I like the clarity and selection of their display.

I've never seen anything like that here in SoCal. Here dealers always tuck the little price tag under the watch.

Always liked visiting Nakano but I find their prices to be on the higher side these days. The electronic stores inside the mall also occasionally have some nice used items for sale.

There are so many people in that small store it is just more practical to display the price, not enough staff to open the display and get the price. Jewelers in the US force the interaction to try to push the sale. The average buyer at Jack Road knows what they are looking for before they arrive.

It is a cool place to window shop, and if you are looking for a hard to find watch it might be an option, but the costs are too high for me. There are several other watch shops in the same mall. Endless window shopping. So many places in Tokyo to buy watches.

Hmm. Quote function isn’t working. Perhaps the post is in process of deletion.
And does reposting it help much?

My trip in December.. LV heavy.

I was just at that exact store in December.

Prices on LVs have risen in what 4 months. It is what it is. They will sell at that price and more in 6 months.

Nakano is the train station name there. If there is a store called Nakano Broadway I am not familiar with it. But it is Japan so you should be good to go.

At the end of the day Eddie, TBH... I’m not certain if it does help much.

Maybe I (naively) thought that reposting would create awareness among members who thought nothing of it and would feel it was fine to repeat.

There is so much “looking away” these days, I thought I’d try not to.

At any rate “it’s just a Watch forum” I suppose.
