Always take any automated messages on FJ with a pinch of salt. I don’t think I have ever encountered a listing on Yahoo Japan Auctions that truly was pick up only. If you translate the description for this one, it’s clear that they will ship!
“About the shipping schedule during Golden Week ●

I only know what I’ve learned here - the movement quality scale, three times more late dial 44’s etc. Now news from your upcoming trip to Japan is eagerly awaited
The lovely 4522-7000 that you listed this week is a 'pick-up' only. So unless your nearby it a no go!
Pity. nice piece, thanks

There was a 6146-8040 that sold for quite cheap recently. Maybe prices coming down?

Soft with 4 movement kept the price down imo
Obviously a struggle this week. Can’t wait for Japan!
🤔 What was it that made it “obviously a struggle”?
