STAFF COMMENTS

MW, thank you so much for your purchase and for appearing on our YouTube channel.

The person we'd like to introduce today is a customer who has used our services several times before.
Actually, this was the first time I, Satoda, have had the opportunity to assist you. And the watch you chose this time was the Rolex Yachtmaster 37, Ref. 268655.

Apparently, this was a model he had wanted for several years, and he told me, "I chose this watch as the culmination of my life's work." He also said, "This might be my last watch," and those words left a strong impression on me.

When I actually spoke with him, I found him to be a very gentle person, and his kind character shone through naturally. I myself had a very pleasant time, and as we continued talking, I felt a strong desire to get to know him better; he was a truly fascinating customer.

When asked what made the decision to purchase this time, you said, "It was because of the excellent customer service," which was truly gratifying to hear as a salesperson. And above all, the Yachtmaster 37 suited you perfectly. It was a perfect match for MW, who has a calm demeanor and an air of mature confidence, and I felt that you have a good understanding of what kind of watch suits you.

We are truly delighted that you chose our store for such a significant milestone in your life. Please feel free to visit us again anytime. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much for your visit and purchase.

In addition to a date display, it also features a GMT function, making it highly functional, and it was available with two dial options: black and white.

WATCH DETAILS

[Rolex ] Submariner Date "Ref. 16610LV

The item purchased by Keisuke-sama was: The green bezel, which is also the symbolic color of Rolex, is its greatest appeal. The Submariner "Ref. 16610LV" is a model commemorating the 50th anniversary of its creation.

Introduced in 2003, this model features larger indices and hands compared to the "Ref. 16610" produced around the same time, resulting in significantly improved legibility.

In particular, this piece is a superb example, possessing rare features such as the "Lime Bezel," which is one of the earliest models with a bezel that has discolored to a pale green; the "Flat 4," which is a trapezoidal shape at the number 4 on the bezel; and the "Big Swiss," which is a large "SWISS MADE" inscription at the 6 o'clock position on the dial.

STAFF COMMENTS

Keisuke-sama, thank you very much for your purchase and for appearing on our YouTube channel.

It turns out that we're the same age, and we hit it off so naturally that it was hard to believe it was our first meeting. The watch she chose this time was the Rolex Submariner Date "Ref. 16610LV" (commonly known as the Green Sub).

Actually, I was very happy to hear that the reason for this purchase was that it all started when they watched my YouTube Live broadcast featuring the "16610LV." Furthermore, they said they had watched that video multiple times to prepare, and I was truly delighted to hear that.

Initially, the customer came to our store undecided between the current "Ref.126610LV" and the "Ref.16610LV," but I happened to be the one assisting them. As I reiterated the appeal of the "16610LV," they were able to appreciate the atmosphere and character unique to semi-vintage watches, and ultimately decided on this one.

Keisuke-san is a very humble and sincere person. As we talked, I learned that he attended a high school in Nagano Prefecture that I know of, and we even discovered that we had actually played a soccer match against that school during our high school days. Incidentally, Keisuke-san apparently practiced judo. We had a great time talking about Nagano Prefecture, and I personally had a very enjoyable time.

And, coincidentally, this was the day their second child was born. After purchasing this watch, he told us he was going to pick up his wife and child, and that a new life was beginning. His excited expression was very memorable. We are truly happy that he chose this watch to mark such a wonderful milestone in his life.

Please come visit our store again soon. Next time, let's have a long chat about Rolex. I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much for your visit and purchase.
