Nice write up!
Thanks for sharing!

i was also mesmerized by their 9F quartz second hand, saw some videos on youtube

thanks for the tour

There's English explanations on everything that has an explanation. If there's Jap text, there's probably English text too. But there's maybe 10-20% of the items that have text on them... so the remaining 80%+ is textless whatever language you speak. The guide helps explain all that (things like water clocks and how they work, etc), if you want... Otherwise, you can easily go without a guided tour and just appreciate the pieces on your own.

whats mesmerizing about it?

take pic and use google translate?

Don't need to. If there's Jap text, there's an English translation there.

For everything else, either you have the guide to explain things to you... or you just walk around without a guide and just look. However, I cannot confirm that you can walk around without a guide... this "might" be required.

the ticks looks different from normal quartz, or its just my mind playing tricks

GS


Omega AT

only difference i see is one is close up, one is not

earlier this year i was like WOW when i saw this... but when you asked, i tried searching and found out that most quartz tick alike

All quartz ticks looks the same to me , except for this piece here



Or the accutron, which does not tick at all!

It looks nice because the hands are long.
Normal quartz will have short hands.

There's definitely a slight difference in how the second hand ticks between quartz watches... if I had a quartz GS, it'd be easier to show it side by side... but unfortunately... haha.

Dropped by WAKO today... but had somewhat limited time, so didn't check prices of anything.



A couple of the collections available on the ground floor...


And of course, I had to handle the Snowflake. Stunning in person... had to slap myself before I took out the card to grab it. One day... one day...

Dropped by Yobodashi as well... Couldn't find the Urushi (might have been out of stock?)... The MM300 however is retailing for around 230k yen.

Oh thanks man!!! Where are you going today? Covered tsukiji market?

I've got a lunch appointment at a Michelin restaurant

After that it's light and easy... most probably pick up some souvenirs and things like that from around the apartment in Shinjuku... Flight back is late tonight.

So many members visiting japan lol. Such a coincident, I will be buying my seiko there tomorrow too

At Mr Jiro's sushi place??

new user coming in.

my humble review @ https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3761021

thanks all

Akasaka Kien is what the place is called I think... Wasn't too bad considering I don't really like seafood Really small place with seating for 6 at a time max.

Back in KL now without any new watches... I resisted!!! Muahaha...
