Interesting Japanese (vintage) watch traders

This is a store in Hong Kong, not Japan

While hunting for UG/Movado serials I sometimes run into Japanse traders which for some reason don't easily show up in Google but are very interesting to browse. Perhaps not if you are mainly interested in Rolex and Omega but especially more obscure brands are well covered. Quality - in general is - (very) high. Thought it may be fun to share here.

Some remarks:

• Not all sites are easy to navigate. Some of them are in English but if not use Chrome (as browser) right click and choose translate.
• EURJPY=162 which means that JPY 100k is about EUR 616 (or USD 670) at the time of writing this (edited at 16 October 2024)
  [*]I don't recommend or endorse ANY of them..... Do your own due diligence if you want to buy something
