Three years ago, I saw Federer wearing a Rolex GMT with the blue and black bezel in a magazine and was blown away. A watch-savvy friend told me to buy it ASAP since the price would only go up, but I didn't take it seriously at the time. Last year, I realized the price had gone up by 30%, and I regretted not listening to my friend...
When I traveled to Tokyo last year, I made a special trip to Nakano, the watch lover's paradise, and found the new GMT blue and black bezel with the five-link bracelet at Kame-Kichi. It was over TWD 400,000, and prices had definitely gone up. I figured you can't always get this model in Taiwan, even if you have the money, so how could I leave empty-handed? 😎 Recently, I heard a rumor that Japan is restricting foreigners from buying popular Rolex models, only allowing Japanese residents and those with residency to purchase. Not sure if that's true or not?
