 Masamasa Hirota, editor-in-chief of the watch magazine Chronos Japan, hosts the radio program "BEST ISHIDA Presents Chronos Japan Tick Tock Talk♪." The guest on this episode is Kazuya Shimasawa of New York, a hugely popular comedy duo whose solo shows have attracted audiences of 12,000. His favorite timepieces are the Rolex Explorer and GMT-Master II.

 Shimasa says that recently, his sales have started to pick up and he's finally started thinking about building his assets. He tried cryptocurrency, but wondered if watches would be more stable. He bought the Explorer combination model for investment reasons, but then he thought, "Hey, isn't this cool?" and started to get interested in watches.

 With gold prices on the rise and the watch looking good, Shimasa has fallen in love with the Explorer. His next purchase was the Sprite, a left-handed version of the super popular GMT-Master II. As Shimasa is left-handed, he was very satisfied with the Left-handed model. "Such a rare model, especially with a Jubilee bracelet, is sure to satisfy me (in his mind)."


I bought a Rolex, and then I learned something.

 Shimasa says he's still a beginner and only wears such a fine watch about once a week when going out. However, he says he wears it when there are girls around. But, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, in this Reiwa era, luxury watches are not popular, and they cost absurdly much, but when I wear it, I feel a little more excited... it looks like a bonsai... I don't understand it anymore!
