Enjoy it! Tokyo is like Disneyland for watch lovers. Almost every train station I went to had a high end end department store with Grand Seiko and others. The Ginza shopping district is incredible, I spent an entire day there. The Seiko ClockTower building from the 1800's is in Ginza and has a Grand Seiko/Credor flagship boutique on the ground level. The Seiko museum is also around the corner and it is free, but I did have to make a reservation in advance. The Citizen flagship is nearby and had offerings from all of the Citizen Group brands.

I spent way too much time looking at watches on my trip 😂

Man, what an experience that would have been! I'll have to stop by that shop one of these days when I'm in the midwest.

Thank you! Yes, in my opinion this is a hidden gem reference from Longines. I had never seen this model until I was at Nakano Broadway in Tokyo. FireKids watch shop had this on display alongside many vintage omega, Rolex, Universal Geneve, etc. My friend purchased this reference there, but I couldn't get it out of my head 😂 After weeks of debating and searching online I found another one in Japan on eBay and ordered it

Maybe would have gone with a blue, black or gray dial here but I agree that dive watches are ok with suits as long as it matches
