DAYTONA EL-PRIMERO

Reference 16520

The watch that AH purchased was a Rolex Daytona Ref. 16520 with a brown-colored sub-dial.

This is an overwhelmingly popular semi-vintage model equipped with the movement "Cal. 4030" based on Zenith's "El Primero," which has long been called the king of chronographs since its release in 1988. The dial comes in two colors, black for an intricate look and white for a sophisticated look, and the crystal has been changed to sapphire crystal from this model.

COMMENTS
Thank you AH for your purchase! The MK5 dial is in good condition and is consistent, making it a truly one-of-a-kind piece that only a vintage watch can offer! The brown contrast peeking out from the blue jacket is sophisticated and suits you very well! If you come to Ginza again, please come and see Commit Ginza and Yagi! Once again, thank you very much.

The watch that NICK purchased is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, a non-working model with a popular grey dial. Automatic' 'Ref.15500ST.OO.1220ST.02'.

This model, released in 2019, inherits the Grand Tapisserie pattern black dial from its predecessor, but the thicker indexes improve visibility. In terms of design, the "AUTOMATIC" marking at 6 o'clock on the dial has been removed, giving it a cleaner impression compared to the previous model "Ref. 15400".

NICK came to our store on vacation from Moscow. Thank you for your purchase. We are very happy that you found our store and found a product that you were satisfied with. We understand that you came to Japan to eat delicious food, so we hope you will enjoy your trip with this "Royal Oak"!

DAYTONA

Reference 116520

The watch that Junya purchased was the Rolex Daytona Ref. 116520, with a cream-colored dial.

The so-called "Cream Daytona" model, which is available in the P, K, Y, and F numbers, is a model that has risen in popularity in recent years. It is said that the color of the dial changes to cream because a coloring agent that changes color over time is used to color the dial when it is made.

COMMENTS
Thank you Junya for your purchase. This is a watch with a great atmosphere, with the color of the cream clearly visible! You also mentioned that it was your reason for deciding to purchase it, but if it's one that Kaneko recommends, it's definitely a good one! We think that you are probably the most picky appraiser in the industry when it comes to cream. (lol) Unfortunately, we can't show your face, but we've also arranged for a photo of you and Kaneko in the Daytona!!

WATCH DETAILS

ROLEX

SUBMARINER

Reference 5513

The watch purchased by watanbyh was a meter-first Rolex Submariner Ref. 5513.

This is a long-selling model that was manufactured from around 1963 to around 1990, and one of its great attractions is the difference in specifications that has been achieved through minor changes. The water resistance reading at the 6 o'clock position is written in the order of meters and feet (ft), commonly known as "meter first," and this has made it an extremely popular model in high demand.

COMMENTS
Thank you watanbyh for your purchase! The name is already stylish, but seeing the wrist shot made me agree! You quickly changed to a NATO strap! It goes perfectly with the rimless old Submariner, but it also looks really cool when combined with watanbyh's fashion! Satoda, who was in charge of the case, also praised watanbyh's amazing fashion sense! If you are in Ginza, I would be happy if you could come and see Satoda. Please take a look at our new store!

WATCH DETAILS

VACHERON CONSTANTIN

OVERSEAS CHRONOGRAPH

Reference 5500V/110A-B481

The watch that MASA purchased is the popular Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph Ref. 5500V/110A-B481, a model that has an elegant yet casual feel.

Released in 2016 as the third generation chronograph model, this model is the first Overseas model to feature a see-through case back, allowing you to view the in-house movement, Cal. 5200, which took about five years to develop and has been awarded the Geneva Seal. The case diameter of 42.5mm is impressive, but the well-balanced design, including the three-counter sub-dial, gives it a sleek impression. The watch is equipped with an "interchangeable system" that allows you to change the strap with one touch without using tools, making it easy to change to a stainless steel bracelet, alligator strap, or rubber strap depending on the situation or season.

COMMENTS
MASA, thank you for your purchase! You said that the deciding factor for your purchase was your friend, but it must have been TAKA, who appeared in the Watch Enthusiast Series Vol. 30 that we introduced the other day! The photo of the two of you together with the double Overseas is super cool! It really shows how close you two are, and it warms the hearts of all the staff! Once again, thank you very much! Please come visit Commit Ginza again together! TAKA, your new hairstyle suits you very much!
