Hello everyone,

I am a Michigan native Living and working in Tokyo for a few years.

The last few weeks I have been Lurking in the shadows absorbing all of the knowledge I can.
I have always been interested in watches, but in the past few months have found the quest for the best rep to be much more interesting than window shopping in GINZA. Although here in Tokyo it is easy to get a look at all the genuine articles....

I recently placed my first order for the wife and I with Sead (PAM063 and Lady datejust). I can't wait to get my hands on my first REPs.

Just wanted to thank everyone for the great information contained on the site. As an engineer by trade i was already a geek, now I am slowly becoming a rep geek!

Welcome and enjoy - this is the place to be if you like reps.

I too am looking to get a job in Japan to live there for a while. Totaly nuts for Japanese culture. Any tips please PM.

How difficult is it to order reps into Japan? Customs problems?

Tokyo is a great city to enjoy and work ... just need to get used to the tight quarters and the mass of humanity around you.

enjoy repgeek and post pics of your watches

I was wondering about that?

For my first order, sead has been working with me on the shipping.
I asked that he receive my first 2 reps give them a once over and ship to some relatives in Michigan. I will home for most of July and plan to pick them up then. Hopefully everything works out.

for my next rep i'll try the China Shipment method and see how it goes with Japan Customs.
