While there are threads telling you where to go for vintage shops, there doesn't seem to be a thread showing other crap you can find.

I submit to you: Rorax

Yes, I found vintage shops with $150k vintage Pateks but this outdoor stall in Ameyoko (Ueno) gave me the most laughs.

Japan is so weird in a great way. I snapped this recently in Bic Camera in Akihabara. Genuine Rolexes, Tudors, and toothbrushes for sale in the same frame 😁

BIC is a bit of a mess. yodobashi is a little better organised. Best discounts on moderns that I found were at LaOX in Shinjuku.

Also, whilst in Harajuku...

Don't you mean "Hurk"?
We are talking Rorax, after all.

Obviously a rip-off of the Rorex brand. 🙄

It's not just Japan and at least Rorax is a watch. I saw this ROTEX Western Inn driving around LA. What were they thinking?👎

From the street, you can barely make out the dash of the T so it looks like Rolex Western Inn.

There's a Chinese brand called POLEY, just a few short scratches away from being a ROLEX
