Good information. The over-polishing issue is not as bad as it once was, but be careful with vintage watches. Bargaining isn’t completely taboo for all shopping. It’s essential when buying electronics in Akihabara, for example. Finally, you omitted department stores. They sometimes have special editions unique to the store (Omega does frequently), they are very familiar with the tax refund thing, and it’s a really great shopping experience.

If you're going to buy, take your passport. You need it to get the VAT refund. I needed to have it to make a purchase.

Very nice video, I had an amazing experience in Malaysia - some of the nicest and most humble individuals. Even the Rolex boutiques have a no-snobbery outlook and are very honest. I visited the Grand Seiko boutique there and was amazed at how accommodating they are. I look forward to visiting Japan, especially the Seiko Museum. Thank you for the video.

I have been watchshopping all over the world for both used and new and nowhere is as cheap with as large an inventory as....................Los Angleles, Miami and NYC. There I said it. The grass is always greener on the other side of course, so go to Japan and see how pricey the secondhand market is over there, and what´s the point of excellent customer service when your average Japanese salesperson doesn´t bother to learn the most important language on earth.
