Ryuzu Watches, the Japan-to-doorstep vintage watch scout
A commission-based service that searches Japan’s dealer, auction, and collector markets for specific vintage watches, inspects them in person, and ships approved purchases worldwide.
Field notes
Customers submit a reference or descriptive brief, receive an estimate of whether the search is realistic, and review an in-hand photographic condition report before Ryuzu buys anything. The service describes a ¥30,000 retainer credited against commission, a 15% commission with a ¥45,000 minimum, and typical searches lasting two to eight weeks. Export is presented as insured and DDU, leaving import duty and tax to the recipient.
