Questions

What is Tokyo Time?

Tokyo Time is an Australian classifieds site for Japanese watches. Owners list what they are selling, buyers message them through the site, and the two of them settle it between themselves. Tokyo Time is not a dealer: it holds no stock, takes no commission on a sale, and is not part of the transaction.

What does it cost to list a watch?

$9.90 for a 45-day listing with up to 8 photographs, or $29.90 for 90 days, 24 photographs and a Featured slot. Both get a permanent page of their own. There is no commission and no fee when it sells. Full comparison.

Which brands can I list?

Japanese watches: Seiko, Grand Seiko, King Seiko, Credor, Citizen, Orient, Casio, Ricoh and the independents. If a Japanese maker is not on the list, use “Other Japanese” and put the name in the title.

Does Tokyo Time check that the watches are genuine?

No, and it says so rather than implying otherwise. Nobody here inspects a watch or verifies a seller's description. Redials, replaced hands and swapped bezels are common on vintage Japanese watches. Ask for photographs of the movement and the caseback, and see the watch in person where you can.

Does the seller see my email address?

No. Messages go through Tokyo Time. The seller sees your name and what you wrote; your email address is never shared with them, and theirs is never shared with you. Both of you get an email when a message arrives.

How does the search understand a whole sentence?

You can type “1970s chronograph under $800 in Melbourne” and it will work out the decade, the movement, the budget and the state. What it does is turn your words into filters — which are then shown to you, so you can see what it decided and change it. The results themselves come from the listings database in the ordinary way. It cannot invent a watch that is not for sale.
