Anyone got any suggestions?
Nakano Broadway should have a bunch of vintage watch stores, among all the "everything you can imagine that is awesome" stores.

Watch collecting is serious business in Japan (remember the Rolex Bubbleback thing I posted a while ago, and that is where Panerai collecting all began in the 90's) so you will see some serious vintage watches there.
