Japan is moving up on my travel list. One benefit besides sumo, sushi, the people and bullet trains, would be watch shopping. Wondering if any members have a good story and whether the dollar-to-yen favorability was a real benefit, negotiating tips and if bringing it back through Customs was fee-punitive. My one experience with watches and Asia was a 1983 Taiwan trip with my then maniac-toy importer boss who had his tailor make me Saturday Night Fever shirts, his dumping me for his mistress, and a fake Rolex buying spree through a false door entry. I returned to NY wearing the watch on my forearm with its gold patina good for about six months. He also gave me a bonus to quit. Yeah, the days long gone.
