Introducing Commit Ginza Appraiser

The Importance of Appraisers

Our store operates under the motto of "customer first," and in order to maximize the benefits for our customers, we are thorough in our policy of "buying high and selling low." However, to achieve this, it is most important to have appraisers with a wealth of knowledge and experience.
Our store's expert appraisers check domestic and international market prices daily and constantly update their information. They collect a lot of information about watches, including market trends, price differences based on condition, brand trends, changes in popularity and trends, and the ever-evolving counterfeits and copies.
We would like to introduce you to our most excellent appraisers, who embody the motto of "buy high, sell low" better than anywhere else.

"I want to buy a luxury watch at the lowest possible price."
"I want my watch to be valued at its highest possible value when purchased."
We work by thoroughly exploring how we can meet what we consider to be basic needs that everyone has.

As a result, we have been blessed with the support of many loyal customers, and are now able to handle many rare pieces that are not even available online, including Patek Philippe, that are sought after by collectors around the world.

We will continue to operate our store without complacency, so that we can become the most trusted and beloved store in Japan.
We look forward to your visit.

Comment

In order to offer our customers a fair price and make them happy, we conduct market research on luxury watches by checking the selling prices and purchase prices of approximately 50 companies, both domestic and international, every day.
We deal with a lot of Rolex watches in particular, and prices vary greatly depending on the condition and year, so we check market prices carefully.
In addition, we specialize in four-digit vintage Rolex models, including Paul Newmans and hand-wound Daytonas, and while these are difficult models to identify and some stores take several days to determine their authenticity and provide a fair price, we can provide an answer on the same day. If you have one, please feel free to contact us.
My blog, which mainly focuses on vintage Rolexes, is updated daily, so be sure to check it out!

With our motto of "customer first," we strive to provide accurate advice tailored to the needs of each individual customer.
Our store has a wide selection of rare items and vintage models in good condition, and we have an environment in which we can hone our appraisal skills, so we devote ourselves daily to honing our skills under the guidance of senior appraisers.
In addition, our store insists on face-to-face appraisals so that customers can feel at ease when buying and selling watches, so please feel free to visit us.
I would be delighted to have a lot of discussion with you about watches, including your passion for watches and your watch history. I also post my top picks on Instagram, so please follow and like my account! Thank you!

Comment

After working as a watch repair technician for a certain famous brand for 20 years, I began my career as an appraiser at Commit Ginza.
I utilize the experience I gained in my previous job to help customers every day as a "doctor" and "appraiser."
We can provide you with a lot of useful information that will help you own a luxury watch, especially about how mechanical watches work and how to handle and maintain them, so please feel free to contact us.
In addition, on our official YouTube channel "COMMIT TV", we also post videos in which I introduce how to handle luxury watches, so please be sure to check them out, subscribe to our channel, and give us a like.

Comment

I have been gaining experience as a watch appraiser since 2014. In addition to checking the condition of the watch, I will also advise you on the fair market price.
In addition, in my previous job I was not only an appraiser but also involved in sales, so I can also help you with your purchase, so please feel free to contact us.
Of course we handle Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Audemars Piguet, but we can also handle other brands.
In order to ensure that customers who visit our store are glad they came to Commit, we will also focus on customer service and hospitality so that we can provide them with additional value.
