Introduction to Commit Ginza Appraisers Appraiser

The Importance of Appraisers

At our store, which operates under the principle of "customer-first," we are committed to "buying high and selling low" more thoroughly than anywhere else, in order to maximize benefits for our customers. However, to achieve this, the presence of an appraiser with abundant "knowledge" and "experience" is paramount.
Our proud appraisers check market prices domestically and internationally daily, constantly updating their information. They gather extensive information about watches, including market trends, price differences due to condition, brand trends, changes in popularity and trends, and even the constantly evolving fake and replica products.
We introduce our "superb" appraisers who embody the motto of "buying high and selling low" more than anywhere else.

Comment

I am dedicated to thoroughly pursuing how to meet the natural needs that everyone has, such as "wanting to buy luxury watches at the lowest possible price" and "wanting to sell my watch with the highest possible appraisal."

As a result, I have been blessed with many excellent customers who support me, and I have been able to handle many rare pieces that even collectors worldwide are searching for, including Patek Philippe, which are not even available online.

I will continue to operate without complacency, striving to be the most trusted and beloved store in Japan.
We sincerely look forward to your visit.

Comment

To present "fair prices" to our customers and bring them as much joy as possible, I continuously check the selling and buying prices of about 50 domestic and international companies daily as part of my luxury watch market research.
Especially for Rolex, which we handle frequently, prices can vary greatly depending on condition and year, so I meticulously check market prices.
Furthermore, our store specializes in vintage Rolex models from the 4-digit series, including Paul Newman and manual-wound Daytonas, which are challenging models that can take several days for other stores to authenticate and provide an appropriate price for. However, we provide immediate responses. Please feel free to consult us if you own one.
I also update my blog, which primarily focuses on vintage Rolex watches, daily, so please check it out!

Based on the motto "Customer First," I strive to provide accurate advice tailored to each customer's needs.
Our store has a rich selection of rare inventory and well-maintained vintage models, offering an environment conducive to honing appraisal skills, so I am constantly working to improve under the guidance of senior appraisers.
Furthermore, to ensure our customers feel at ease when buying and selling watches, we emphasize in-person appraisals, so please feel free to visit us.
When you do, I would be delighted to hear about your passion for watches and your watch history, and to engage in many watch discussions with you. I also post my recommended watches on Instagram, so please follow my account and give it a like! Thank you!

Comment

After working as a watchmaker for a famous brand for 20 years, I embarked on the path of an appraiser at Commit Ginza.
Leveraging my experience from my previous profession, I strive daily to assist customers as both a "doctor" and an "appraiser."
I can provide a wealth of useful information for owning luxury watches, especially regarding the mechanisms of mechanical watches, handling, and maintenance methods, so please feel free to consult me.
Additionally, on our official YouTube channel "COMMIT TV," I stream videos introducing how to handle luxury watches, so please check them out and be sure to subscribe and like!

Comment

I have accumulated experience as a watch appraiser since 2014. I can not only confirm the condition of watches but also provide appropriate prices based on market trends.
Furthermore, in my previous role, I was not only an appraiser but also involved in sales, so I can assist with purchases as well. Please feel free to consult me.
While Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Audemars Piguet are certainly within my expertise, please also entrust me with other brands.
To ensure that every customer who visits feels that coming to Commit was worthwhile, I will also focus on customer service and hospitality to provide additional value.
