Vintage watches in Japan
Hi all,
I am going to have the good fortune of heading to Japan in just a few days now. I was wondering if any of y'all could recommend some shops with a good vintage selection, especially in Tokyo. My focus is mainly on quartz, such as the 7a series chronos or twin quartz, but really I'd enjoy seeing anything vintage Seiko, Citizen, or other japanese brands. I already got some great advice from the fine folks on watchuseek, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask here too.
Thank you very much for the help!

Noted!
Not high end is actually more my speed. My ideals would be to find great vintage quartz. Will definitely take a look!
Tokyo has lots
of vintage watch shops around Nakano station, as well as many interesting second hand camera shops all over the city.

To the general vintage shopping as well! Optics in particular are indeed a Japanese specialty
Ok, yes, Nakano, but don't let your search end there.
Tokyo is FULL of watch stores all over. Some are in Shinjuku, Ginza, Shibuya, and other areas too. Nakano has the biggest concentration of watch stores, but in my experience, vintage ones are quite limited overall, as they are in most watch stores. Do a G...
Duly noted
Unfortunately I cannot completely hijack what is ultimately a family vacation just for watch hunting, but I will definitely do my best to explore with the time we have. I will try googling around for more places.
Yes, I can understand that. It all sounds good
And again have a fun time, and good luck in your finding something you like.
