Honestly, Tokyo is already out of those very carefully used vintages as they have been already bought and brought out to overseas....
... the dealers are buying from overseas, actually, today. So, it's today an urban myth 
It was 10 years ago and how many watches have been bought and brought out of the country these past years?
As a Japanese, I do not mind buying vintages or used ones from overseas....
Well, as for Seiko or GS or Citizen, Tokyo still has its edge, the last one.
Anyway, aside from watches, Tokyo may be interesting for all the tourists and I hope you all have fun. In case you want to see other watch nerds, there are a couple of mods in Tokyo, so don't hesitate to contact us - for help, for advice, or for small coffee, lunch or dinner with lots of talk!

Hello Gerardo!
Thanks for sharing and pleas, share some more when you can šš¼ Japan is a really great country to find amazing things! Best. RenĆ©
IMO Tokyo is the top for vintage/ pre-owned watch shopping
I wish I knew you were going. I could have shared my list of places to visit, which Iāve developed after several trips. They are hidden all over the city. Prices are high, but som is quality/condition. Next time!
I just moved to Tokyo a few weeks ago...I know some obvious ones like Jackroad, Raisin, Kame, etc. Still, may have a lot of missing jewels.
May I shamelessly ask you please share your list?
Iāll have to sit down and go through my notes and put a list and map together
There are some awesome ones!

HI
I can imagine how different the market was a few years ago, better prices and better preserved watches, of course, this "japannese" watches might been already sold, and as the demand is higher and higher lot of this vintage watches been sold in Japan may ...
