question 8 weeks ago I could have mailed you some. But I am back in the States now.

However the books you are looking at are not cheap to begin with and shipping from the Japan is awful high too.

The Japanese sure do have a lot of magazines just on Rolex though.

Just my luck. But thanks.


I have family in HK but they don't know which store to buy it from. They have looked in a few places and couldnt find it. Anyone know where in HK one might be able to find these books?
