Ultra-Luxusuhren in Japan kaufen
Japan has the deepest vintage Rolex and vintage Patek inventory globally. Japanese collectors hold incredibly well-preserved 1960s-80s pieces due to humidity-controlled storage culture. Yen weakness since 2022 has made Tokyo a major arbitrage destination — foreign buyers regularly fly in for vintage acquisitions at ~10-20% discount to home-market pricing. Jackroad in Shibuya has ~5,000 pre-owned luxury watches at any time.
