That’s a great looking piece. I’m SO tempted to fly into NRT for a weekend of watch shopping - USD vs Yen is very favorable now.

I must say that Ive taken advantage of the USD-Yen conversion. Ive also bought a SBDC101 (SPB143) 62MAS, an SBDC143 cool Willard, and an SBDC139 white face 62MAS. Unreal discounts. About $700 USD for each of those, no tax.

Best part about tourism in Japan, I'd say. For tourists, specialty stores (in this example, watch stores) are exempted from tax. 

That added to how the stores pass their cost aaving to encourage stock turnarounds is why you cam get watches cheaper in Japan.
